Looking at the upcoming fixtures in July and early Aug it is hard to see where IL can schedule it to avoid anything but a rough ride given the demanding nature of the next 6 or seven games.

Then again he could schedule it for the week after the semi and hope that we drop lucky in the semi, I am sure if this happens much negativity will be swatted away.

Maybe Mr Lenagan wants some issues dealt with before he calls another fans forum.

The major issue being the future of the head coach, not much point calling a forum if he hasn't sorted out whether Nobby stays or if he's going to recruit a new boss.

a tool like you understood it

without sending this thread further down the lines of personal insults . the question i would have to ask is . would getting rid of nobby , improve the team, IMO it wouldnt , we would still have smith who cant tackle for toffee, Riddell half d preformances, coley up and down , fielden a shadow of his former self, ainscough week under the high ball. feka unfit as hell. just to name a few . a new coach would still have all this to deal with. maybe a change of some of the playing staff would be a good call. pay off contracts if needed . if a new coach is required then very soon after new playing staff should be high on the agenda . just my thoughts. and as for my thoughts on a new coach yes i would like to see someone new

But the present coach HASN'T dealt with these things, has he? And wouldn't it be better for next year's coach to choose his own new players?

I don't think anything will happen until the end of the season. Nobbys contract expires then anyhow, making it easier for Lenegan to make the change.

This is the first time that i can remember where Wigan actually stick with a coach as they usually fire them pretty sharp!

That said thing's aren't going anywhere under Noble atm, and its time for a change!
