not if the crowds keep falling off he wont! did you know IL has given mick hogan the task of reducing match day stewarding to the bear minimum allowed in an effort to cut costs!!

if the performances continue and the crowds keep staying away then it will cost IL alot more over the year than it will to pay noble off!!

IL is a concerned man!!

Or someone who isn't prepared to invest in the short term,

Mick Hogan is doing an outstading job in terms of attracting sponsors, Subway, Rock FM, UCLAN, Kooga, Mecca, but one has to wonder how long he will tolerate operating on a shoestring.

"Shoestring" sounds harsh on IL; no-one knows the budget but IL's been on record saying he wants it run properly; if that means cost-cutting then good, profits made can get re-invested in the club,

That aside, credit to Mick Hogan for the work he's done so far.

That is true, but shoestring can also cause far more profits than profit will solve.

Read John Monies book (re showers) for details.

That's requires balance and good management; hopefully something we now have.

Adrian Lam would be my choice of replacing Noble if it ever comes down to that.

Lam knows the club and more importantly the quality of our youth. He'd give them a chance to shine.

It would be a Mike Gregory type of appointment.

Adrian Lam and Shaun Wane together would be fantastic.

Both are hugely respected through out the club.

I think that would be good, it would be a risk but I think it would pay off.

We have had the 2 best coaches in super league history and they have not done it, maybe a top class, big money coach is not the answer.
