I think (not that we would) bring back Nobby would be the worst decision for the club. Him and Caisley have landed us in pretty much most of the shocker situation we are in now.

Nobby spent most of the money we had on players for 'his' 1st team squad no matter how much they cost...ie Harris. He didn't consider investing and recruiting in decent youngsters when the older guys moved on. Now i think thats why we are in the trouble we are in.

Thats not Steves fault, he has brought in players who he can under the budget we have. The days of going to get 'whoever you want and we'll find the money' are long gone. Steve doesn't have that so he can only go for what we can afford.

Nobby was never interested in going out to find new talent for the under 21's or 18's. He wasn't prepared to invest in the decent kids that were out there back then. Steve is interested in bringing in kids hence why he's taking time out to go get them.

Nobby caused the problems with the Harris and maybe others. Steve just happens to be the one that has to sort it out. If it wasn't him it would have to be someone else............wouldn't chance anything. Yes we could bring in Harrison or Millward .....who's going to pay them what they want???????? we don't have the money.

i have faith in Steve to bring us back up with the team he has, its not going to be easy.

As for the backroom staff, they work there backsides off and its not there fault they have been left with some kids that were signed under nobby etc when they were never going to make it. Its going to take time to find some kids that have what it takes to make it through.

We let some of the youngsters go (Atkins, Bridge) because nobby didn't want them or he didn't have the money....funny how he found the money for Harris!

And as the saying goes you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear!

I think that the current set up are doing the best they can with what's available.

I was wondering how long it would take for Goebbels to turn up.

Are you talking about Wigan today?

I couldn't give a flying f*ck about Wigan today.

Papering over our cracks by pinpointing other teams isn't on my agenda, and shouldn't be on anyone elses.

This is a thread about bringing Noble back.. who is currently coaching the Wigan side.

My comments, that you quoted, were nothing to do with bringing Noble back - and it isn't a view I've expressed.

In fact in that very post I said it was unfair to compare McNamara to Noble



Threads very often move on from initial titles.

I suggest a look at the Stains v Pies match before making assumptions

Yeah look at it, at least Wigan can get over the line.

the point is you get games like this

24/03/05 Bradford Bulls V Leeds Rhinos 12 - 42

This in our Championship Winning year, has a familiar ring to it.

A real supporter takes the pain as well as the gain, so not a lot of real ones on here then!

7 wins in 18 games.

Great Stuff

Which is what to do with posts on here?

Or is a real supporter one who sticks their head in the sand and refuses to discuss any problems?
