Mark Noble - West Ham Legend 500 up

[alfahammer]

I don't "especially" care about the naming of his specific role.

If he's about the club. And visible to players and staff..........then his natural leadership qualities and experience are there for anybody at all who wants a chin wag with him....or with any advice sought.

Absolutely invaluable person to have on board.

It can't be measured "just" in the naming of him in a certain role....it's worth so much more than that.

I was just saying to a mate after the Everton debacle that the team underestimated how important he was to the club. He brings so many intagibles. So happy that he is back!

Nice to see this thread back on top of the first page

[psychoscoredthelot]

job for life hopefully

[Humbug]

Personally, I think Noble has all the motivational attributes to become a good football manager. Sir Trevor was an excellent caretaker manager but didn't fancy the role, but I think Noble would love it.

Welcome back Nobes and good luck with the new role

[ereford ammer]

Good news at last. Welcome Mr West Ham

[Eggs'n'nuts]

Straight into the job with no experience as an exec? Good luck to him of course but seems a but of an odd role for him

Maybe someone can educate me otherwise

Whatever way you look at it, it keeps him in and around the club which in my mind, is a massive plus.

He's got a qualification in Entertainment, Media and Sports from Harvard - what have you ever done?

The return of Mr West Ham can only be good news for the club overall, I’m sure he’s got lots to learn, but the Harvard stuff suggests he knows that. Welcome back home Mark, every organisation needs someone to knit everything together, and that’s a role our Nobes can excel at.

So he now gets paid for the role he did off the pitch? Sounds perfect to me and just what we need based on some of the hound dog looks amongst the playing staff and youngsters moving or looking to move.

Ooh is he picking the team for Premier League South (vs North)?

I love everything about this:

1. The fact that the club have recognised the need, and allocated money for the post.

2. It gives a great sounding board for Moyes and individual players, and provides a conduit between the two.

3. It addresses what I see as a morale problem.

I am so glad that my tenuous The Office reference was not lost in the internet forever

[StevePottsGoalsReel]

Good stuff.

This is West Ham though. He'll be back in his kit on the bench before the season's out.

[simon hammer]

Cracking news!

[S-H]

No he won't.

He'll replace Warburton as manager in March.

[Sticky]

January? F*cking lazy c*nt...

Na this is required.

I like it. I like it alot.

[jaybs]

Correct decision, Congrats Nobe's, you will be the right person for Our Club, bring back the feeling on and off the pitch, we are The Hammers! and we are proud of it.

[OFT]

Great news. Having Mark around the place again has to be good.

[ironside58]

Thumbs up, I think.

I'd love to see the job description. It should be setting the philosophy/ style of play for the club at all levels.
