| Quote ="Bulliac"Dear Brian,
I couldn’t let this whole distressing mess pass without a comment and as I don’t know how else to contact you….
I would hate you to think that the fans of our club don’t have tremendous respect for you and all you’ve achieved over many years because, even though this is a personal message and represents no-one but myself, I know that the vast majority of fans at the club bear no ill will towards you at all, not a shred. Just the opposite, in fact.
What they also have is a great respect for Mick Potter and the coaching staff, along with a distaste for the men at the top who got us into this mess, and that, and only that, is behind all the comments and apparent bad feeling. After three or four years of underachievement and a gradual decline in fortunes it seemed, under Mick Potter, that things were at last, on the mend; a team playing as a unit, fighting for each other and showing wonderful spirit. Even under the ‘glory years’ I’ve seldom been as proud of the team as I have been on occasion this season.
I hope the background, which obviously you must be aware of, from the point of view of a fan, can help you put all the negativity into context; it ain’t about you mate, it really isn’t.
Yours sincerely
Ian Copley'"

Ditto!! Sums up my feelings exactly. Is there a way we can get the letter to him directly? I know he has a linkedin page.

Agree with the op's sentiment. No one has a problem with noble. Think people were more upset with the timing, although it was all just rumours.

I agree with Bulliac, but I would just love to challenge the people who verbally abused his son. It's bad enough to abuse someone who is willing to work for nowt without having a go at his family. Seriously bad form. |

I am in full agreement with the OP. I hope that Brian remembers the warm words of thanks and support that many fans posted on this very forum when he left for Wigan.

Anyone know Nobby/speak to him.
Point him towards this thread - please.
Poor lad didn't look himself the other day on SKY and who can blame him.
I remember speaking to him yonks ago when his/my lad were playing against each other at Stanningly. Even though he was HUGE in RL/Bulls at the time he was, as ever, approachable, interested and just ya' normal bloke/Dad. My lad was made up for ages afterward over how he'd taken the time to have a natter about lads footie.

I concur in every respect. I have the utmost admiration for Brian, both as a coach and a person. He has been a true servant to our club and I would welcome him back with open arms.

I know Noble used to read the Wigan board when he coached us, so I reckon there's a fair chance he'll get the OP's message.

Same here. Agree with everything that has been said, im sure he used to work with my dad back in the day (Shaun Chamberlain). Nobby is a top coach and a top Bradford lad.

| Couldn't agree more with the opening post
Nobby is a Northern/Bulls legend and will always be so,but at present it's not right for him to come into our club even if it was for free,We really need Mick Potter to finish the job here that he has started.
IF we survive as a club in it's present state and IF we make the play offs this season then this could be one of the Bulls finest ever achievements |
