Quote Catalancs="Catalancs"What did he say?'"
What i can remember.
Dave Whelan (no joke) said Noble was great for wigan what he did when he first took over he should always be respected for it.
He said he was a brian noble fan but the time was right for a change
He also said this wigan side reminded him of leeds a few seasons back..making semis but just couldnt get over the line. they made the change by bring Smith in and it brought in that bit extra they needed. He believes this appointment could bring that bit extra to wigan to get them over the line.
Not 100% is exact wording but that was his points
