Hugh Jarce Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Sorry to say, I don't think we will announce anything until the next game is out of the way. Hopefully, with a win giving us a chance of staying up. The budget we have for player's or coach and his backroom team, will depend upon which league we are in. Another defeat will result in a different list of candidates for coach in a lower league. 2 "Life's tough.......It's even tougher if you're stupid." - John Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told yesterday that Mark had been in touch with John Kear to help the club but had turned us down due to a opportunity elsewhere. Plenty of interest in the job and it’s not been advertised yet.

Rambo Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) We are just about down. The whole club needs a kick up the arris and after yesterday we’ve got nothing to lose. Cant think of anyone else now that John Kear has opted for Widnes other than Leon Pryce. Not sure he’d want the job but if he did he might be able to cajole / rattle a bit of enthusiasm out of our failing “stars” Edited June 6, 2022 by Rambo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therein73 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 One of the problems is that we need Paul Sykes out on the park at the minute ...... so it then needs someone else with experience to make "game time" decisions while Sykes leads the team on the field...... I don't know where Francis Cummins or Barry Eaton are involved currently, but someone (like them) with their coaching experience would surely be a welcome addition in the current situation..... The first half on Sunday was the best of the season - let's not lose sight of that either, but to ask Sykes to Coach a relegation-threatened team AND take on on-field responsibilities as well is asking a hell of a lot from the guy ........... Full credit to him for saying he'd take it on. Who would I like to see in charge ?? ........... Richard Marshall but sadly I don't think we could (financially) prise him away from Warrington Academy ........ and that's a sad indictment of the game as a whole. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Flatter Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I don’t think Paul March, or the likes of Gary Thornton or Leon Pryce would be the best, either for keeping us up and certainly not for progressing in the current division should we remain in it for next season. I imagine Pryce’s “rattling a bit of enthusiasm” would be akin to the days of Tony Fisher’s style. Who would I want? It’s more of who can we afford, or who would want to come. John Kear was probably out of our price range (as would be Richard Agar, but he doesn’t want a coaching job right now). Perhaps we could look at one of a SL team’s assistants. You never know, he might come at an affordable price if he sees it as a step up and to prove his ability as a head coach. Legs, Dews, Legs.

Wakefield Ram Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 On a practical level, the club has excellent training facilities, sound if limited finances, a chairman who doesn't interfere in team matters and will give any coach 2-3 seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going forward depends how ambitious and serious Mr Sawyer is. I don’t know him at all so I am not in a position to judge. A decent coach will usually come on board if the deal is right. Just one from left field Mark Applegarth at Wakefield. Don’t know if it would ever get off the ground though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
