Quote: phibes "All depends on what criteria you use doesn't it? If we win nothing this year, some can say that we might as well as stuck with Noble.
That's only if they hadn't watched a game all year.
The team are transformed beyond recognition in every department. Not only are they physically fitter, stronger and faster. The determination, ethos and mental toughness of the team is also massively improved from last year. I could go on about our new found creativity in attack and defensive organisation/effort but I don't want to labour the point.
We're a better team under the new coach than we were under the old coach.
It was the right decision.

I could not agree more with this statement.
A gamble would have been appointing someone on a wing and a prayer. Maguire came with the highest recommendations, but only then after the club had done masses of due diligence on him. As you say, whatever happens for the remainder of this season, MM has already proved that, in thinking alone, he is streets ahead of what went before.
I really cannot understand how certain Wigan 'fans' still talk as if appointing him was some kind of risk. They're either kidding, they haven't got a clue, or they have another agenda altogether. I wonder which it is?
