Either way, it doesn't promise a great deal. Personally, I feel Noble should now make his decision. Continuing to dangle people along is starting to cloud his otherwise untarnished reputation.
I agree, the fans of both clubs deserve a decision and quickly.

Lindsay is now sweating that if Noble does not come to Wigan people will know that it is his fault.
How is it Mo's fault? The only reason Noble is considering this is because Bradford chief exec has upset him to the extent he has considered leaving.
Mo has made the offer to Noble and it is now up to him to decide if he wants to come or not. We also can't blame Bardford (or Mo!) if Bradford move heaven and earth to keep him at Odsal.
It is out of Mo's hands now.
If Mo can be criticised for anything in this it is for building our hopes up last week talking as if it was a done deal. He has cooled down his comments markedly since then, no doubt because he realised Noble was not just going to say yes at the drop of a hat.
But to say its Mo's fault if he does not come is daft. It isn't something Mo can influence anymore.

Like I said Lindsays reputation goes before him and it is a factor for Noble that Lindsay is in charge (can he work with him)
Graham Lowe would be the man for me too, but surely there are questions about his health and his age. Is he even in the game at present?
Someone told me he was quoted in a paper recently as saying he'd get on the next plane if Wigan called him, but I haven't heard him mentioned in years, and if that means he's been in retirement, then I feel we should be very wary.

Noble has obviously given the position a lot of consideration whatever he decides. If you are saying Mo being here is a factor in people not coming, fair enough.
However the only club and board who are looking stupid in the media at the moment is Bradford's. They have got directors publicly disagreeing with their chief exec.
Mo for all his faults has negotiated many a deal in the past and will have given it his best shot.

As far as I'm aware, he's been out of coaching for about 10 years.
