This excuse is getting tattered round the edges.
IL and BN are both responsible for signings. Wigan don't recruit unless the head coach okays it. BN was more than happy with both Riddell and Roberts.

Will Celtic announce BN before Wigan?
If so expect Wigan to follow shortly after with news on his replacement withheld.

That's the one. I remember him telling me in Oz Riddell was his second choice but couldn't remember the name of his first. Thanks for that, been bugging me for months

Fielding six players who shouldn't even have been in the country.

| First time I've seen anything in the Aussie press linking us with McGuire so either they've picked the story up from over here or they've heard it through there own grapevine.

Interesting that it says "close to signing" rather than 'in talks', 'rumoured to be' or something similar. Suggests to me that they know something.

It seems that way doesn't it.
Hopefully the guy can come in and sprinkle abit of the Melbourne magic on us. They've built a side around their homegrown players and shrewd signings and thats what we need to do here.

That's very true, the Melbourne model of team building would suit are club down to a tee. We have the youngsters we always have, what's let us down in the past have been are overseas signings that were brought in for experience and leadership, get that part of are recruitment right and we'll be on to a winning formula.

| The early front-runner, Melbourne Storm No2 Michael McGuire, has dropped out of contention because his lack of first grade coaching experience would make it difficult for him to get a visa.
From the Express....who do you believe

That report also mentions that Shaun Wane has thrown his hat into the ring.
That wouldn't suprise me.

As Rouges has previously mentioned, it may not be a problem as a number of Current head coach's in SL have no international experience.
I would be delighted if this were to come off.
we will have to wait and see i suppose

I don't think there would be a problem with players taking the micky out of the coach if that was the case

I hope, if McGuire signs, that doesn't mean that Waney leaves. He is so highly thought of at Wigan. It would be a crying shame to see him take that skill elsewhere.

I think the point he was trying to make was that IL could come out and say "Brian is going, the new coach will be announced in due course" and you said that would be daft. Having seen Celtic do it, imo it seems logical.

But he is immune as he cheer section on here will tell you. The FF's are an exercise in ego, no more.
FWIW re signings, its a joint effort, I dont know why any chairman would just buy some players and tell a coach to coach, just as that didnt happen with maurice either.

Hey, all our positions on these things are well known. I don't want to get into it again - causes ill feeling after a while. But if someone calls me out, I have to respond and if possible - and it was in this case - make him look an even bigger plonker.

That is exactly the point. They announced their coach was leaving and a new one would be announced in due course before their last game. So all those saying you can't announce Noble is going without saying who his successor would be need to take note - including IL .

Celtic fans arn't wigan fans though.
If IL has nothing positive to announce then he will get beat down with it.
"Bloody hell, how can he not already know who the next coach is"
"we want Dave back" and so on.

But given the fact everyone is convinced Noble is going yet there is no announcement people are speculating that he doesn't know who the new coach is anyway. He is getting "beat down" already because of the way he has handled this issue so far.
If he had said Noble was leaving and a new coach would be appointed in due course would [iyou[/i have complained? I wouldn't. As well as putting Noble in the picture officially which is what he deserves, it would have killed off the uncertainty that Noble might actually have been given a new deal which a lot of fans do not want. So even if we all think he is not going to be here in 2010 until it is announced he won't be, there is a nagging doubt he will get a deal at the 11th hour.
Quote "we want Dave back" and so on.'"
No one wants him back.
