I just meant that I find it amazing that some people get a little excited over their own opinions and ideas. Which is fine if they're based on facts and not speculation. It was aimed more at those individuals spread over many threads who have already made their mind up about the how and why without really knowing anything. Rather than those debating the ins and outs.

An important question in my eyes is who is actually advising the Doc on this? OK maybe he could see for himself that Noble wasn't working but more importantly who has advised him that he thinks Harris will be what we are looking for.

It will also for me be interesting to see who Harris picks as his back room staff, odd that we apparently got rid of Dolan last week when Noble was so close to the trap door, I think you'll see Harris go for a wiser old head as his number 2 who can offer advise based on his experience.

Lets just put things into perspective. Would Harris have won the same games this season as Noble has? The answer is probably, so we won't be anywhere worse off. Noble hasn't set the world alight here and has made a couple of dubious signings, which perhaps the Doc isn't happy with. Plus if he's lost the dressing room its best for all concerned. It still seems harsh regardless.

Will Brian Noble the horse be re named or just become expensive Pritt Sticks

Would guess Mathew Elliott will be looking for a job over here soon as his expensively assembled NZ Warriors were hammered 37-6 by lowly Cronulla this morning.

Remember him? He fell off his seat when watching that great `Wide to West` try for Saints against Bradford.

sorry........

The only facts we are privy to is that Noble was offered an alternative job, and as such opinion on the rights and wrongs of that decision are valid and worthy of debate. All the other stuff is opinion on speculation and therefore much less credible as topics to discuss.

What I would say is that we criticised the old regime for lack of decisive action when it was needed, we endured McRae for years because action would not be taken. What I do know is that in business (and the club is a business) if you need to make tough decisions, take them quickly and act decisively. Clearly the Doc has done that, whether we agree with his actions or not.

I will add my own bit of speculation, I guess that Hansen and Hock were asked about Harris as a coach having played at Wigan.

To all those who moaned about the appointment of Noble, who now appear to be upset by his demise, I would say successful business men do not make rash decisions based on spur of the moment thoughts, they weigh up the issues and options and then take action. Let the Doc get on with it after all he is a successful businessman.

This team has just been put together,to sack your coach not half way through the season just goes to show how little the good DR knows about rugby leage, if he wanted instant succes he should stick to race horses, at least he would get a small return from the knackers yard when they didnt perform, it takes at least a season for a new team to gell he should at least have given Noble that.

Yes, its a business in that it is a professional unit that makes (or loses) cash, but, like all sports clubs, it is unique in that you need somebody who fully understands the sport itself and be able to make decisions accordingly.

At this point in time, Salford need Koukash to get himself a very good adviser to make those decisions for him, instead of what seems to be happening, in that the guy is playing a very realistic (and expensive) game of Rugby League Manager.

The one good thing for Koukash at the moment, is that he seems to have enough cash and enthusiasm to be able to afford several silly looking decisions and that eventually he will come across the right combination of good coach and good team - The biggest problem for you fans is if Koukash doesn't get some success quickly enough for his liking and gets a bit fed up waiting.

By giving a very experienced, proven coach like Noble just 7 games with a newly assembled team, Koukash seems to be indicating that he isn't in this for some patient team building exercise?

The Doc is entitled to hire & fire as it is his business, however I do have concerns that he continues to conduct the clubs business by a social media, when I read his feed early last evening I assumed Brian Noble was fully supportive & had accepted the changes (clearly Not)
I would suggest the Doctor should release is redundant PR machine as it is not needed.

I will be forever grateful for saving our great clubs heritage, however all successful businesses & successful sports businesses are built on stability & there is a way business matters are conducted in private & released at the appropriate times, not by social media.
I am not a Noble fan, however I do not agree with the changes at the present moment, I agree he as the right to make such changes, but please Mr Koukash stop making these changes by social media & release in the right manner with respect to all individuals involved.

Well, according to the sky sports website,Nobbys contract was up on Monday. So he hasn't been sacked, he's just not being retained as head coach. The Doc can see that Nobbys wasn't getting the best out of the players, so it was either offer him a new contract or look for someone new. Must say I find it strange to appoint Harris. Thought he may have gone for a top Aussie. Fully expect Bobbie Goulding to come on board some time soon to work with the kids.

That would be an even worse move, Alan Hunte has worked wonders getting such a good set of youngsters so why destabilise it by bringing in someone with more baggage than Imelda Marcos at a shoe convention.

When we brought in Noble the contract term quoted at the press conference was 18 months.

He does what he wants...

He's Marwan Koukash,
