Suspect the less experienced Harris may be more 'compliant' than the 'seen it, done it', Nobby. Can't see it working, if I'm honest - probable car crash in the making.

Quite

The good doctor tweeted this last night

"@drmarwanK: Having failed in her bid to buy Bradford Bulls, my wife decided to spend her money on bringing more players to Salford if Harris needs them"

More publicity -sigh!!

Ironic move given it was Noble wanting Harris that was a big reason for the mess we got in.

Not sure about Harris as a coach. He seems really dull and monotone in his TV delivery. Hope he's more inspiring off screen.

The trouble with having an open cheque book and a thirst for immediate success is that you make irrational decisions.

The Romans had a coliseum of cash but built the city slowly on good foundations.

I wonder if Franny is pleased Koukash didn't buy us. I am sure we would have been happy but he is far too quick to tell things on twitter for my liking. Green doesn't have the same money but he seems to conduct himself much more professionally. Time will tell but if Green can do the business we may be better off without the hot-headed Dr.

We are a fickle bunch aren't we?

Well, yes and no. The Koukash bid would have meant immediate financial stability, but I think this whole Noble getting moved upstairs in favour of a fairly unseasoned coach, suggests that the man with the money wants to be calling the shots, a state of affairs that some football clubs have had to deal with meaning more than a few ruffled feathers for management.

Mr Green, on the other hand, seems to know his business and hopefully knows that playing armchair coach when he's already employing Cummins is a foolish thing to do.

That being said, I'm keeping my powder dry until the end of the season in regards to Mr Green's leadership of the club

Yeah,agree with that. I guess both are a 'pig in a poke' and neither of us [us or Salford knows what the end of the season will bring or which model of ownership is going to be around longest. Guess both clubs are in for 'interesting times'..

Wish I could get sacked like Nobby, full pay for rest of contract and nowt to do! My sort of sacking, that

To put you in the picture Nobby this time didnt have 6 x 9 foot forwards to call upon or indeed 7 x Amazonian backs to run over the top of oppos`s defences.

In other words his style of Rugby of 5 drives and an up and under didnt suit the `entertainment` culture the Doctor wishes to have.

6 x SL wins in a year only.

Nobby recruited the team with the Doctors dough and allowed good youngsters like Sneyd & Owen to go on Loan.

I hope he stays but fear he will go - as FA says - with a nice wedge of moolah.

I'm glad that you still have a sense of humour regarding Harris

IMO Gary is well satisfied with the recompense he received when you signed him as a player

Harris in interviews and conversations just reminds me of Paul Cullen . If he coaches the same Salford best get ready for pure boring mediocrity

Come again? 2 minor premierships, 3 Grand Finals, 1 Challenge Cup win and keeping Wigan improbably in SL? All on 5 drives and a kick?

Hmm. Doesn't say much about every other coach in the Nobby glory years, then!

FYI apart from being a great team, the Bulls were royally entertaining, I know, I watched every game. We were so entertaining we attracted record crowds. You really have no idea.

I don't know who first propagated this weird notion that Nobby 'doesn't do entertaining rugby', but it's total claptrap. To put it simply, you don't win the amount of 'pots' that he did by just playing one out rugby.

Absolutely. He did not win so much just by playing one dimensional, "one out" rugby.

He also cheated the salary cap at any given opportunity. That helped too.

How many subsequent points deductions?

Now THIS is why people perceive you to gain little enjoyment from life. Is this the best you have to say about the magical days under noble?

I expect people from other clubs to petulantly refer to our minor cap infringements as if they negate our success, but from one of our own it's just daft.

it's all about a bit of balance. If people are going to discuss the merits if Noble then it's something that cannot be ignored.

We had a great side, and good times, sure, but fundamentally a lot of it was because we were spending more than we were allowed to and it dampens the joy somewhat.

FWIW, he cheated to keep Wigan up too.

I'm amazed that this 'cheat' Noble, managed to break the salary cap all by him self, without anyone else at the club aware of what was going on.

Shame on both Chris Caisley and Dave Whelan.

Seriously though, the cap breaks are not something I would blame Noble for, I very much doubt he was in charge of the clubs finances.

Another thing, didn't Bradford break the cap once, by which point we had already been crowned Challenge Cup, Super League and World Club Champions?

Not sure we owe all our triumphs on the break of the cap.......

I think it's fair to say that the minor cap infringements would have made absolutely no difference at all to our winning streak, but we have the pots in the cabinet, I have the good times in my memory, and I laugh my cock off at the bitter buffoons who, Black Knight stylee, want to pursue some hopeless mad pointless personal vendettas, in fact it adds to the entertainment

Didn't we just break the cap in 2005? Don't recall any probs in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004.

Exactly

And again in 2006.

Shhhhh

We broke it every year, as did (and do) most top clubs. Mostly they all didn't get caught.
