Hi all I have created this topic after recent events because my heart seems to want to rule my head..

It is obvious Mr Lenegan is not going to renew Mr NObles contract after this year, if results don't go our way in either the challenge cup or the superleague.

I think it is pretty obvious that the team is not fully supportive of how things are going, but I am a great believer in negativity breads negativity. So I think for the rest of the season we should leave all the "noble out" negativity until the end of the season and start backing the team and hoping that the last ten games and the semi final give us something to shout about.. I think Mr lenegan is well aware of the feeling amoungst the fans about the inconsistent nature of our results and by approaching other coaches is prepared to sacrifice noble next year if results this year don't go our way.

I just feel that no one is going to be sacked this season (apart from hock) and if we don't unite as one and create a positive attitude then things are going to get worse rather than better.. Brian for the last three years has got our side competing for honour at the end of the season and although I expect noble to go... lets get behind the team and lets stop this negativity and start looking forward to the future whether ultimately its with or without noble..

Come on Wigan, I love this club... the last things I want to happen is all this negativity means we go into the challenge cup tie again Warrington with such a downbeat attitude, because I hate them Warrington b*stards and there is no way they are getting to Wembley by beating us!!

COme on WIGAN, WE are the f*cking warriors and no f*cker is going to stop us!!!

Had a beer?

Sorry Steve.......

NO !!!!!

I will back the team whole-heartedly, but I've had it with Noble's lack of tactics and ideas.

Yeah.. feeling it this morning

I have a feeling this morning.

I think we will turn in a barnstorming performance tomorrow and everybody on this board will be saying how good we are and how we are going to win things.

I appreciate the drunkeness of the post but certainly yes I do think the fans should get behind him untill the end of the year.

Unless we lose the next three, playing rubbish rugby...............

Now that really is the sort of 'divorced from reality' post that I'd associate with someone who's had a few beers.

One lives in hope.

After all, being a Wigan fan we have managed to develop the traits of an eternal optomist

at the end of the day, the rugby club is a business and if the customers arent happy - and IL reads the forums to know that we are generally disgruntled - the coach will go. i think Noble is a nice enough guy on TV and he probably does try wholeheartedly but to actually pay and watch the shower of sh&&te we are watching at the moment is ridiculous. He must be seriously flawed when it comes to getting the best of his players. I am not sticking up for the players here as they have to be susceptible but when you are considered to be at the sharp end of your preofession you have got there because of some sort of skill. It is then up to what you get out of them that sets them apart and thats what proves Noble is not up to the task

like every other week

I agree with you tbh.

he is a dead man walking as they say.
We know it
The players know it
He knows it.
The hardest job in the game is, under those circumstances - impossible.

IL has been trying to get a new coach so even if he had a heavy night on the scrumpy (nothing works like scrumpy) and gave him a new contract everyone would know it was his second best option.

He should simply have been told it would not be renewed then he could have said he was going at the end of the season regardless. Everyone would have known where they stood and no one would have been left looking like they have backed down or lost face.

And you should know !!!!!!!!!!

i might have to take two or three jugs tomorrow just for medicinal reasons.
It numbs the pain of watching us

its time to get behind the team no matter who is in charge

Ah, cutting back, is it the credit crunch ?or the Gin and tonic shortage ?


p.s. are we calling at George Fairbairns pub t'morrow ?

Yep. Should all have been resolved by now. Even if we won the CC I dont see how he can stay with all that has gone on. It just hasnt worked out for some reason.

That being said, we are all in agreement that we are missing a decent halfback - we havent got one - and a world class prop - we havent got one - it would be interesting to see what Noble could have done with that. Not that I expect the new coach to have those either

I chuckled when I first read that bit. I thought, yeah no one's gonna stop us until we play our next game but fair play to you. I get the spirit of your post.

I think it's time for us all to dig in and get behind the Ancient & Loyal badge ala 2006. Yes, the team is flawed, so is the coach and probably the administration too but it's the Wigan name we follow. It's upto us the supporters to represent the club with passion and commitment during these difficult times. Get some steel back in yer bollox and hold your heads up high. We are the greatest club in the world.

Wigan Ultras

Nobby will be out the door if we lose tomorrow.

C'mon Rovers!

If Celtic didn't manage it, why would KR?

Ultimatum, perhaps

Dave

There is part of me that thinks if we win the semi final then noble will get a new contract.

Lets face it, if he takes the side to wembley it will be difficult for the club to turn him away.

The only hope for the noble haters is if Noble will be gone before the semi.

We have one hell of a tough month coming up.

KR AWAY,
Quins Home
Catalan Home
Bulls away
Leeds home
Saints away

All before the wire semi.

I can see us winning our next 3 and hence he will survive. I have to admit though there is part of me hopes that we dont. How bad has it become for me and im sure many others to think like that
