Which is why I thought it might be to do with having a coach or conditioner employed by the club to give them gym training regimes, though the first-aid-er thing would make sense as well, though ive seen plenty of players in club gym's on their own before.

Possibly yesterday he did think he had a coach who would work foc?

The problem with lining up various members of the RL great and good to help with the new set up is that at the time asked it might have appeared to be an opportunity to genuinely help the club. But when all the sh*t starts to fly as it has done this week you maybe wonder if you want to get covered in it?

Lets see if Nobby is in the dug-out on Sunday - assuming of course fans aren't shut out for H&S reasons and just asked to leave their cash at a safe distance.

Sorry, but can't resist:

Until I know a little more about how the money will be spent I will leave my cash at a safe distance. At home.

I don't know where you worked, but a lot of IP work can be pretty rewarding - solving problems, selling businesses, saving jobs.

Failure to provide a safe working environment is grounds for constructive dismissal, yes.

As is making employment untenable, unbearable or if trust and confidence breaks down. Although those last two are hard to prove.

I'd say cancelling meetings to discuss the future of the players without notice or reason would go some way to provide proof.

Caisley is killing us. Just to stoke his own ego.

The gym thing is due to the insurance being invalidated if the conditioner and/or physio is not there to supervise. Rather than H&S.

I think the meeting last night (other investors) and Potter's statement re "being knifed in the front" (who's perceived as holding the knife?) has caused a last-minute blip with the previously smoothly running plan.

Yup,

sounds to me that whoever it was that BG had lined up to take over the coaching duties has had a rethink as to whether all this may discredit their name and possibly affect their BBC and SKY tv work in the future!

im sure if it was Nobby lined up he only wanted to help, but since then the sh#t has hit the fans! and players pretty hard.

Does he need the trouble? i suggest not.

alot of uncertanty still would loom over the future of rugby in Bradford.

Nobby always strikes me as a straight up and down guy that says it as it is.

Not somebody who would go behind peoples backs to get one up.

Maybe he has changed his mind after seeing the way BG has treat all the staff, and has decided not to play any more.

the meeting this morning with the players in my opinion was to tell them the good news that they have a coach in Nobby and can carry on as normal until sunday.

Then Nobby text BG telling him otherwise (he would have left a VM but BG doesnt have one does he?!



)

From what I have been told, that post about sums the whole thing up in a nutshell. BN was asked last Thursday if he would coach for free until the end of the year, he said yes but it had to be done right as he is friends with MP and didn't want to be seen as coming in through the back door , so to speak. He also said he told BG that he wanted to keep FC on board too, hence the call BN made to him to ask him to stay.

He is now reconsidering after seeing the way BG has handled the situation.

I have read on FBook that Noble is currently working abroad.

Quoted by someone in his family. This would suggest that Noble was never in the frame? surely.

Nobby should never have allowed his name to be linked to cc's gang at the outset

Quite. It seems like some already view our most successful coach ever as the anti-christ as a direct result.

No, you were closer to the truth as I've heard it in your previous post. He offered to coach for free until the end of the season but backed out. Not got too much info as to why but something to do with the reaction to yesterdays sackings.

I'd be happy if Nobby was back as coach but would prefer to see Potter back if possible as he'd got things back on the up dispite the hand we've been dealt with injuries.

Been on sky sports app that BG cancelled the player meeting as he had nothing to update them with and also denies he has or is having talks with CC or any former people associated with the club

No he wasn't, not unless Noble is a liar, which I for one refuse to believe. He is reported as saying the call came on Monday, after the sackings, and on the same day as he returned from a 6 week holiday to Australia and Fiji.

So, no voicemail, and seemingly no ability to text, email or even tweet either. Have I landed in the wrong century somehow?

Perhaps he's The Sheriff of Nottingham.

He can tie a note to an arrow then.

Seems a bit hard to believe that he couldn't get a text to Diskin or L'Estrange between last night and 10.00 am this morning

It seems Brendan Guilfoyle couldn't lay straight in bed if you believe all the rumours that are doing the rounds. It beggars belief that in this day and age, someone who is in the business of emergency planning and communications doesn't have a voicemail nor a secretary who can do his bidding.

This stinks the place out...

Good luck, you look like you will need it.

seems by just referencing diskin that hes unaware that we have two captains. Certainly seems a weak excuse for not getting word to players. Thought this guy was quite highly regarded in his field? he's certainly not coming across well.

He might well be on the field, in a Bulls shirt come Sunday!

Yes he was, he received the call to ask if he would consider it. He tried to speak to Cummins on Monday as he was just back in the country. He initially say he would help out but it had to be done in the right way as he is Potters mate and didn't want to look like he was part of a plan. Unfortunately thats how its panned out.

He is still not sure if he wants the hassle although i think he's not aware of the fact that the vast majority of us right minded supporters can see that he has the club at heart and is not part of some "big plan"
