Widnes : Mon Jun 26, 2023 2:32 pm  
Kears gone. I know Wood isn't everyone's cup of tea (putting it mildly) and owners always look less bad when things are going well on the field. But Widnes look an absolute shambles whereas we at least have some stability. We have our Academy license, making some decent signings etc

I think this may be the end for John. He has had a great coaching career but now is the time to put his feet up an keep his self respect.

Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on.

They sure love starting a season with one manager and ending it with another...

At least we got that feel good factor during his first season and he also masterminded that incredible Cup performance against Leeds. Things went south very quickly at Widnes for JK.

He's an important figure in the history of the sport, with some wonderful unexpected results over the years. But time marches on, and it looks like his ability to turn things around when it's going south just isn't there. Definitely time to focus on the telly work and retire from coaching.

Re: Widnes : Tue Jun 27, 2023 11:20 am  
To be fair to Kear, I think Widnes's problems are far more deep rooted than just the head coach. 3 players have left during the season, none have been replaced. Since been relegated, they've gone into admin, lost their Academy and not made the play-offs once. Looks very bleak over there.
