Bulldog Days Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Looking through the Bradford T&A, they have stated that Matt Diskin's name has been thrown in the that for their new coach's job. Is there any substance to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog Days Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 It would be interesting to know either way if Matt has approached them or vice-versa.Other names linked to the job include Paul Anderson, Jon Sharp, Neil Kelly, Richard Marshall, and Lee Greenwood. Also what type of compensation package would be offered on the remaining 2 years of a 3 year contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. If I were a betting man and I'm not ,I'd go with Jon Sharp. Experienced. Coached longer and higher level. Won't cost the earth. And would probably get them back up. And we DO need them back up at the 1st attempt. For one and only reason. ...crowds. WHERE DO YOU WANT ME TO SWIPE THIS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Nicholas Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Not really too concerned who will be the next Bulls coach just know it will not be Matt who will continue to work hard with our players to improve on last season. More importantly Matt and the players WILL improve as all existing staff grow together and new lads fit in well. We have a good group of lads. I personally can sense that and am full of confidence in everyone’s ability and attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPH Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Bradford Bulls have confirmed that John Kear is the club’s new head coach – a story first revealed exclusively in this Monday’s League Express. Kear leaves his role at Wakefield Trinity effective immediately to join the Bulls on a full-time basis as the club’s new coach on a three-year contract. “We’re ecstatic that John has committed his time to us. He’s a remarkable coach and a great man that has a lot to offer the club,” said Bulls co-owner Andrew Chalmers. “Moving forward, John will bring an experienced and professional approach and really benefit the club, as he will implement a winning culture into the team. “He’s a man with a lot of knowledge of the game who will offer a huge lift to the squad, especially the younger generation.” “It is going to be a new experience. It’s an iconic club and it has been one of the greatest names in the Super League era, especially in the early part of it,” said Kear. “Obviously, it has come upon hard times, so I’m really excited to first of all be enlisted with the job of bringing stability to the place but then also gradual improvement. We want to regain our place where we feel the infrastructure of the club belongs, which is obviously in the highest level.” "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that it's difficult to determine whether or not they are genuine" ....Abraham Lincoln 1809-1865..

Johndeere Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 They have done well to get John Kear for sure He will do a good job as folk have said I just hope he don't come picking our pockets when contracts are up he has had a great insight into our team !!

fredm Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Well the answer to that is to ensure that contracts are renewed/updated as required well in advance of their expiry to stop him picking people off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
