Didn't know he had a business. All depends on his aspirations then.
At the moment anyone would do TBH.

| Quote Pemps="Pemps"I've never really felt that strongly about getting shut of noble midseason but i'm getting to the point where i think there could only be one solution. Yes the players perhaps aren't as good as we think but he's the man who's signed them all. The problem is, who would we get to take over for half a season as i'm sure that's all it would be. I do think we have someone in place for next year.'"
Will get us to Wembley.
Whether we'll win it, well thats up to the players!

What sort of business does he run ?????
I keep thinking about Shaun possibly not wanting to take over for half a season and all this talk of him having to give up his business.
But is it the sort of business that someone could run for him ??? (e.g a shop or something)
If it is, why not make him an offer that includes paying someone to run his business until the end of the year ???
That way, he could try the full-time coaching gig, most likely improve our team no end from what we're currently seeing/suffering and still have the option to either apply for the full-time position after the season, or step back to running his business and coaching the kids.
It all makes sense to me.
Am I missing something, or just being far too sensible for the game of Rugby League ???

It's something to do with forklifts and possibly warehouse equipment.

| There you go then.
Make him an offer that includes employing someone to run the business for 6 months.
What's the problem ????

You'll have to speak to Shaun about that.
I do find it amusing that we're planning out a fellas future who we don't even know.

I'm pretty sure Shaun would only agree to something like this if there was a chance he could do the job full-time. And suppose Wigan have already lined someone up for next season - what then?

| Quote Catalancs="Catalancs"Honestly think last night's result has done for Noble in many fans minds.
Have to admit I was unsure whether we should offer him a new contract or not, but now I'm 100% no.
Sorry Brian but time's up.'"
Go along with that, before I felt give him to the end of the season, I was wrong, now I just want him to go.

| Its pointless to speculate about Wane, if he doesnt want to leave his business, he wont, not for the crock of garbage IL has cobbled together on the cheap anyway.
Realistically, who is out there:
Lam
Raper
Murray
Hanley

| And if we get a coach in for half a year and tell him "you won't be here next year" how is that going to motivate him to prove his worth. He'll just be a stop gap and know that no matter how well he gets the team performing it will all be for nothing, so why bother.
I've always said you should judge a team and a coach by how they finish and what they win. We're in the semi final of the challenge cup, (better than last year) and still in with a chance of play offs (ok, only because the play offs have been increased to 8. Maybe the RFL knew what we'd be like and conspired to still keep us in it! hahaha)
But this season I'm changing my mind. I can't remember ever having to walk away from a game and check my fixture list to see how long it would be before we could scrape a win and it be in a months time if we're lucky. The only game you'd look at and think "Yeah we'll definitely have a win there" was Celtic and look what happened there! We're too inconsistent and even if we had another good play off run to get to the semi final again, I don't think it would save Noble.
It's alright saying that he gets his teams hitting the straps at the business end of the season, but it makes it too hard to be serious contenders, and is really disheartening going watching a team that seems like its going through the motions half the time.

That is the culture that Noble has instilled in the club. It is ok to dish up garbage for most of the season "because the league is won in October". Seems like the players have taken it literally, there seems to be absolutely no motivation until we get to the playoffs.
That's why we've lost 2,000 casual fans, people won't pay to watch rubbish. The sooner he goes, the sooner we start getting our club in order.
