What a joke! The anti IL band waggon on here of Brett Kenny, AJ and RHJ is laughable at best and bordering on a fixation with the guy.
If IL and Mick Hogan are Reading this please don't judge us or lump us all in the same boat as these clowns.
The majority of fans on here can see the excellent work that's being done at the club and the STRIDES we've made forward.
Keep up the good work

I dont, the post I was responding to, said "what has changed on the field"? From 2007 till 2009.
Barrett leaving. now if I am not mistaken Barrett hasnt played for us this year which by definition means he is not here. I never said I blamed IL. Catch up kid.

What about off the field then? Average attendance in 2007 was significantly more than 2009, then there's the Hock thing, the whole debale last year after the Hudds match and now "IL vs Noble".

Not heard of that global recession thing going on have you? Or is that lenegans fault as well?
As for the hock thing, we're all still waiting for the statement, but the situation can't be blamed on IL. Finding out whats going to happen to Hock in a year or two isn't that pressing.

You really think that's the only reason our attendance has gone down almost 2,500 since 2007?

No, i would put it down to the awful performances on the pitch, IL has taken the correct action by sacking Nobby.

As regards to the Higham situation I know a bloke who used to sit next to Highams Dad at the home games and Wigan offered him a contract and a good one at that but Warrington offered more money and he said " Its my last contract I have to provide for my family".
So don't blame IL as we did offer hijm a good deal similar to what he was already on.'"
I spoke to Mickey on a personal level about it and he wasnt even spoken to about a contaract. He went to wire on £35k a year but said he would have stayed at Wigan for less.

I thought the correct time was earlier in the season when half of this site wanted Noble to be sacked?

35k a year? Come off it he could have got a lot more than that at Barrow and worked part time.

I can't believe people are still talking about Mickey Higham.
For God's sake, it was ages ago!
But even if it hadn't been, if letting Higham go is the only thing people have got to complain about re. IL, then it's hardly a major problem. Higham was a willing lad, but he certainly wasn't worth all this spilled blood. Losing Barrett was a much bigger issue, and Barrett's main gripe at Wigan was with Noble.

Losing Barrett has been massive for us, if we had Trent we would have won last night, we currently don't have the world class player to win us those kind of games.
I hope that, mixed in with the team we have and team we have to come, there will still be one or two Barrett's as Wigan is still an attraction and has a history with top quality imports, we need those world class stars to go with "our lot" otherwise we might not be able to attain the success we strive for.
Leeds and Saints for all IL likes to compare, are examples of that as well.
Regarding his gripe - I thought he went home because of family issues?

So AJ and RHJ, were either of you on the bandwagon that said I was wrong to criticise IL over the way he handled that one? I can't remember but I am curious to know if you were on IL's side over that one because you didn't rate Higham.
Dave'"
To be honest i was not bothered to see Higham go but agreed at the time the way IL did it was wrong.
I have said all along to AJ that i did not like IL. From day one i knew there was something about him.
IMO hes nothing but a surly,obnoxious and sly little man who loves himself. I cannot stand the sight of the man and last night when he walked on the pitch looking up to our end i felt sick.

He did, but he had a couple of mega bust-ups with Noble, who supposedly overruled him when he was trying to 'modernise' some of Wigan's tactics.
I've been informed by someone at the club that Trent and Nobby's relatinship during Trent's second year was not the best.
