Thank you Brian for the last three and half years - you are a man of integrity and honesty and I will always remember you for these qualities. You also saved our team from certain relegation whilst getting us to 5 semi finals in the following 3 seasons. Again I thank you for that and the roller coaster ride that went with it. Some teams in Super League would give their right hand for that kind of success.

I wish you all the best for your future.

But we move on with a new coach - as yet unamed - who will be under enormous pressure. Ian Leneghan has pinned his colours firmly to the mast on this one - nothing less than a final appearance will be good enough next year.


I can't wait.................

Shows a Real lack of Class on your Part

Andy

We discussed at the end of the game wheather we thought Nobby leaving was the correct call and it was a mixed bag amoungst our group.

My view is/was that all Wigan fans should thank him for the job he's done but maybe it's time to move on. He came in 06 with us in a sorry state and very quickly seemed to sort the club from top to bottom but the problem is we've not moved forward since after about 6 months of his spell with us. He got us sorted within 6 months of taking over but we've not improved as a side since imo.

We've lost 5 semi finals under him and last night was possibly a chance to put that demon to bed and get more then a fair share of Wigan fans on his side for staying but yet again we came up a touch short.

Thanks for the hardwork Brian and for putting the club back together and giving us a team we can at least be proud of 'some' of the time but the times just right for a parting of the ways.

Correct

And I can't understand why certain fans can't do it with a bit of Class and yet instead can't resist other "Cheap Shots" at the man.

So sorry to see nobby go it's obvious from the fans at the end of the game last night that a lot of people didn't want him to go hope your new club treats you with a little more respect thanks for everything

but its true...sadly

Pretty much sums up what I think tbh. He has got us to a point where I think we are ready to challenge again, unforunately for him I think we need that little bit of something different to take us to the next level.

The sympathy for him from my point comes from the way a man of his class and integrity appears to have been treated and given no credit from those above for his achievements, however minor in some peoples eyes.

we need class...we do not have 1 world class player in the squad/

I look forward to reading his autobiography whenever he writes one.

Thanks Brian. Theres a lot of us who recognise all the great work you did and would of loved to see you reap the benefits of it by being given the extra couple of players and little bit extra time you needed to take the extra step.

I thank Brian Noble for steadying a very rocky ship but apart from that, theres not much else he needs congratulating for. Infact 5 semi final defeats tells the whole story.

Its because of Brian Noble that there have been times this year that Ive not been bothered about going to matches. His style of play is ridiculously boring! The inconsistency of his wigan sides has also been horrific

Thanks for you efforts Brian, but youve gone at the right time
