So we are to believe that Sean Long just decided to tell some lies to the media now about Wigan not knowing who was going to be coaching them according to your theory?

Or is your theory that anything that brings IL's actions into question is a load of rubbish because IL can do no wrong?

Why cant you just accept that it happened? Be a man for once rather than just flying off the handle and rubbishing everything that does not suit what you want to believe.

Not at all. If you speak to AJ he will tell you i have said IL has done a very good job of the business side of things.

I can only assume you refer to me spitting my dummy out as being when i present people with a fact eg. the reason Sean Long did not sign for us.

Could it be that IL chose to NOT tell Long who the coach was going to be, as with Longs record it could have been on the back page of the newspapers the next day?

Couldn't have put it better myself (and that's saying something

).

You're right on all counts, as much about BN as IL. It's truly a pity that the rantings of micro-intellects can cause us to polarise our views so much.

I've got a good feeling this week, especially after reading morning's papers, and try as I may, I just can't get outraged about what was or wasn't said to Sean Long. The only thing that could really spoil the party now is if the new coach isn't who we hope it's going to be.

I think what we had was a novel situation. When was the last time a coach at any club who wasn't going to get a new deal saw his contract out?

I don't mean like Anderson at Saints or Lowe or Monie here who were leaving because they wanted to and it was all very positive with fans sad to see them go. I mean when was the last time a coach who the chairman did not want next year saw his contract out?

What usually happens is the coach gets sacked before the end of his contract (or if he is lucky made director of football like Powell at Leeds was) so Noble staying on to the bitter end was a new one on me and I think it makes an important difference to how things should be handled.

I also don't think not having the new coach signed up at the time the club could have announced Noble was leaving at the end of the season would have looked unprofessional. I think saying nothing as happened did look unprofessional. It makes it look as if they are peddling the job around and if they found no takers they will offer the existing coach the job anyway.

They didn't need to announce the new coach at the time they could have said Noble was off IMO so the failing to get McQuire and then giving it to Wane scenario need not have materialized. Mind you we may yet find ourselves in that situation if the BBC reports are to be believed it isn't all done and dusted with McQuire.



I get the impression the "neutrals" don't think this has been handled any better than Mo sacking another coach. It's a bit ironic letting a coach see his contract out turns out to be as controversial as sacking one!

Rantings?

The only person that is ranting is you and the IL happy clappers whenever anybody questions his actions.

Micro-Intellects?

It seems you think this about anybody that does not share your view on something. Only yesterday you called somebody else a prat just because they posted something you didnt agree on.

Your very good at giving but my God you cannot take anybody else having an opinion or view.

Adrian Lam is one of the applicants for the Barrow coaching role so cant see him being your new coach

Christ if true there chairman isn't short of splashing the cash is he.

Shame he couldn't spend it on some new kits for Sunday's final.

The clash was bad, we were watching the team in blue versus the team in slightly darker blue.

That was bad but I was referring to players having blue patches over old numbers. Looked like amateur RL
