Interesting comments by the man at the start of the bbc build up ...

I see you'd rather post on the Salford message board than attend your clubs opening challenge cup game.

Obsessed.

Apologies being based in London means I'm unable to get to games. It's terrible of me really.

Some Salford fans may not of switched on right away - I thought some might like to tune in to see it. I'm not sure what I said was in anyway derogatory towards Salford or anyone else :s

I believe Dr K has stated Lowe is a personal friend and Chalmers,like Ed Farish,was recommended by the RFL.

So was Noble

Which is Doctor speak for they won't be coming round here any more !

Notice that Noble is still on the official site as head coach, you'd have thought that someone might have pulled that by now.

Not a gambler but I'd say that if Bradford keep on the way they are then Cummins will get the shove and Noble being Bradford through and through will be his replacement.

Getting hammered by Leeds is only ever going to hasten this.

After the game yesterday Noble was interviewed on 5Live and he said he was due to speak with the Doc last night regarding his position with the club.

With the Docs love of social media is there any type of update today with the outcome of the call? Got the impression from Noble that the move upstairs seemed more likely than when he was on the panel for the CC game the week before.

on marinas twitter he replied to a noble should still be here comment by saying "not if you knew what i knew"? any rumours on that? surely he wouldn't be implying ill feelings like that if he wanted him to stay.

MEN is pretty certain Noble has gone.

Does anyone know definitely. Has Brian Noble left the club? A shame if he has.

Nothing official to report at the moment.

Still think that he will end up at Bradford either as head coach or heading Cummins out. Sad to not see him make the move upstairs as thing he would bring much to the role and be a real asset to the club.

I just find it peculiar how long this has dragged on. Noble's obviously not taking the new role offered to him but it seems some legal issue could be preventing the club from making an official statement. I can't think of any other reason for the club not wanting to put this to bed can you?

Rumors this morning suggest Noble is possibly returning to the Bulls.
