Ok ..there are many divided opinions..on should we keep faith with Noble...Or would we be happy to see him leave and be replaced?...yes I know the question is who?..maybe Wane who is doing a great job with the younger players (maybe temp until a more experienced coach become available?)... a few have been suggested..your thoughts please.

You need to ask if there is anyone better available. We have gone through the change the coach whenever the wind changes direction and look where it got us. We should let it run till August and see where we are then as Noble is off contract at the end of the season it is then that I.L. needs to assess the situation and decide if he wants to renew his contract or find a replacement we should not panic as we have done in the past.

When there are coaches like Folks and Murray available yes! Add to that Brian Smith is available at the end of the year it becomes a big yes!

Had Noble left us at the end of last season i think he could have been looked upon as doing a solid if unspectacullar job at Wigan, I fear this is a season too far and could have ramifications on his future ability to get a job.

I would be shocked if IL was not already looking to see who is available for the 2010 season, potentially earlier. We will have a good budget to spend in the build up to 2010, so a new target needs to be all but in place asap in order to ensure we get the players he wants.

Only 15 votes when writing this but still a hefty majoirity in favour of keeping Brian Noble.
The last thing I think this club needs is to get back onto the coaching roundabout which, no surprise, only took us in circles ending up where we started.
Noble & IL should be allowed to build the squad and bring in the players we desperately need.
All this talk about signing Gleeson, obviously I don't know anything.
What I do know very clearly is that we are being linked with signing the best British centre in the game. That's the calibre of player we should now be looking at. I'm very pleased with those rumours for that reason.
We must have in the region of 33-40% of our salary cap OOC end of this year. Plenty capacity for bringing in quality players.
If Gleeson is the calibre we're looking at then IL & BN should be allowed to get on with the job, uninterupted and with our full support!

i would vote for a 3rd choice .... ............. stay till the end of the season then replace him

Replace

Well Noble wasn't available and we got him, so no you don't.



Surely the pertinent question is after just about 3 years in charge where has Noble got us? You did read that post from Wigan/Leeds/Andy that proved under Noble we have gone backwards didn't you?

Changing a coach after three years is not changing a coach whenever the wind changes. It is nothing like that. After three years any coach who has done what Noble has done to Wigan should not expect to get a new contract and no one should be wringing their hands Wigan are sacking another coach as if this one would be some repeat performance of a Mo or DW knee jerk reaction. He has had ample opportunity to improve the side and currently as we stand today he has failed to do so.

There seems to be a notion that stability is more important than what the coach actually achieves. Given how we laughed at Wire as they kept Cullen on for years and did nothing I can not understand why some people want us to follow suit with Noble because that is exactly what we are doing.



So what do you think he should be judged on? The games between now and August or his complete record here at Wigan? If he does just about OK between now and August is that good enough for him to keep his job given the dross his team has served up over the last two seasons and the start of this?

I would say he has already under achieved to a sufficient degree that he should be out of a job by the end of the season (and if we carry on as we are before then) even if we win the Cup as that would be a fluke!

Dave

he is usless no tactics and nothing seems to be working, should walk away like culen did at warrington.

honestly dont care who we get as long as its not milward or that fat git from salford

To be honest I think if we replace him it ill be at the end of the season....so replace him would cover that....I just thought it was time we had a poll as opinions are split...For me I think he may well go at the end of the season...the only way he may go sooner is if Barrow beat us (unlikely..but not impossible).
