| Well Chester's gone and I wont deny I was in the Chester camp and I'm disappointed but maybe it's the right decision we will see. But I hope the Chester haters don't come on here with more faces than the town hall clock wishing him well when a number of so called supporters made his and his familys life hell on social media. I would like to thank him for his efforts in difficult times and finally I hope some of the personnel at Wakefield take a good luck at themselves.

Get a grip, because supporters weren't happy with performances and the state of the team under Chester we now can`t wish him well? I`ve heard it all now, I`ve not seen one poster cross the line on here with so called "Abuse" of Chester, I may be wrong, but I`ve not see anything... this isn`t Facebook or Twitter.

Correct people on here have not abused him or his family on here, they’ve wanted him in or out and I saw one post on Facebook by a young lad wishing he would die but no death threat or abuse against his family and if that’s the case I’d like to see it

It was the only decision that could be made. I've backed CC and the BOD over this for most of the time and though I did waver at points last year I never went all the way, the benefit of the doubt, etc.
However, the results over this season, especially those both before and since our false dawn against Hudds have been disappointing in the extreme. Again it's not the losses it's the manner of the losses. Far too many winnable games lost due to inexplicable collapses often after the HT team talk, poor signings, poor tactics, an overreliance on past it players, and the list goes on.
If we were just a poor team with poor players it wouldn't be so bad. But we are on paper at least a decent team with decent players. We certainly shouldn't have turned so many possible wins into defeats. If you take the last two seasons including Sunday the amount of HT leads (some big, some small) that we have lost is utterly unacceptable, Bad teams are bad for 80 minutes not just for the last 30.
Sunday finally got rid of any doubt anybody could seriously have had. The same dire second half, same panic, same lack of cohesion and resilience and to cap it all off a petulant interview from CC. At that moment his fate was sealed.

What are you on about, you want or agreed that Chester should die? I'm sure you don't mean that but your phrasing is awfull. Please clarify.

Vastman, Poching was alegend at Wakefield the fans loved him and he loved the club Did not ask to leave Wakefield .Went because we were short of cash .The Wakefield fans still sang to him ( nice songs lol) when he was in the Leeds shirt .Think he was with T Smith most of is time as a Coach so he should have some idea how to play attacking foot ball some thing we have not seen for well over 2 years

And what if anything has that to do with him being the right person to coach us, your post makes no sense at all.

| I was with a none rugby supporter who saw his interview after the game Sunday and they thought his whole demeanour was defeatist and to berate the team publicly showed a lot of insecurity.
I am sorry but he was given longer than any coach could expect in the business he is involved in and still we continued to slide. A possible problem could be that any new coach could be left with the signings selected by Chester.
The club have given themselves a chance and must ensure that whoever they bring in is the correct person for Wakefield and they do not waste this opportunity.

| To put the record straight I never said anyone on this thread had abused him I said on social media. Maybe those responsible for those shameful comments should try saying it to his face.

| Right decision all round, it will be a massive weight off his shoulders and he very looked a broken man throughout the past 2 years.
A new start for Trinity. It might revive our fortunes,it might not, but it's a positive move to force change and that's is what we've asked for
Surprised he's gone now, but it give Poching a window to showcase himself, but also allows prospective applicants to see how the team go and also hopefully a full off season to drag some improvement out of the team.

| Interesting to see all the posts saying he should go and now he has, we wish him well and he has a future in RL………. I think a fair point to mention is it doesn’t matter who is coaching, you can only play with the cards you have been dealt. If we have the smallest budget then surely the rewards aren’t going to be the best. One question, who was the last coach to guide us to 2 top 5 finishes and a challenge cup semi final in their tenure??? I’m guessing not many, so as I’ve always stated, in my opinion, did a great job considering.

Maybe he's making the point that Willie played in a backs to the wall attitude team and if he can get that across to the players, the performances will improve.
I would say Willie is probably more passionate about the club than CC.

Yup, that's where I was.
As PT said, he had a couple of great seasons with us and for a while there was great promise. Unfortunately, it never came to be and it was never going to happen again, that was obvious.
If the players react and start to play like they should have done, it will show the root cause was losing the dressing room. If we carry on as badly, then there is a deeper problem.

Don’t see how a wakey lad coming through all the Wakefield youth teams from the age of 10 or 11 district and clubs and supporting the club from being young, cannot be passionate about his home town team.
That is a ridiculous statement IMO.

Tony Smith and Webster were two assistants who stepped up and provided a cracking end of season. The year after showed their limitations. Poching likely to be the same, as too long as assistant, which suggests he himself isn't too bothered about the top job either in the long run.
I seem to recall Andy Last did okay at Hull in his brief stint as head coach but I don't know why he wasn't fancied over the top job permanently (as opposed to an Aussie water carrier who was probably more expensive).

Why is it ridiculous?
Never said CC wasn't passionate about the club.
CC has never been in a struggling team, so is unaware of what it takes to turn a situation like what we are in around.
Would say Poching is in a better position to understand and get that Wakefield passion out of the players.
