There's been a lot of problems behind close doors recently, I hope it gets sorted soon

well done, you're a credit to this board

Too true, he pays the wages and as such me can then make comments, if the players don't like it then they can pull their collective fingers out and justify their increased wages and make the Doc either praise them or eat humble pie.

Don't you just love these sort of comments?

Would "put up or shut up" be the best response?

NO, don't bother would be much more apt.

Have to agree with Redgunner and Talent Spotter. Social media isn't the place for an club owner to be publicly criticising his own team's performances. Express your disappointment at the results by all means but leave at that. If the Doc isn't happy he should keep it private and take the matter up directly with Noble.

Let's put this in perspective, what would your reaction be if your boss publicly criticised your work performance on twitter?

Humble Pie ?A Wiganers favourite pie

Everything he says will make headlines. We can do without the various 'Noble under pressure' and 'owner criticises players' stories IMO, especially when we are only 5 games into the season.

He has made a long list of ridiculous comments, some amusing, some cringeworthy. It is allowed to disagree with him on occasion though (I think).

I'd agree with that, except he hasn't said anything out of order in my opinion. Stating that the team have not performed seems fair enough to me. His other options are. Say nothing (Fans then say he lacks knowledge and leadership) Say something positive (Fans then accuse him of not knowing about RL or putting a spin on things) Single-out individuals (Which wouldn't be the right thing to do) so he tells the truth and people still find fault. If it was justified I'd say so, like in some other circumstances in the past, but in this instance it really isn't.

I can see where you are coming from, if I thought the criticism was useful and served a purpose I would be in favour, however all it seems to have done is to create negative headlines such as 'Devilution in crisis' in todays Sunday Mirror.

He needs to tread a fine line. As pointed out it is refreshing to have a senior figure putting forward an honest view of what is happening but there's a danger he puts the playing and coaching staff under unnecessary pressure (there's already strong perception publicly that he's likely to be trigger happy and I imagine the players are staff have a similar perception in the back of their minds). It was always highly unlikely we'd come out firing on all cylinders and at this stage I think he'd be better advised to keep quiet pending the Cas fixture.
