Quote ="The Clan"Listening to what John had to say in the post match interview provides you with all the answers you need as to why we are progressing on and off the field.
His comments are astute, insightful, he carries the composure of a man confident in his convictions. He obviously has the respect of every player at the club but seems to balance that by being part of their collective.
I like the fact that he admitted to making a mistake last year when bringing all the senior players back at the expense of the younger guys who had done so well.
It won't happen this year as he has assured the players in posession that they will have to lose form or be injured before he will replace them. Senior players coming back from injury will be forced to gain form and match fitness via the reserves, As it should be!
I know this to be true as Danny Brough has already been told he is with the reserves a week on Monday for his comeback and Scully is with the reserves tomorrow.
Compare John Kears interview with that of Jimmy Lowes and you see why there is such disparity between the two teams tonight.'"
I was slated on the Wigan board for staing during a thread that Brian Noble and Ian Millward were not proven coaches, they were coaches who had been successfull at one club, but to be a proven coach you have to make a career of it.
Kear is a proven coach, why because he has the ability to adapt and evolve and learn when other coaches do not.
