If the players do no want to play for Wigan then they should be shown the door. I'd rather we had a bunch of kids out there with these players who do not want to play sat in the stands.

It's the only way you're going to get a decent coach. All the good ones will not leave a team mid season unless you offer silly money and say take it now or it won't be on offer again. personally i think IL knows he's going to get rid of Noble and will be patient. What's the worst that can happen anyway? You finish bottom and still stay up.

Source? Or is that just intuition?

He should f*ck off right now and leave us with a reasonable chance to earn a respectable place come the end of the season.

Im with you. TBH I think he has had his day, he should go now, and we should bring in someone like Radders and Farrell till the end of the year. Just to instill a little pride into the season.
What I cant work out is why do we always look under cooked against so called lesser sides? i.e Wakey reserves first game of the year, Cas, Barrow away, Catalans cup semi 07, Hull KR when they came up and now these Welsh idiots. I put this down to motivation, coaching and planning.

I have always been a big Fielden fan, but him and Feka personally have been crap all this year. We should promote Davies from the reserves and recall Mossop. Drop Fielden and Feka for the rest of the season and infect Riddell with swine flu, qurantinee him for the rest of the season and then fook him off back too Oz.

If we are to salvage the season we have to act swiftly and quick.

So he'll go straight after the Warrington game.

Many sources have said this not just one.

If Noble stays and we keep playing inconsistent garbage for the rest of the season, I wonder what the season ticket uptake will be next year... 7,500 if we're lucky

So you guys would rather have kept Cullen then, instead of Smith?

Would you have been in a cup semi, had a good run of results recently with Cullen still in charge?

You get the usual 'happy clappers' (there's a few on here). But we'd be lucky to get that..!

The season can still be slavaged but not under Noble!!!

Possibly

Thank you Brian Noble for laying the foundations, especially after Millward ballsed everything up. However, we're ready to move on and I think you should too. Win us the Challenge cup and we'll call it quits.

That's a fair assessment really.

I'm sure any coach in the Lindsay/Robinson era would be sacked now.

I know this has been said before by many but its too easy to blame Nobby. If he were to go now, I don't think he should, which top coach could we get at this stage of the season?? A top notch coach is what we need, not an inexperienced one.
Please, nobody suggest Wane!

I think most people will recognise the importance of Wigans selection of coach after Brian Noble and i agree that it should be somebody with expierience, however it would be very interesting to see who would actually apply for such a postion, its important that whoever is appointed actually wants the job for the right reasons and not just the money.

Personally i believe that the real quality lies in the NRL and that is where we should primarily be looking to select our next coach from, however that is not to say that there are no candidates in Superleague but i certanly cant see any English candidates at present.

I really do think that we missed a trick with not getting Nathan Brown in as coach last season but unsuprisingley Huddersfield were quick to recognise his qualities and i think his appointment has already showed some rewards for them....this was around the time that Brian Noble publically announced that he was interested in the Les Catalan job....but we offered him another year and seen no progress on the pitch and more questinable coaching decisions including recruitment.

Justin Morgan has been mentioned before and he has certanly improved Hull F.C since he joined them, he's young and has some fresh ideas but also has expierience to go with it. The question is would he want to join Wigan?

Justin is doing a great job. There is no way he would come to us right now though, if Nobby were to be sacked, or at all.
I still say Nobby is the man for the job!

My issue with Bian Noble is that he doesnt seem to know how to build a team and there is a huge difference between building a team and walking into a job where the team has already been built, Ian Millward also suffered badly in this area.

Noble still cant seem to decide his starting 13.

Justin Morgan will not come to Wigan. Why would he leave a team on the rise for a team spiralling downwards?

If Noble were to go I know a lot of people want an experienced coach but we want an experienced coach that isn't out of touch with the modern game. By that I mean I don't want Hagan or Murray.

The only coach I would have instead of Noble would be Edwards (Farrell Assisstant), Brian Smith, Wayne Bennett, Des Hasler, Tim Sheens, Craig Bellamy, Phil Gould, Justin Morgan, Nathan Brown. And whoever came I would give the assistant role to Shaun Wane.

I am not convinced by Adrian Lam, he is assistant at Sydney Roosters to Brad Fittler who himself is really struggling and learning and failing so not the best apprenticeship to serve for Lam. Like someone said earlier maybe taking a chance on a coach who had worked under Bennett or Smith.

but TS was available whereas there are no world class coaches available at the moment, you'll have to wait till the end of the season or get a temporary coach neither of which will benefit Wigan greatly, sticking with noble would be better than bringing someone in at this point in the season.

With TS it was right at the beginning of the season, so not a major overall really.

People who talk of Noble leaving simple you want this club to become worst!

Yes I see your point, fresh coach, freash ideas, freash start, how many times do we try this, before it clicks it doesn't work?

Take the words of an ex-players autobiography

" Coaches arrived, each with a two or three plan, but they didn't get the full time to excerise the plan, I had eleven coaches in 13 years, which is a crazy number. The cutlure of the club eroded - and it was not one coach's fault. It was a graudal and inexplicable shift, from the Wigan I joined to the Wigan I left. "

Remove the inconsistency within this squad and it'll improve by far, stick with him, 12month deal, to work with the new props and half.

Hi Brian. Errrrr No.

At least point out why not. Don't do the easy thing and just say no, explain your reasons please?
