As I've posted on the VT:

Wether you believe me or not I'm not bothered, this has been caused by the players. 6 of the senior players turned up at Marwans office on 3 separate occasions to voice their concerns about the training methods and game plan of Noble. The doctor listened and had done what he had to do.

Thought there was a quote the other day when this all kicked off from Morley saying he was shocked? Surely if he is the club captain he would have been very much aware about what was going on. If senior players really do have an issue with training methods and game plans then I'd say they should have first gone to Noble and then if nothing got done to the owner.

All getting a little messy for me now this, would have been much better if this hadn't been leaked on Twitter rather than official (though one still hasn't been posted) club outlets.

If I may put words in Butcher's mouth, perhaps the problem is that your post - as with so many other similarly silly posts from fans of other clubs - is that it's laden with pejoratives: "Koukash press the panic button"; " a trigger-happy owner"; "egotistical owner"... If you want a civilized response, then you might want to consider making a civilized point.

You - as so many fans of other clubs do - seem to be approaching it all from the perspective of someone who has set himself up a nice little Straw Marwan; one who is capricious, impatient, rude, etc. and you view everything he says and does through that distorting prism.

So, your little list of "what ifs?" could just as easily have read:

What if your time spent with the likes of Russell Crowe had convined you that there were more modern coaching methods around? What if some of your players had expressed similar concerns? What if some of them had also said that one of the assistant coaches at Wigan was a major user of these methods? What do you do? Do you wait to see if things improve or do you take action?

Now, I don't know if any of these is true, which makes all I've written there every bit as valid as your list of "what ifs?"

Why should he be quiet? Unless you're in some kind of hostage situation, no-one is forcing you to read what he says, no-one is forcing you to comment on what he says, no-one is forcing you to read other's comments on what he says....

The problem isn't with Marwan. It's with people like you.

That said, the Brian Noble thing could have been handled better.

Exactly my point.

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.
