Noble confirmed kear confirmed : Wed Apr 22, 2015 4:16 pm  

Come on guys we whinge enough when the club don't announce stuff officially.

It did give me a bit of a shock tho, initially thought it was noble and John kear.

Hopefully nobby can help Hendo exploit the strengths of the side, we know we are light in the front so instead of whining about it look to fact we should be more mobile than the teams that are heavy up front.
Throw the ball about, use the fringes support play.
Hopefully he will suggest lesson 1, throw ball CATCH ball

Micky where have you been, on the moon?

I hope you raise your flag slightly faster when running the line

Is it just me or is anyone else feel a bit underwhelmed by Nobby's arrival? I mean 10 years ago it would have been 'woo hoo' time but now?

He was offered for free when Powell was in charge (as help) and was turned down similar Simmonds when he was sacked by Saints

He is yesterdays man. Look at Wigans improvement under McGuire using Nobbies squad. The games moved on

The only person who will gain from this is the guy stealing a consultancy fee from Hughes. Silk purses don't get made from sows ears and our problems run deeper than yet another inexperienced coach getting pointers from a bloke who had his day about a decade ago.....

One post stated,possible contacts he may have. MENTORING a coach already in place! I don't grasp the benefit to the club with that one.

I think some maybe being a little too cynical for my liking, but I will admit to worrying that we're only getting his input now because no-one else will give him a gig.

Re: Noble confirmed kear confirmed : Thu Apr 23, 2015 8:54 pm  

Or no one else wants our gig.
Pleased to see we are all being so positive though

The Club and its owner have proven themselves adept at making major blunders over the years and therefore it is perfectly acceptable for fans who have stood by to question the appointment of someone who is "past it" and whom even the Good Dr at Salford saw as not being "fit for purpose".

Blind enthusiasm is a trait that the owner has displayed. Feel free to emulate him if you wish but don't lambast those who aren't willing to toe the party line!

I think it's a positive. Stepping up from assistant to head coach is a test a number of successful coaches have failed to make at their first attempt, and someone with a host of experience to tap into can only help that. The last thing we need is another coach leaving or a team underperforming.
As I recall there were calls for an experienced coach, with Brian Noble in the frame, when Joey left so I can't see why there would be complainants now (even though I was against Brian Noble as head, I'm comfortable with him as "mentor").
