We (Tigers) have been on the look out for a new centre for a few months now hence the interest in Arundel before he joined WTW. We have Shenton and Webster but not much after that. |

| Quote chissitt="chissitt"It wasn't halfway through the season though, it was near the end of July with only a handful of games left to play, We had nothing left to play for realistically and it was obvious that Kear's contract was not being renewed, Broadbent could have overseen what was left of the season so no compensation was really needed,
Don't you think it might have looked better on Ted if he'd just said go on John your leaving any way in a couple of month, go and fill your boots in France, it's the least we can do for all you've done for us, with regards to them not wanting to pay for him there in an exclusive club called SL where I would imagine they had a wide range of candidates, and for me it was more a case of what they could do for him, more than what he could do for them, just my opinion.'"
He asked for £15k, hardly a kings ransom! I don't think that was a deal breaker tbh.
Ted was doing what he thought best for our club. You may not agree but that's what he thought at the time. |

It was the fans that helped get Kear in last time. Ted wanted James Lowes who was assistant in some God forsaken place at that time.

It wasn't Ted that wanted him in as much as what Steve Ferris did, and it was only when the penny dropped that Lowes wasn't interested that Ferris turned to Kear after having a word with Kears agent David Howes, the rest is history as they say. |

Correct.
And now Ferres has his man! |

Quote SBR="chissitt"I'm not sure of the finer details but I remember posting at the time my disgust for Ted Richardson for not allowing JK to go to Catalans when they approached the club for his services, unfortunately for Kear Ted's greed got the better of him and wanted compensation which they refused, I thought he left when Ted did but I must have got the timing wrong.'"
And your point is what exactly, there's the gist of my post what matters, it's in bold where I admit that I might have got the timing wrong which you are quick to point out, but a bit shy in admitting to the important parts where I got it right, I suppose spending all your time on the VT and the Sin Bin boards make you a bit cynical, not to mention the time you have on your hands where you have the advantage of wykapedia to try and make someone look foolish, because you don't personally have the knowledge  |

Tbf, he's not the only one who can't admit when he's wrong, is he?
Teds greed? Clearly he had to find a new coach half way through a season, and I think he was right to ask for compensation for our club! |

Iv'e already stated on two occasions to getting my dates wrong, what more can I say.
We clearly have different opinions regarding Ted and his dealings with the club, Catalans did not want him till the start of the 2011 season, Ted had told Kear that they would not pay out his remaining contract for 2011 which Kear accepted, yet Ted still insisted for compensation of £20.000 not £15.000 as stated by you from Catalan's, so by that reasoning he would have been paying for a new coach with Kear's saved salery. If your top sentence is a back handed apology I will reluctantly accept it |
