Lots of speculation about who the fans think should be the next Wakefield Trinity Head Coach.

Lots to consider,

First and foremost:
Who WANTS the job!
Who is available!

Short Term, we need turning around before the M8s
Long Term, we want some stability and a Head Coach who will value the Youth pathways as much as the Super League team.

But who?

You ought to have Willie Poching on that list as well.

Neil is available so probs would be a cheap option as no other club to pay off

I’ve recently voted for Glenn Morrison and would be happy with his appointment if he were the one to take over, but after Clans post Neil Kelly makes more sense. It’s time we brought an identity back to this club. Get a quality coach who has an affinity with the club who has a wealth of experience and get more of the club trained players in the team rather than half d dross we’ve seen in the past 3 months.

Oh, and if he can find somebody with a few spare millions to come along with him all the better. Otherwise well be having his same discussion ad infinitum.

Francis Cummins is available too isn't he ?

Poching, Kelly, it's like being back in '99 with that cool black & white Sainsbury's sponsored shirt.......

Bloody Hell Fire!

I can't add any more to the list, we might be better signing all the prospective coaches and using them as a new team.

I hope whoever comes in drops the players who have a poor attitude (not specifically sure who they definitely are but I have a few ideas who MC was referencing to) and brings in youth to replace them. Max Jowitt, Crowther, Annakin, Trout etc they are local lads who give their all and would never lose from lack off attitude.

Rumour has it that Mavis Pearman wants to ditch the cross dressing and come back as our Chairman

Could you tempt Mcnamara back?

Nooooooo

Ohh well, maybe Ted Richardson can come back too and join in the fun

For me its about the desire and approach they bring.

What people seek when they mention John Kear is the attitude he came with - he KNEW that if he got hold of that squad that he could keep us up. He didn't think so, or believe so, he KNEW.

We are still in SL and the odds are even that we can stay up there - what better way for someone to prove that they can cut it at the top level.

Be it JD/Ned/Andy/Glen whoever, its all about coming in with that positivity and commanding that amongst the players we have.

Tough job - eminently do-able!

Given the position the club is in it needs someone with a proven track record with recent top flight experience and a handle on the modern game to get us out of this. Which is where in my opinion John Kear stands head and Shoulders above any other candidate right now, he has exactly what it takes to get this group of talented underperformers playing like they can. Personally I feel Neil Kelly has been out of top flight RL coaching too long, the game has moved on since he was sacked by Widnes in 2004, eleven years is a long time between superleague drinks and I think it is 6 years since he left his last RL job at leigh? To have him jump into a club in our our position would be a very big risk, it might pay off but it could also backfire badly. All about opinions though.

I think he's lined up for the Hull job, if it doesn't work out for Radford

Not a Radford fan, but just I think he is on his way out,, he seems to turn it around, certainly happy with the way things are going at the moment, although still doubts about him long term.

I don't think Mcnarmara would that bad, he will have improved a lot from his days at Bradford and is learning his trade at a great club with a great coach.

I remember JK being interviewed after a Sky game shortly after he'd taken over. He turned to the camera with a beaming smile and personally told Stevo what his expected win rate/percentage was to keep us up. There was absolutely no reason to not believe in him. That's the kind of coach we are crying out for again, not one who talks the game down a week in advance then searches for the positives in a 50 point drubbing. JK might not be the man to do it again but I'd believe he could if he did come back.

You are very,very welcome to him, should the need arise but, please don't foist him on Wakefield, we really have enough to cope with.

I would go for Morrisson but would be quite happy with Kear or Kelly.

Available and at what cost

There are a few on the list that I would not be bothered about.

Of those who could do a job some might not want a high pressure with low budget, high expectations job for 11 months.

As i've put elsewhere short term Kear with him then becoming director of rugby to be replaced as coach by Morrison would be my ideal.

That could be a costly option.

So be it. The cheap option won't work and will cost more in the long run.

In this ideal situation presumably Kear would be working for the love of the club and very little financial incentive when he went upstairs, but surely if Morrison can't do the job on his own without kear's help why would the club want him in the first place, wouldn't it be simpler to just get a coach that can do the job instead.
