| Quote DaveO="DaveO"Excecpt of source there would not be any embarrassment and there would be no such far fetched interview. If It would go soething like this:
IL: Wigan RL and Brian Noble have decided to part ways at the end of this season. Brian will have fulfilled his contract and we wish him best of luck. We will appoint Shaun Wane Caretaker coach if needs be until we make a permanent appointment as we don't want to rush into anything and do want to make sure we have the right man for the job. A number of candidates are under consideration and when we have appointed the successful candidate an announcement will be made.
And that would be that. Quite straightforward and covers all the bases but just for fun lets suppose we had a really dim witted interviewer who went on to ask your questions:
Journo: Okay, Mr. Chairman. So who will be the next coach of Wigan RL?
IL: As I have just told you we have a number of candidates under consideration and the successful candidate will be announced in due course.
Journo: But you have someone lined up?
IL: Are you deaf? A number of candidates are under consideration and when we have appointed the successful candidate an announcement will be made.
Journo: So bascially you've sacked the coach without having anyone to replace him?
IL: You really are deaf. Or thick? For a start he hasn't been sacked, he will see his contract out and as I have just told you we have a number of candidates under consideration and the successful candidate will be announced in due course. If needs be Shaun Wane will take over as caretaker until we get the right man for job.
Journo: At the same time announcing that Wigan RL has no coach for the 2010 season?
IL: <sigh> As I said Shaun Wane would be caretaker coach until we make appoint a permanent appointment.
Journo: But at this moment in time you don't have?
IL: If Shaun Wane evaporates in a puff of smoke you might have a point (IL mutters to Mick Hogan - where did you find this idiot?)
Journo: Which looks a tad unprofessional?
IL: I guess you failing to understand plain English is a tad unprofessional for a journalist.
Journo: In the light of that, don't you think it was a bit early to make any kind of announcement?
IL: In the light of what? You being thick?
and one from me:
Journo: So why not let Noble leave now if Shaun Wane is considered a capable caretaker? The team is playing poorly, Noble clearly can't motivate the side and he speaks about cabbages far too much.
IL: That is the only sensible question you have asked.
Dave'"
And there was me thinking you didn't rate him. |

I can't believe Mathers made this rumour up.
Then Higham confirmed it!
Bloody Hell!

At this point I'd like to state that I had no part in it and if it is a rumour, I was sucked in to.
Saying this I had a text from a pal of mine, who doesn't use this forum, Saying that a first team player had told him Nobby had been sacked. If it is a joke, then it appears it's coming from the club and not from people on here. |

The players have probably had a bet about how quickly they could get a rumour on here. And it took about 3 minutes for someone to post.  |

Maybe it was lost in translation, Noble may have said his contract was not being renewed and as word spread it became sacked.
Either way my week took a turn for the worse when i saw no confirmation of this today, i can just about live with him till the end of the season...just about, but any more than that i will be totally gutted. |

How about we try and get Gus Gould out of retirement? The man commands respect and I'm sure he could give our club the kick up the backside it needs! Not sure he'll want to though...

You have to be kidding????
Gus Gould has a great history over in Aus but he has an even bigger history of despising all things UK RL, absolutley hates everything and doesn't rate our game at all. |

| Quote 21-12="21-12"My lips are sealed, but me thinks there is an announcement on its way VERY soon.'"
This was the first post on this rumour (Wednesday at 1.13pm),
Soon followed by:
Quote 21-12="{Hogan}"Noble has gone. Await more info on here.'"
then:
Quote 21-12="ABP'":lol:
And I'm there being sworn to secrecy...'"
Or Even:
Quote 21-12="Boris"He was sacked yesterday evening.'"
Can I ask where did you get it from? Surely it's not that hard to trace these back?
Looks like JonH was right with his suspicions though!
Quote 21-12="jonh"So are we saying Noble has actually gone or are you in fact leading me up a path that will ultimately lead to a massive disapointment when he is sat in the stands calling the shots for us at Hull KR?!'" |
