Its obvious whos going to win this poll as alot of people had lost patience with Noble as they expect Wigan to be in finals and winning trophys.

Of course MM and Wane have talked the talk now and i must admit what they say sounds great but the proof will be in the pudding.

I voted Noble simply because i felt we was on the verge of something good very soon and we didnt need to take the risk of appointing 2 untried coaches to replace somebody who has proven himself.

We will see next year.

Obviously we wil see next year, but if the chairman has to decide now lets put our nadgers on the block and not criticise with hindsight. Anyone can do that. You voted Noble I didnt time will tell but lets get peoples views before the events unfold.

It's ridiculous because your asking people to choose their preference between a coach that has had 3.5 years at Wigan and a coach who hasn't even set foot in the country yet.



You've had mine. It is that nobody can make any form of rational decision at this stage. Maguire could transform us into GF and CC winners next year, or he could be back in Aus inside 12 months with a P45 in his ar5e pocket.



Because we are fans on a forum and we are not the owners of the club, we are also not privvy to the discussions which have taken place between Noble and IL, nor are we aware of the research into Maguire which IL conducted or the results he was given. Furthermore, we have no idea whether IL is confident that Noble could not have done any more and Maguire's the right man or if he wakes up in the night in a cold sweat thinking 'oh god, i hope i'm right'.

In short, only IL has all the right data to make an informed dedcision, we don't.

Agreed...

what about next year

Just out of simple curiosity, what was your view when the 1985/1986 drew to a close and it was announced we were getting shut of Colin Clarke and Alan McInnes and brining in Graham Lowe? Would you have voted the same way had a similar poll been available?
