Did it all start tumbling for Widnes when Dewsbury walloped the Chemics in the Challenge Cup?

I don’t think Widnes have played well all season. When we’ve won games it was down to opposition being poorer than us on the day. Teams h as he figured out that we’re easy bests eventually. Swinton had a few ex Widnes players who easily outperformed their counterparts that Kear brought in

John Kear has left Widnes with immediate effect.  Wouldn't place all the blame at his door tbh.  The players are just not good enough.

hardly surprising as Widnes just haven't been coming up with the goods, you need a young forward thinking coach next not someone who learn't their trade twenty or thirty years ago. I can't see where K

Was quite obvious over past two months there wasn’t a plan B for when we started losing more games than winning. Think there’s more problems than Kear at Widnes but I the game plans have been woeful a

I just hope that there's someone tapped up ready to come in.

If they do it like last time where they sack the coach, say the search for a replacement has begun, put out a job listing, interview several candidates then make a decision we'll have to write off the season, again. 

I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks.

And next really. Need a coach in place now to a) sort this shower out b) start building the squad for next year

Always the coaches fault at times like this. Same in all sports I know but it seems short termism has crept into RL. Fans demand it and chairman see an easy way to place the blame on someone else.

Sad to see a club of Widnes stature like this. The whole club needs a shake up to get them back where they belong.

I’ve just seen a startling statistic online that says Widnes have had 7 different coaches in 7 seasons.

If they are serious about getting back into SL in the future they would do well to try and tempt Lee Briers back from Brisbane with the head coaches job, I think he will prove to be a great coach one day and Widnes would be a great project for him.

Will probably end up with John Duffy or Stu Littler

Imagine leaving a growing career in the NRL and living in Brisbane to go to Widnes.

Most Widnes fans recognise there are more issues than the coach, but that's the first casualty.  The players should take the responsibility - however JK kept picking the same under performers each week

O Carroll. Wish I could place a bet on it.

I guess he's been fired by Widnes previously (the old board, of course). I'd be pretty pleased if this turns out to be the case. I suppose it depends on whether he wants to move back from France again. Besides him, there is of course another current Catalans/ St. Esteve coach who is an ex-Widnes player and international who is often mentioned when these kinds of jobs come up.

Maybe your 8th manager in 7 years will be able to get the players to perform

Ian Watson might be looking for a job soon.

That would be crazy. If you are right though, He can just wait for another Super league job. That's where he belongs. And his backroom staff.

Maybe a different set of players will do the trick - There's a few players who have played for the majority of those coaches

With Bradford not having many people apply for the job with their problems, you wonder if Widnes will be the same. There just seems something very fundamentally wrong at the club.

If the media are right Eamonn O'Carroll is the next Bulls boss. Will take over for pre season as wants to finish season with Catalan.
