Your 100% right, under current employment law, Noble would be able to sue for "constructive dismissal" anyway, so theres almost certainly been an "agreement" reached, even if Noble isn't aware of his rights, theres bound to be shedloads of "Sports Agents" and Lawyers in Manchester who do! I doubt Koukash would need a phone call from any of them to know he had to stump up some compo'.

Nobles departure has been treated in exactly the same way Ed Farish,Liam Foran, Vic Mauro and Ryan Mcgoldryck ,all still under contract at the time of departure, was dealt with.

ie after negotiations the employee's
left by mutual consent.

No court cases no gagging orders no dramas.

Yup a nice fat compromise agreement.

And what's wrong with that?

Nothing at all, just hope he milks the good Dr for all he can

Noble should concentrate on commentating IMO. His knowledge, and enthusiasm is excellent, and he even makes Davies a little bit more positive about the game too.

I'm surprised anyone watched for longer than ten minutes after the way Jiffy grumbled on at the start of the game. I watched a documentary about him and he is like a different man when covering the other code. Shame as he still has a brilliant technical understanding of the game.

I'm sure the Dr is reeling from the payout. He may have to wait five minutes to earn it back...

I certainly wouldn't be disappointed if he joined the Sky team. Thought the trio on BBC today were very good indeed.

Yep, all are knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about the game without being overbearing. You can tell Dave Woods is a pie eater though, he can try and disguise that ridiculous accent all he wants but, he can't seem to go a few minutes without mentioning them.

Commentator in mentioning reigning cup holders during cup game coverage shocker.

Nothing wrong with that but calling one the teams Wigan when Wigan are not playing is a bit of a shocker.

Noble is on a fixed contract and so it isn't a question of dismissal. He has to do the job, for the time stipulated, and Salford have to pay. If they relieve him of his duties then it makes no difference to the fact that under his contract he is due his money just the same. Dismissal claims are not relevant.

Whether he can be shunted into a different role depends entirely upon whether that is provided for in his contract, if it is, he can be, and if it isn't, then he can't.

Mmmm, I just wish the Dr could've been persuaded to buy Mandy the Broncos......just saying
