AJ fair enough you know best, your mind is made up and you are happy. Surprised you have resorted to name calling as a poster i normally respect but fair enough, its your opinion.


The fact you seem to be judging the next coaches achievements before he has even been named does make you think that your opinion is still and always will be in the pro Noble camp despite the evidence.

I have said for a while now there were two half's to the coaching situation at Wigan. The first was Noble not being coach in 2010. That alone was important in itself IMO for all the reasons done to death on this message board.

He's gone so I am happy about that.

Does this mean come Wednesday the new coach is bound to get unequivocal endorsement from me just because he isn't Nobby? Nope because that is another issue but I firmly believe Nobby had to go.

I am sure there will be posts similar to another of yours saying something along the lines of "what if we don't make the semis next year will the new coach have failed" but aren't such posts a but glib?

I am also sure I am not alone in thinking we have a poorly conditioned team and that this is something Nobby failed to address but I am not naive enough to think it can sorted out in one off season. It will take some time and so just like Nobby the new coach will be judged on whether or not he delivers steady progress. Nobby didn't do this and the semi's mask the fact he didn't.

The new coach, whoever he is, will get the same leeway Nobby did. When 2007 was a big disappointment after the way we finished 2006 Nobby got the benefit of the doubt. What it boils down to is the new coach starts with a clean slate just as Nobby did whoever it is.

Lets wait and see, you seem to hold a semi appearance as some form of success.

Hull
Wakefield
Catalans
Warrington

have had semi appearances while BN has been coach do not see too many of them claiming to have awesome seasons.

For someone that i have often had good debates with without any issue I have to say i am surprised you have resorted to name calling.

Lets speculate on the new man when he is named and judge him once he has had a crack at the job.

Noble is a great guy and i honestly felt sorry for him as he walked of to the dressing rooms but he hasnt progressed our team, the results over three years prove that so IL was correct by replacing him.

IL is no Mo.


I fear for our club under his stewardship.


Worst chairman in 20 years.

You may well be right, and I 'feel' that you are right.

With Mo, we knew he loved Wigan RLFC.

Folk can say what they like about Maurice Lyndsey, but he was/is, Wigan RL, through and through.

...because Noble isn't being replaced by Shaun Wane

Says who?

Wait & see.

Some posters on here know my link into the club, but I hope you understand that I won't reveal it.

Fair enough. I'm assuming it's who everyone is expecting though?

My original post stating McGuire as Coach and Wane as his assistant is somewhere earlier in this merged thread (page 1 I think)

Noble v Lengan. Oh dear, see timesonline.typepad.com/rugby_le ... again.html

I disagree, Ian.

Sounds like there was a bit of friction there all right. Got to agree that this squad simply isn't good enough at the moment...
