Time to Decide I.L

[BIG AL]

I think it's about time all the dithering and speculation about Brian Nobles future was sorted out.The majority of the voices on this site seem to want him out,but who is the replacement I think IL needes to get it sorted A S A P.I imagine it would have been easy if we had lost in the challenge cup but we didn't and we are now in the semi's which are 9 week of.If IL leaves it till then its quite late in the season and i would think his options of who he brings in start to get limited.with all the big names with experiance both hear and in Australia all ready tied up on contracts.Therefore would an inexperianced first team coach be our only choice , and is that what the fans want.(I could see crys of we want a new coach by easter).I would also imagine that Brian Noble isn't sitting on his hands over this.I know if it was looking like I was loosing my job in 4 months time i would be making enquires elswear,and i have no doubts Brian Nodles agent is already doing this in which case IL is then rushed into a decision

i want him gone.

but i agree: its time for clarification. surely it can't be good for all involved;
overall club
players
board and IL
Fans

[FROM A TO B]

Oh good, just what we need, another get rid of Noble thread.
These have been sorely missed from this site, so glad someone has resurrected.
Gone are those happy days of didn't we play well threads.
Still at least we can look forward to all the lovely happy posts when Nobby names the squad for Friday

A)we're all entitled to our opinions
B ) were's the suggestion is a get rid of noble thread? We're simply debating the effect the speculation has on the club and its stakeholders.

Plank.

Lets hope Lenihan has been talking to prospective coaches, as well as players in Australia, if Noble is to depart Wigan. Either that or maybe Shaun Wayne as peplacement.

Go on then, make it public and we will see if your sources are correct in due course.

He's out when his contract concludes Dave.

A few weeks ago the option deadline for the club to extend passed and despite Noble trying to manipulate the media, Wigan did not bite. Every rumour linking Noble to this job and that from the Bulls link onwards was instigated by Noble.

[cpwigan]

Sean Long was told last Thursday during discussions about possibly moving to Wigan that Noble would not be the coach at Wigan in 2010.

I am led to believe that Sam Tomkins has signed a new contract / contract extension but it has not been announced yet.
