Has he been sacked yet?

Yes, 3 days ago, do keep up

Still feel unlikely until the end of the season.

On that you're probably right. Though there is one other factor. As the season progresses, it'll cost progressively less to fire Noble off. And if Wigan lose the next three games, as many are confidently predicting, our season will have effectively ended. That in itself will cost us money.

Can the board tolerate such a thing? Who knows. A desperate kick up the team's backside may be deemed necessary.

Dont know if its been mentioned on this thread or not but theres rumours flying about that were looking to get Justin Morgan at the end of the year

Not sure at all if the rumours about Noble being sacked are correct but I do doubt it.
With his contract being up at the end of the year Ian Lenagan will want some assurance that Noble will be here next year as coach if he is to be involved in signings for next season. If that assurance is not forthcoming then IL has problems.
He won't want BN involved in signings at all and therefore the new coach will have to be appointed (officially or otherwise) in the near future. New signings are usually made in the June - Sept period. So some movement will be needed on the coaching front and soon.
I have always doubted Noble will be with us in the 2010 season and the reason would be down to him more than the club.
I thought Tony Smith would (Should) have been sacked after the World Cup shambles, Noble has to be fav to take that job!
If Noble doesn't not commit himself to staying very soon then IL has no alternative but to look for a replacement.
We could have a large slice of salary cap money available for new players for next year and signing the right players is more important than ever.
It's surely not a matter of if but when BN goes.
In spite of all the criticism I would like him to stay and win something here. He was pivotal is saving us from relegation and it would be excellent for the club and Noble if he could win a trophy.

Unless he has a set fee built into his contract for dismissial.

I think Nobby will be sacked eventually, it all depends how the team go in the next few matches i think!

To my knowledge the "Dorahay thing" has yet to be confirmed. Perhaps you would like to officially confirm this?

Frankly, I don't give a monkeys how wrong, right or indifferent a coach is.

If the players have a problem, it should be communicated via the captain to the management.

To do anything else is childish and pathetic.

Thank God no people like you were around in any conflicts we have had in the last 100 years.

Though frankly if you were, then we had firing squads to stop you from causing the deaths of many more people.

I have a DVD with Edwards talking about it! It's an amazing interview. I am sure I can't be the only one with a copy so perhaps someone else will confirm it on here?



You are Douglas Haig and I claim my £5.

I have been told this morning that Noble hasn't been at training since Tuesday! This came from a 1st team player.

Three possible explanations?

Yet another rumour

I don't normally post them tbh, but with everything thats been on here and then being told this today, well.....................

But I accept he could have man flu

Yea, man flu would keep him away!! Be interesting to know when his latest interview on the website was recorded then.

Or how he selected the team yesterday.

Could it be that the first team squad may b taking the p*ss with us on here.
All it takes is a few words last weekend from a couple of the lads and BANG....it's straight on here!!!!

If hes got man flu the lad could be out weeks.. hope hes ok

any hints as to how he has arranged the deckchairs?
