When I refer to compensation it is to a club to sign their coach. I read the names of Kear and Morrison but both are under contract and if they actually wanted to join us we will need to pay their clubs which is not our style. This is why I made my suggestion that the new coach will come from one of the pools of coaches stated.

We could give them £50 or half a dozen players.

I hope that MC has now got someone with a good inside knowledge of the likely candidates for coach advising him, I think the turnover of coaches we have had has done us no favours regards long term stability. MC has done a great job regards the financial stability of Wakefield Trinity and hopefully along with the financial stability and further good news regards a solution to the stadium saga it will give a much needed lift to the morale of the squad of players we have.. I think our future Super League status depends on getting it right this time with the next coach we appoint

Sounds familiar...

Re: New coach : Sun Mar 13, 2016 8:01 pm  

What worries me is who is going to choose the coach. I would not trust MC with anything rugby related and in all fairness he would admit his judgement is not the best. So who will MC turn to in order to get advice on the right candidate ?

Well MC thinks he has a mate down the road in Gill at Cas, but the guy is a false friend and has taken the urine out of our club with some of the players he has sent us.

Then there is the three stooges. They are likely to choose a mate of theirs who will look after them and keep their jobs secure.

Lets hope we get a good bloke, but don't be surprised if we employ one who is just a baffling as some of the players we have signed.

People are asking for Kear back and saying that Smith was too old at 61, but doesn't Kear now have his bus pass?
He was a great servant to the club during some trying times but is he really the man for the job this time around?

I have no idea who to pick or who may have applied, let's hope MC is taking his RL advice from someone with good RL knowledge.

Re: New coach : Sun Mar 13, 2016 8:54 pm  

Seems Tim Sheens would be the obvious choice, as Marwan has not been as vocal recently.
Leave the rugby to Tim and let Marwan bask in the glory of a winning team.

I think it's fair to assume jon sharp, john Kear and Kieran Purtill will have applied. A risky to potentially fantastic move would be Purtill. Jon Sharp would sort this team out without a doubt and Kear could have one last swan song. IMO sharp Kear purtill purely because I'm not sure Wakey can afford a risk in a rookie head coach

Re: New coach : Sun Mar 13, 2016 9:23 pm  

Well JK would not cost the club in compensation as his agreement with Batley is if a SL job came up if he fancied it he would be allowed to go but some how I don't see him wanting the Wakey job again as he has a nice little number part time coach and media work.

Re: New coach : Mon Mar 14, 2016 1:35 am  

I'd have JK in a shot. He would introduce structure and discipline in a side. As much as people railed against the "five drives and a kick", JK's tenure was the last time we were truly competitive year on year. Agar had a good seven games, which wouldn't have happened if Bradford had been solvent, but under JK was the last time I went to games and thought we had a chance of winning.
