I could live with a new young british coach like Franny he has served a good apprenticeship under some really good coaches.

If it is Francis Cummings then the level of inspiration will have much to do with his first press release and his initial signings.

If he speaks with conviction about doing the right things and targets some quality signings then his appointment would be a boost to season ticket sales.

bang on Clan I'm with you on this, it would be a risk and would depend upon how he portrays himself to boost ticket sales etc.

If its Cummings then i'll get behind him and wish him all the best but i'm just a bit unsure that at just 34 whether he is ready for a position as head coach, especially if we have someone as equally inexperienced alongside him. Theres also the risk that he will be seen as the cheap option, whether that is true or not. I guess we'll find out soon enough either way. Maybe an experienced director of football above him would help and i'd certainly like to have someone else with a welth of knowledge in AG's ear though about rugby matters rather than just JE.

Not one of the coaches (including Mr Gentle) mentioned so far has the pedigree Kear had when he joined us in 2006. Also IMO only Gentle appears to offer more than Kear did in 2006. Worse still most of them don't even offer what Kear does now, assuming you don't believe the anti Kear claptrap peddled by some on here.

There is an old saying "better the devil you know". I have a horrible feeling that if we choose badly many of the people bright and not so bright may be ruing the day we got rid of him or more to the point replaced him with an inferior dud.

My money is on the clown prince Lupset Airport to be the first to start the bring Kear back wasn't Kear really great campaign - I'm not joking.

I would say that Noble does but still wouldn't be my choice. I think the biggest reason that Kear had to go was that the whole Club needed freshening up from top to bottom. I do agree though he will be a tough act to follow especially given that the new coach will have funds beyond what Kear or any other coach at Wakey has had.
