| Quote: jaxx "I honestly cant see Lenagan sacking Noble, I dont think he would pay out almost a full seasons wages to compensate him and then have to pay someone else instead. There is no relegation so all we have to lose is face. If the fans seriously started dropping off then he may consider it. I did notice at the Cas game that for the first time ever that I can recall the hospitality boxes were not sold out ,'"
I believe you to be correct, noble will stay to end of the year IMO
IL is not a sacking coach, he will not pay up his contract and he publicly backed him after the Cas game, although that may not mean nothing in this day of age.
The hospitality boxes were not sold out - correct (very sad indeed)

Neither is our pitchside advertising. Sign of the economic climate rather than Brian Noble.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| I want him to be succesful at Wigan and make us a big force but I just cannot see it.
I feel he has brought us as far as he can.
I dont think IL will want to pay him off though, I just cannot see him being sacked.

| Quote: Pie Eyed "I'm sorry, but having been one of Nobby's biggest fans when he joined us (hence the shirts sporting "Nobby Nuts" for 2 years), I have lost all confidence in his coaching ability.
We have a collection of individuals who, on paper, should be looking at a top 3 spot.
However, he has completely failed to make them work as a team (which is his single biggest job function IMO)
Added to that, we are playing the worst brand of rugby that I have ever seen from a Wigan side.
At least when we were losing every week under Millward, we were playing some entertaining rugby, and this was reflected by us fans having a laugh and a party on the terraces of every club at which we got spanked.
Leeds away (70-0) was both the most depressing at a result level, but also the most fun atmosphere I've ever witnessed as a fan.
We wound up having a laugh, never stopped singing, whatever.
Basically, with Nobby in charge, there is absolutely NOTHING to get excited about.
We knew from his Bradford days that he played a fairly dour, although effective, game-plan.
He stuck would-be props on the wing and let them run riot.
At Wigan, he is trying to play the same game with players of half the size, which leads to the wingers playing in the prop position half the time, just to get a sniff of the ball.
To be frank, if we lose to London this week and play as poorly as we have been for the last 3 matches, and then get fed the same feeble excuses and lines about "improvements" and how we were "out-enthused", he needs to go.
Don't ask me "who would you put in charge then?" because TBH, I have no idea. I can't lift my head for long enough to think straight about Wigan right now - I just find the whole subject of my favourite team too ****ing depressing to think about.
Attending the matches has become a chore if I'm honest, and if my 5-year-old daughter wasn't as keen as she is, I could even see myself drifting away to do other things with my Friday night or Saturday/Sunday afternoon.
That though frightens me a bit, because I have NEVER felt that way, even with Millward, Hughes or Goodway in charge.
Sad to say, it wouldn't bother me if Nobby went today and we had a caretaker coach for the entire season, until somebody became available.
Because TBF, we couldn't do any worse, and we might actually get entertained occasionally.'" Great post sir .I feel the same about every point you make , i was also at the leeds game stayed to the end singing and laughing and the saints game the week after.

Please don't say you mean Paul Cullen and Phil Clarke.

36121_1270460193.jpg Conroy - Being a Latics fan i'm already immune to watching sh*te.
Sally Cinnamon - Treat the Saints forum as you would if you met a girl from St Helens. Best policy would be to avoid altogether but if you absolutely can't resist temptation then take every possible precaution.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_36121.jpg |

| Quote: Bolton_Warrior "I would say the Bradford game.
The game at Quins on Saturday was always going to be a tough game and it would not be a disgrace to lose down there as I am sure some other big names may lose there as well.
Whilst Bradford at home would not be easy either losing that as well as the Quins game (if we did) would represent 5 defeats on the trot, of which 3 of them are at home. At that point I just can't see anything other than Noble getting sacked.'"
I basically agree with all this and went for the 5th game. However if we were to get hammered at Harlequins then I think his position would become untenable following that.

| A narrow loss and you can see him still staying. A hammering though could be a different story

| Re; the OP, I cannot see this squad being top 3 anywhere but on paper.
No proper full back, no proper stand off, only one decent prop, overloaded with mediocre 2nd row forwards.
No balance, full of aussies on pension schemes who don't give a bugger about Wigan and what it means.
Mid table at best.
Go on, win the GF and make me eat my words!

| I think he should go after a loss to the Quins. Then it will be 4 losses against 4 average teams.

| I think IL will back him. IL is the one who has provided us with an unbalanced squad.
