Quote ="DaveO"How often do you need to applaud him for saving us from relegation? Talk about living in the past. He did it, it was great and that was step one out of the way to taking us back to the top but there we stopped progressing.
I am not "sad and bitter" I can just recognise Noble for what he is which is a not a particularly good coach who actually did very little while here for us both on and off the pitch. In fact I'd go are far as saying some of his practices such as sticking to his first 17 and ignoring the rest of the squad until forced into playing them was downright damaging. Why applaud that?
Hide form what?

You would of been better going for the hiding option because that was laughable.
Living in the past
last 3 years, why complain that people would like to applaud him as an ex Wigan coach? I disagree we stopped progressing, we have just been inconsistant ever since.
You are sad and bitter, because you will not accept that he is a decent coach who did his best for this club and laid some really good foundations. If we were just talking about results on the field in 2008 and 2009 I would agree with you, but there is a bigger picture. He never ignored the rest of the squad though did he.
I will applaud him in thanks for what he did for the club and for all the effort he put in. You won't.
End of.
