Whatever the ins and outs I hope we do have somebody acting as head coach if the game goes on this Sunday. If it's Noble then so be it. It could be a lot worse. Sure the players aren't happy at the moment but nobody is.

im not backtracking on anything!

BN was asked on Thursday if he would consider taking over the coaching reins on an expenses basis only as they needed to get rid of all coaching staff. He asked that one be kept on and that he would do it as long as the whole thing was handled correctly (as he was mates with Potter).

Noble asked Cummins on Monday if he would stay on. He knew what was happening last week. Noble has never said he only found out on Monday as far as I'm aware.

Noble has told Bradford to shove it, by all accounts. He was willing to do it for free but can't be bothered with the agro.

However, you are correct in one thing and that its disrespectful of me to post what he has said to a mutual friend who has passed that info on to me. I just thought that rather than all the guessing games that are floating, some true facts may assist. I have posted sparingly on the whole debacle but my previous posts as soon as the pledges issue came around should confirm that what i have been told is accurate, however, if it be better that people would like to play guessing games then so be it.

I am not childish enough to come on to a forum and simply make things up. Then be abused for providing information that I have 100% no reason to doubt is unfair but I guess i can understand your scepticism as there are a lot of "mates" type stories.

But plenty are, and nobody knows you from Adam.

The conversation might have been like this:
Part one - some time in the last few weeks

CC: Brian, We are in the poo and have no paddle. Could you help if we need you?
BN: Sure, I love the club and will do what I can.
CC: OK I'll let the insolvency practicioner know, just incase he some how becomes our administrator.

No mention of what he'll be doing, just an intention to help if he can


Then - part 2: Somtime on Monday

BG: Hi Brian, Chris mentioned your offer to help the club.
BN: Sure brendon, how can i help?
BG: Well, I ve just had to let most of the staff go as we've no cash, and I could do withn somebody who knows the club, and is respected by the players, to act as a coach / director of rugby, to act as a conduit between me and the playing staff.
BN: That sounds fine, how big is the salary?
BG: No salary nobby, you need to do this for your love of the club.
BN: NO worries, I'll drop Fran a line, he knows the lads and I am sure I can work with him.
BG: OK, I'll pop into Tong at 10am tomorow and introduce you to the players. Thanks again!

Part three MOnday , late PM

BN: Hi Brendon, some tolls have been giving my lad some stick, and there's some real gloits ont he forums giving me the dogs abuse. I grew up in Bradford and still call it home, I served as a player and a police officer in the city and I was the most successful coach the club ever had, but these 2@s are going to make my life a misery. I dont need it!
BG: have a think Brian, take a couple of days. But we could do with you before the london game.
BN: OK Brendon, Ill get back to you when I've briefed the media.
BG: OK, got to go, Ive got to try and get in touch with the players as theres no need to meet now. How am I going to do that? these players are so illusive. How can i getb their numbers? How do I use twitter? where's the nearest payphone?
BN: speak soon Bren
BG: Cheers, Bye!

if you look back over certain peoples posts, it is evident they had prior knowledge of events coming up. and that they werent simply posting random rumours.

I'm sure that's true. It's only this week that I've allowed myself to pay any attention to this again at all.

slideby, haven't you got a faked moon landings seminar to attend?


It does, though. That's precisely what it means. The only way it could be otherwise is if Guilfoyle was going to sack Potter, in any event. Otherwise, only hypothetical discussions could (and I have no doubt did) take place.

To fit your claim, it would need to be true that, even if Potter had agreed to work for no pay, Guilfoyle would still have sacked him. In other words, utter bollox, because plainly, he wouldn't.

This has run its course, but briefly, you are only resorting to semantics to pathetically try to wriggle out of what you posted, and your claim that not only Noble, but now Guilfoyle and Potter himself are lying and in fact Potter was sacked on Friday not Monday indicates to me you should be left alone in your own fantasy world, where everyone is a liar, and only you know the truth.

I see. So like the other chap, you are also claiming that the offer to Potter to stay and work for nothing was a sham, and if he had said "yes", they would have told him, "actually, no, we didn't mean it, off you go".

OK.


Er, this is Noble's own account, not yours. The one quoted on Monday in the press.


Well then, let me increase your awareness. I will even do so without pay.

rlGuardian reportrl
,
We know that this approach was made on Monday, so there is the second confirmation (the first being the plain wording of the article that Guilfoyle made the sackings , then told Noble of the "situation"



If you want specific nailed-down confirmation, though, here it is"I actually left him a message and then he left me a message back saying that, with everything that had happened, he didn't think he could do it. We did speak later in the night and that's the way it was left, but by that stage they'd had the supporters' meeting when Mick said there was some kind of conspiracy theory going on. Do you know what, I don't need that. There's no kind of conspiracy.'"

FA, i like your use of quotes again. Just to clarify, are you confirming that you are STUPID enough to rely on journalism?I am taking it as confirmation, as all of your arguements are based on newspaper articles.

your quotes above dont seem to show noble saying he was contacted on monday. do you have any quotes saying that?

Sadly, I don't have a big-mouthed loose-tongued friend who is bezzy mates and a close confidant of Nobby, but who is prepared to betray that trust to thoughtless toerag mates who in turn want to seek kudos by in turn betraying that confidence on a public forum.

As apart from nutters claiming to have such "mates", we are all going on the quotes we have read in the press. The fact that people bull and the fact that many articles are unreliable is a generalisation. There is no reasonable doubt about these particular quotes on this particular subject from Guilfoyle, Potter, Cummins and Noble, as they are all reported as saying the same thing, by different journalists, in different publications.


You need to learn to read, as they clearly do. But why ask, since surely it would be STUPID of you to rely on any such?

Imagine this is like listening Caisley and Hood squabbling over who's right about a completely insignificant thing when the club comes crashing down around us.


What are you two trying to achieve here?

So to clarify, you are STUPID enough to rely on a newspaper article. Then call people nutters and toerags who dont simply rely on these newspaper articles. I see.

My reading is fine. Where in the direct QUOTE you used, does it say 'I was contacted on Monday'. I am happy to rely on direct quotes as these are goverened closer by our glorious libel laws Or could the said quote be followed be journalistic comment giving the impression it was on Monday? No wait, wait. What am i thinking. it must be the another consipiracy theory I have. Journalists CANNOT, COULDNT possibly word an article using quotes to give the reader an impression that is not 100% accurate, that would be impossible.
