Any chance we can have a "like" button on posts here a'la facebook?

I agree. However it has oft been mentioned that a number of RL players are unlikely candidates to win Mastermind.

I would say the difference is Noble inherited a good squad of players at Wigan, who had won nothing, but won nothing himself. While Maguire has won nowt yet the improvement overall, & specifically with players like Roberts & Richards, marks him out as a special coach in the making. Noble took on a champion team at Bradford & maintained & developed them.

Indeed he did.

Problem was of course that he did not develop - or retain - the next generation.

I played for an amateur team who, in their day, were a match for most. We never bothered with juniors because we thought it would never end. The club folded about 10 years ago.

Like Sharlston Rovers will.
