When history comes to be written, maybe more than a few people may come to feel they have been used as pawns in all this? Brutus Agarius is one. Brian Noble is another.

I agree 100%. No one is happy with what's gone on, esp regards potter but from where we are today, with a game on sun we have little options and noble would have my complete support if he's helping us out for free.

Well thats big of you. Im sure brian is grateful for your kind appreciation!!

must be a way we can reach him nothing but respect for Noble, he seems to do a decent job where ever he goes, would love him back after what has happended to potter.

And if he is willing to work for free until the end of the season shows he has some passion for the club

Ive sent him a message on facebook. Brian is no wuss!

My mate is seeing him tomorrow and will be advising him that the vast majority welcome him back and they realise he has been caught up in this mess.

The majority obviously feel that Nobby should be encouraged to help. To remove any doubts I think a clear statement is needed-- the link that's been posted is a good start but it should be made even clearer:
when he was asked
whether he completed the review of playing that the new board implied he would be asked to complete
if that review was done were there any recommendations regarding current coaches/players or was it solely an historical document of how we got where we are
has he spoken to Mick Potter

I have always found Brian Noble to be in the words of Ferocious Aardvark,an honourable man . If he answers these questions with the answers I expect (and a half decent journalist would be asking these and more) then many of those with lingering doubts would trust him and his motives.

Which bit of me saying he has my complete support is a problem for you?

I'll expand if you need it spelling out. That a Bradford legend is willing to step into this mess for no pay, but wanting to make sure he's not disrespecting Potter speaks volumes of the man, and so he has my complete support if he comes in.

if there is anyone that can keep you on the right path it has to be nobby, its funny how he turned down Cas for more money but shows his alliance and love for Bradford.

noble was not asked on monday, he was asked on thursday

He wasn't asked on Thursday, you muppet, and I make no apologies at all for calling you a muppet, since that is what you are because:
a) you are calling Noble a liar; and
b) he can't have been asked before Monday, since it was not until Monday that Potter refused to work for no pay.

Anyway, he was on a tour of Aus and Fiji last Thursday, and as Guilfoyle can't even operate a voicemail, international calls would clearly be beyond him.

Or maybe the administrator's team includes Mystic Meg, and they thus knew what Potter would say, before they had asked him? If so, then why did they need to ask Noble?

The impression Mick gave is that it was hinted that Nobby was willing to step into the breech if he refused to work free gratis, Consequently Mick was right in damming Nobby (saying it was "an ordinary thing to do" which in Aus speak is a version of beyond the pale)
Nobby was brought up from a troubled youth by Trevor Foster and therefore has enornmous respect for him and would not sully his Name or the Bulls.
So Nobby is between a rock and hard place when deciding to help with the Coaching, I hope he does and that he publically dams Guilfoyle for being so bloody Machiavellian in this affair

I am not in the know or know any one on the inside of the club, this is purely my opinion based on certain facts.

If MP was going to work for no pay he'd be still at the club. However if he refused wouldn't it be better to have somebody else lined up? If you wish tapping someone up.

The players meeting was cancelled yesterday the day after the ex-coach is potted by the administrator. Why would he cancel that? IMO either for a potential buyer or a head coach, if it is for a hair appointment or anything else as trivial he needs his balls used as trampoline.

If none of this has happened then the administrator is ensuring the club does not exist.
