Unfortunately it appears that some of the vitriol Nobby refers to may be comments coming from some of the younger and more vocal players.

Mick Potter also openly criticised Nobby for contacting Franny Cummins before he'd barely left the car park.

So whilst there are undoubted numptys on other social media sites throwing mud in his direction I suspect Nobby is big enough, and cares about the club enough not to give a flying f*** about such comments. BUT he would care what fellow professionals think of him.

Noble says he was only asked on monday after potter had already gone... i believe Noble on that!

I feel for Potter, he looked heart broken and he would surely have been first choice for us if we could have kept the same situation but we couldnt and I, and i suspect most fans, would welcome Noble with open arms!

Importantly, we need to get as many as we can down to Odsal on Sunday if the game is on... you dont have to go and support the board but if you think about the players and that performance on Friday against Wigan that is all the reason i need to go support the players again and again... they like us are victims too

I belived potter was the man who would bring trophys back to odsal and it's sad that he's had to go.

Nobby is and always will be a legend, one of my heroes!

YOUR club needs you nobby!!!

Maybe temporarily we need a Noble.

If a takeover is completed and Potter isn't reinstated, then all hell should break loose IMO.

The general consensus seems to be that Brian is wanted.

If anyone can contact him please let him know he will have the support of all the true fans?

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.

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

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.

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.

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 becausecan'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.
