A s a Wakey fan I'd hate to see Kear go but frankly it's amazed me that he hasn't been snapped up before. I know he chose to step back from the top job for an easier life but he still got it.
Is he SL standard, maybe maybe not. Is he the type of coach who can pull you out of the mire, ABSOLUTELY YES so long as the club management back him and don't interfere.
Go for it I say
Spot on.
Some have questioned why Kear would want to leave his stable post with Wakefield where he seems more than happy, seems to have a brilliant relationship with Chris Chester & Michael Carter, and looking at their recruitment, could have very serious challenge on the top 4 and a place at Wembley. Very much a club on the up. To come to our basket case of a club which has had meltdown after meltdown, no stability and is rock bottom.
If i can use this metaphor. It's like when you see a grand old house. It used to be one of the grandest in the land. But now it's been left to ruin, it's leaning, you have damp throughout, the ceilings fallen through and all the windows have been put through. 99% of people would walk away. But for a few others, their eyes would light up. Passed the collapsed ceiling and smashed windows, they can see potential. It will take a lot of hard work, but they enjoy that sort of challenge. They see what sort of building it could become, not what it is now.
This is the sort of challenge Kear thrives on. We've hit rock bottom and in all honesty, have been toxic to the sport the last few years. But Kear would love to get in there, and rebuild. We're still a club with great potential with somehow keeping hold of a decent fan base, an amazing academy. He's exactly the sort of man we need and i think we're the sort of ugly duckling of the sport, he likes to take on.
