Can we all at least now agree that IL was right to not renew Brian Noble's contract and that we have indeed progressed compared to last season with our new coach Michael Maguire?

BRING ON OT!

Oh come on it was obvious 6 months ago it was the right decision

YES

Indeed it was (to most of us). However there were a few posters on here who stated that only a place in a final would justify the change in head coach, just looking for confirmation.........

Hmmm.................



................Ummmm...................



...............Let me see............


Can i get back to you on that???

Read above.

I am made up with the way this season has gone and think the appointment of Madge and not forgetting his sidekick Shaun Wane is a master stroke . you can't start slagging Nobby off though lets face it he didn't do a bad job really did he ? saved from a possible relegation and then play off semis is not bad going and what you have got to remember the side now is more or lees the side that Nobby left behind + deacon . yes madge and Wane may have given them that extra cutting edge they need but the Team are another year older and mature too .lets hope Wigan can go that step further at OT next week . COME ON WIGAN

we're going to.....

Oh i ignore them (no offence intended

)

To be fair, there weren't too many on here who totally lambasted Noble. I had major problems with him in the end, but I think most of us reckoned that he'd started very well and had done a fairly good job most of the way, but that we needed to go up to the next level, which was something he didn't seem able to deliver.

In contrast, there were one or two who seemed determined to be unimpressed by Michael Maguire from the moment he arrived. This seemed to owe more to an irrational dislike of IL than anything based on factual analysis of Maguire's credentials.

I understand that outspoken characters like IL can polarise views, but I suspect one or two formerly regular posters on this forum are feeling a bit stupid at this moment.

Eddie and Stevo have presumably forgotten the poop they tried to stir at the end of last season, when Nobby's contract was not renewed.

Anyone who didnt agree that it was the right decision before last nights match is a complete tool.
