I have to say this is a difficult decision

Kear has a job and so will need to be convinced
Morrison has a job and they won't let him go this season so is a future appointment rather than immediate
Kelly seems like a good plan as he ticks a lot of boxes but he has been out of the game a long time and I wonder whether he could do it

Apparently the guy at Gateshead (who was at Cas......who's name eludes me) is interested but I've seen nothing on his CV that makes me think he's the guy either

JD would be a great appointment but he has a better gig now and really isn't an option to us.
Karl Harrison has some credentials but I'm not sure about him. Assistant at Bradford, not even head coach, but a possible
On that subject, Cummins is being talked about but he doesn't strike me as the tough leader so I'm not sure he's the man either.

So I'm no wiser really................I guess we'll see.

Dave Woods is the name.
There is also Nobby, who will have applied and apparently a couple of Aussies who have 'experience' over here.

Is Woods still at Gateshead?. I thought Stanley Gene was coach there.
Going down the Aussie route Mick Potter might not be a bad call.

If Nobby gets a shout you can expect a return of J S to the starting lineup.

Got to be Kear for me. He won't accept a lack of heart or pride and I think if anyone can get them defending/playing as a team, then it is him. I was sorry to see him go in the first place. As a twenty-four year old, I grew up with some of my favourite trinity performances under his tenure.

Re: New Coach, Who? : Tue May 26, 2015 11:07 am  

From the names i have been told are rumoured to have applied, there are plenty who want the job, although a couple must surely be just chancing there arm!!

Francis Cummins
Brian Noble
Neil Kelly
Steve McCormack
Warren Jowitt
Barry Eaton
Dave Woods
Francis Stephenson
Karl Harrison
Couple of Aussies??

Anyone heard anymore?

Definitely agree with that, one thing you will get with Kear is a well drilled team.

Favorite memory (Outside Judgment day of course) under Kear, was our comeback victory against Cas in 2011, Easter weekend with a team full of kids and "Nobodys" no disrespect intended as many of those players have gone on to establish themselves as SL players but at the time were players that were not wanted by any other club.

I wouldn't rule out JD just yet, he hasn't ruled himself out.

Funny you should say that, I was talking to a fan at the game on Sunday who I know for sure has contacts in Australia, I asked him if the club has been in touch with him, and he replied well if they have Jason is certainly playing his cards close to his chest, that's not to say your wrong btw just passing on what he said.

All I know is that he has talked with the club.

I also know that the coach has already signed the contract, definitely not GM.

New coach to be announced post magic weekend.

Carter said that fans might be surprised when the identity of the new man is confirmed.
