Chester doesn't need anyone else to undermine his position, he's doing a good enough job of doing that himself.

Perhaps bringing Kear back in as a consultant would make Chester realise how much he's messed up the opportunities he's been given though

I have met Chester on a few occasion, have you? He strikes me as a very open-minded and reasonable man and not in any way pig-headed. Chester will probably have to go if we are to ever regain any kind of form. However, you are living in a fool's paradise if you think Chester alone is the root cause of our problems, he simply isn't. It's endemic throughout the club especially amongst the players, many of whom no longer give a toss, This is because many were allowed to raise themselves at Trinity, an opportunity few would have received at any other club. However, they have now lost their will to push themselves and have reverted to the second-raters many really are.

Chesters biggest failure is to put too much faith in these players whilst ignoring the ones who care. He needs to look back to his first season when it was the youngsters like TJ and Jowitt who led the way instead of forever looking for quick fixes. He got lucky with Fifita but he's never really repeated that, the rest are what they are.

Gigot just stinks of desperation as do a few of the others. Ditto the utterly inconsistent team selections, even taking COVID and injuries into account he just seems to lack the will to stick with any kind of formation. Why he is how he is now when I really don't think he is that kind of man baffles me.

Baily did nothing wrong, show some balls Chris and go with the youngsters, what the feck have you got to lose!

All this now isn't even about the capabilities of CC as a coach, it's about his relationship with the chairman, and whether it's now detrimental to the club itself by keeping him on as coach indefinitely. I bet if there was relegation MC & CC would be suffering health wise and questioning whether walking away would be the best option for themselves, even in these uncertain financial times. Even if we lost every remaining game 62-0, and given what has gone before in recent history as re. performances and results, I think we all know he'll more than likely be the coach whenever next season kicks off, which surely can't be right? Unless of course MC'S unblinding loyalty and faith reaps rewards next season and beyond........ahem.....or maybe even amen........!

He's not going to sack his mate when he has a wife & family How would that look??. But Wakefield Trinity is a business & as an accountant, MC should know the saying there's no friends in business.

Yeah but there's sacking, and parted the club by mutual consent, ever heard of that one?! Which I believe was the actual 'reason' given for Webster's departure?

I don't understand why people think MC and Chester are so big buddies or why they think MC is not brave enough to sack someone. He's made some pretty tough decisions while at Trinity. Some people have lost jobs. Some have lost money. I don't think bravery to make a tough decision is MC's issue at all.
Whether he thinks its a decision that needs to be made is something else. I'm pretty sure he won't be swayed by 5-6 people on here "and all the people they talk to" .

And some on here make out I'm the troll! Lol

I won't say nobody, as it's possible someone does know MC and Chester outside of rugby but not many of the people posting know anymore than the next man on MC/Chesters relationship or friendship.

Getting pretty bored of this being the only thing discussed on here... across 98 topics.

Have to agree but it suits their viewpoint I suppose.

I guess also it's because he was slow to show Agar and Smith the door.

Didn't Smith resign?

Yes, I believe that's been made quite clear by another poster, but most on here thought he should have got the push before he had a chance to. Funny thing is I suspect he's the one coach MC would have liked to have sacked, Smith though has been around and beat him to the punch.

May I suggest you watch some interviews with MC & Terry Crook on Trin TV, then you may get an insight as to what sort of relationship they have. Aside from that, from a purely analytical, professional & emotionless viewpoint, how can you justify to continue to employ a coach of a team who have won 5 games out of the last 31 is it now???
