Whats the worst that can happen

He wastes your owners time / money and you are left looking for an owner in 3 years time. Noble and Vievers worked together for several years so you get Vievers reincarnated.

Good luck you will need it.

Scrape the Top 8 / Semi appearances are the best you will get.

Great news for me. Build up a good team for next year. He worked wonders at Wigan and Crusaders. No reason he can't do the same here. Hope all Salford fans get behind him and the team now.

Oh no, semi-finals & playoff appearances, that'd devastate Salford fans after the years of unbridled success we've been enjoying.

S'pose I'm pretty happy with that on the whole. Any idea how long his contract is?



I think most fans would be happy "only" making the 8 or getting to semi finals, given how things have been recently. If we can become a consistent playoff team, then maybe we can attract a real world class coach to take us to the very top - Noble can be a stepping stone and get the foundations built. Or maybe Noble could get us to the top himself, we'll just have to wait and see.

That'll do for me.

Shows the gulf in reality between top sides fans and struggling teams fans. We were readying ourselves to not exist at Xmas, so a top 8 or semi final would be magic.

For fans the occasional bit of finals footy will be great but Dr kashcow's insistence on winning silverware in 2 years is miles away. Will Dr K settle for the odd play off?

just noticed the announcement on the reds website. I think they could have used a different picture though. seems a little insencitive to use an old picture of brian noble with our old coach stood in the background. a bit sloppy really.

Easy mistake to make but very easily corrected.
Sort it,SCR,please

How can you not be happy? 4 months ago I'd have snapped your hand off if you'd told me Noble would be our head coach and we'd have a wealthy/ambitious owner.

By far the best managerial appointment the club have made in the 20 years I've supported them.

Good news,the right choice in my opinion.

bl00dy hell lance, steady on, you think the club have got something right.....
I'll have to open a second bottle of red

Only time will tell, but I hope you are right.

I'm sick of hearing how we will be getting a huge forward pack & our style of play will change. What actually is our style of play? Defensively we are poor, especially defending our line. Let's face it we aren't exactly the best team going forward either no matter what anyone says. We can be awesome I accept bu I settle for a huge pack & winning games than entertaining & getting beat 4 out of 5 games. I'm glad we've got Noble in & it's time we all got behind him & backed his judgement. The new era starts today! Salford Reds Arising!
