I think you need a longer term plan. Kear might be the man to motivate a last ditch fight to stay in SL but is he the man for a long term rebuild? Today was obviously massively disappointing, losing with against championship opposition with some of your key men back in the side. But I personally feel Wakefield might well be better accepting that they might be better off in the Championship under the current structure.
On the surface of it Bully, that might sound like a good idea, but if we do get relegated (forgone conclusion if nothing changes), we are likely to get booted out of Belle Vue by the ground's owner's - The Bank of Ireland - as they are already chomping at the bit, and, as we have been shafted by Newmarket's developers AND OUR OWN COUNCIL, then we will be groundless, and possibly have to look at sharing with Dewsbury. This will mean that our already dwindling support will ebb away to virtually nothing, reducing our income even further, at which point our thrifty chairman, is likely to walk away (if he hasn't already done so). Staying in Superleague really is our only hope of survival - IT REALLY HAS GOT THAT BAD !!!

Probably the off-field problem is why the coach is struggling to motivate the players - or the players motivate themselves.

Angelic Cynic.....As far as I am aware, there have been no issues with the players wages this season, so why should events off the field impact on them ??. It is their job to perform on the pitch and nothing else. Let the Chairman worry about events off the field. It's not luck we need...it's players to do what they are paid to do....and a lorry load of cash would come in useful as well, please !!!
Should NEVER have been allowed to leave to start with.
However I doubt he's got it anymore and even if he did these clowns are not a patch on that 2006 team.
The one thing that Kear can do, is instil belief and bring the best out of the players. The squad that he had during his last season in charge was nowhere near our current squad.
I'd love to know what was said in the 2 changing rooms at half time.
Leigh came out full of vigour and belief and Wakefield looked beaten as they took the field, it was truly awful and with the exception of the comeback at Cas, under Webster's reign, we just don't seem capable of changing the game once it's under way. I despair at what must go on between the coaching staff and blame must also go to our senior players who should be capable of dealing with adversity during the game.
As for Kear, I'd have him back at a heartbeat, Webster is no longer fit for the job and if he had some pride, he would do the decent thing.

Sorry mate, I wasn't aware the situation re the ground was so critical. If that issue can be resolved, life in the Championship isn't too shabby..it's certainly helped re-ignite my passion for my team.
