Does Nobby think he is the new Jack Gibson?

We have the ludicrous and incorrect putting humpty dumpty back together again and in the post tonight we were aiming a few punches at our grandmother last week but this time around there are relatives in the family who are going to be hitting us back.

He's losing the plot and not just making himself look an idiot but making Wigan a right laughing stock. Can we at least get a more professional speaking coach next time!!

[butt monkey]

Whatever he said (and whatever words he used) - it worked!

[Mr Ed]

I think he may be taking the mick dont you.

[cpwigan]

Unfortunately NO

Reading some of the comments above they give support to the view that putting opinions on blogs only gives license to those who can't speak for themselves any other way. I can't imagine any of the above words would be spoken face to face and in fact they are extraordinarily rude.
No-one listens to rudeness, and nor should they. There is a place for constructive comment and criticism, and here is fair enough. But please, not these unkind words about a thoroughly decent and honorable man who has worked hard for our great club and deserves our support and loyalty

Hear, hear!

I like the way Nobby speaks - the essence of what he says makes sense and the way he expresses it shows wit and intelligence.

He's maybe a bit too fond of using metaphors and is sometimes guilty of using "in-house" expressions that the coaching and playing staff are familiar with but the wider world may not understand so readily, but you try doing a live interview on national TV or radio and see how hard it is.

Steve as far as I am concerned the jury is out.

Honorable? Big question mark. Some players treated preferentially and others unfairly. Dean Bell forced out. Jobs for his mates.

Interviews - Trent's latest on the web site was a proper interview. He said what needed to be said and did so concisely. No bull. Trying to be clever is never a good idea.

[cyberpieman]

leave the bloke alone !
he's a top coach (albeit a bit conservative at times) if he gets worms furgled sometimes, when haven't we all?

Those having a go at him should look to their own use of the mother tongue before criticising others (I've given up wincing at "their" for "there" or "theyre", or "your" for "you're" or any combination of any part of the OED chosen at random).

Grammar is not married to Grandad, and syntax don't hold down carpets.

Thank your lucky stars that we haven't got Cullen for coach. I have trouble understanding him on a good day!
