John Kear : Fri Feb 19, 2010 4:40 pm  

Lazy journalism or worrying emergence of an old story?
The Sun (not a reliable source of information, I know) had reported today that Wakefield's problems are mounting and that we threaten losing our coach.
I hope this is lazy journalism, and know that JK has said he wants to take us to our new stadium etc. I also think he will want to work with this team he has put together, and that the England job is a poisoned chalice etc, but.....
Is the Terry Newton thing just one more problem which he could do without, and something which could turn him towards the England job if it were offered?
I really hope not, but was the reported "four hour meeting with directors" just about Terry Newton, or were other things discussed?

What problems, top of the league, new stadium in the pipeline etc etc. You seem to be very keen on creating none existent issues yourself.

To be fair, you would expect a long meeting (although I expect the four hours is fantasy). They need to decide whether to replace him now or wait, or just not bother, or even what to do with him vis-a-vis wages and other legalities until the second hearing. And to say JK suddenly has the England job because Newton has been suspended.

At least it has all come when we have a week off.

I agree that we are in a very strong position in many respects, but if you honestly think "what problems" given the fact that there are 11 pages of posts on the topic on this forum.....
Its something that I'm sure the Club and JK could have done without, and saying that its a "non-existent issue" which I have created is utter nonsense.
As has been said on another topic, this would be another great oportunity for the club and JK to refute the England links.
I hope to God he stays.

KEAR is a legend hes turned this club around. Surely he can't give us up for like 3 games of rugby a year. KEAR loves rugby league too much. He should say i will do it part-time or nothing at all how the hell can it be a full time job for a few games a year.

I have never seen him get a single scoop right, hopefully this will not be the first. Would be great if it comes out this week he has signed an extension and going nowhere, Mopsey would throw a right shenny!

Purely being devils advocate, by the time planning permission may be refused, we may also be bottom of the league, would you've so critical of the views of others?
