Well that's not how I remember things. My recollection is that a bitterness and a bit of a falling out developed when Kear was approached by Catslan but the club would not allow it without compensation. From that point on things were not the same and bad feelings started to build and fester. But you are correct he left in a bitter way and got some stick.

But he did return after all that. The second time he left was with a thank you from the club and I honestly dont remember one bad word from anyone on the second occasion. Could be wrong but that's what he recall.

I’m talking about this forum and fans in general. He was absolutely hammered on here for his ‘boring’ rugby despite no budget and a six point deduction. Sorry PB but all those who wanted him to get the freedom of the city in 2006 wanted him out.

Of course it went well the second time as the team was playing well.

Personally I'd rather go for a Wane or Kear....... Or an up and coming NRL coach who has good recommendations like JD did.
I think it needs someone with either a lot of experience or someone removed from the emotion who just wants to get a result and move on in 2 years.

If we had to go unproven English I'd go for James Ford at York.

If we are going down that route with the unproven English and I'm certainly not against it, I'd go for Sean Long at Leeds, love to see him given the chance.

Personally think that's too much of a gamble given our predicament

As much as it pained me watching our team lose an 18 points lead yesterday, and as much as I despair at most of our plays, and in the frustration of the moment I think CC should leave, I didn’t see him drop the ball from the GLDO, which started the giants revival, I didn’t see him mess up trying to pick the ball up the knock it over his try line then pass it to a giants player to score, all the other mistakes the players on the field make. I agree with his criticism of players, I don’t think some of them are good enough, I believe some of them don’t have Trinity at heart, and should be released. None of us are privy to what goes on in the dressing room, on the training field or the social life of the players. Only the Coaching staff have that information.
I don’t know if CC will leave/be sacked, sometimes I think he should, but as supporters, we have to back the club
I think we will end up in the second tier if it’s 2x 10 league, depending on CC recruitment for next year. I will be disappointed if that happened, but I will still be a supporter, as I’m sure many others will be, it’s in the blood.

Yes plenty of stick but after all that he did return. So why not return again.
In all fairness though I dont think he sees himself at the sharp end anymore. Director of rugby is the role he prefers these days

Kear or Ward for me.

Ward got a lot out of a group that were really a good Championship squad by getting them fit and by making it look like they were enjoying themselves. He proved himself, in my view, given the talent he had at his disposal.

We've gone downhill since Kear left, and it is hard not to wonder whether in reality it was a Kear-coached side that did so well. Any coach with Chester's record over three seasons would have gone. I can understand that the club would be reluctant to sack him if there is no relegation, as there wasn't last year, as it would cost money, but to reward performances that are way below our squad quality, and have been for a long time, with a new contract would be plain bizarre.

The point is quite simply this, If Chester is the coach at Wakefield Trinity next season, we will be relegated.

In the press today Chester is yet again saying we need a mass overhaul and that the players (his signings) just aren't good enough, he said exactly the same thing last season! And something similar the year before?

In other words, "these guys won't play for me".

And the new guys would? He's done, for me. I just can't muster any enthusiasm for our prospects.

Losing the dressing room is one thing. Losing the terraces is another.

Not sacking? Yeah, I get that.

Giving a new contract? Bizarre, if it happens. A long suicide note for the club.

We need to aim higher.

B Smith kept us in S L and left us with a fit team it started going wrong from there

No it didn't, we looked brilliant in some games long after Smith had left. However it's immaterial because I think we all pretty much agree Chester needs to go even his previously staunch fans.
