what about giving ian millward another go my mate stu says he was the best coach wigan ever had
would it not be easier to keep noble and play one of our academy teams for a week or two just to show the 'stars' how you tackle and catch the ball?
my mate stu says we should do that and the first team should stripped to the waist and whipped

We are in a position so similar to that of the 70's/early 80's.
We make good players become ordinary at best.
We make successful coaches unsuccessful.
Back then it took relegation and a new dynamic chairman (yes Mo was dynamic in those days) and new board (slimmed down from more than a dozen; who picked the team,by the way!) for the root and branch reform necessary.
I am not slagging off Mr Lenagan as he has not been in post long, but the signs are not good; a lacklustre feel about everything being just one factor.
Yes there is a salary cap now, but Mo got us Brett Kenny and John Ferguson, just for starters. The current crew got us Smith and Riddel.
I've got a horrible feeling that things could get worse before they get better.
We will get back to winning ways, but I feel it will take a big catalyst to set things going.

HOOFER
the players that have arrived at wigan since IL took over where bought/signed at Nobby's request.

yes Mo brought you great players in the past but those great players came at a massive cost to wigan and that is the reason our club was near bankrupt' plus there was no salary cap then.

someone form the club once told me Mo built a castle for us but the foundations where on sand.

its going to take a long time for our club to recover from the whelan years and lets not get misty eyed about mo.....how many times where we doing great only for uncle mo to breach the salary cap and lose us points.

at least IL is staying within the salary cap
