I do not think Noble will ever walk, he seems too single minded. He is a survivor and very good at playing the game in my opinion regards survival, i do not think it was a coincidence the Noble to Les Cats story came out at the time it did last year, almost forcing IL's hand to offer him an extension.

I think his short term and maybe long term career will be ruined if he walks from Wigan with us playing so poorly for the last 2 years, and for that reason i think he will battle to the bitter end in the hope he turns it round.

Shame he cannot employ such intelligent tactics on the field.

I think your spot on there....sadly

I think the decision may be taken out of his hands.

Personally, I'll give him 5 games

If we lose on Friday then his job will certainly be under the microscope.

Well if IL was to put the boot in it'd mean he'd have to fund Nobby's departure. Knowing a) IL's desire to run the club as a business and therefore not fund it out of his chequebook and b) Many Wigan fan's displeasure at Nobby: Whip round at the next home game?!

The next few performances are key i think he can get away with losing if we perform to a reasonable standard.

I appreciate i will get slated for this but i hope the next 3 or 4 games we do under perform and get snotted so that IL's hand is forced.

I was all for giving Noble a go this year, but the indication is nothing has changed.

I did have to smile on Sunday at 2 attempted moves that were put on when the ball was spread from the right to the left, they were the slowest, most laboured "moves" i have ever seenwith the people involved not knowing where the hell they were meant to run or who to draw.

Enough is enough in my opinion.
