Noble would be a good choice as winning things is not your immediate priority.
He took Wigan from bottom of the league to being a semi finals team. As has been stated his contract wasn't renewed as he could make those finals.
He could do for you what he did at Crusaders. Bottom of the league to top eight.
Surely one of your priorities is to get your fans back. Last season around 5600 this so far 2100. A team winning and going for top eight would get fans coming back I'd imagine.
It's going to be interesting times and pretty eventful for you Salford fans. Good Luck!

There's been an admission in recent weeks that last season's figures were cooked.

By who? And even If they were I can only imagine by a few hundred rather than 3,500 on a published gate of 5,600. I know quite a few people who were there last year and haven't renewed their season tickets. Maybe some people are waiting to see improvements and will just pick their games this year.

Perhaps the club should now consider dropping the admission prices to £10 for the remainder of the season to reflect this years squad.

Excellent move, perhaps a hint the new head coach may potentially be a NZer too?

Noble had 3 years at Wigan, lots of money, resources and he came up short time and time again. The RL played under Noble was somewhat dull. Maguire came in and revolutionised the Noble set up making the same squad left into GF winners. Who sounds like a Dr appointment, a Maguire instant results OR Noble promising, pleading patience but never delivering competition success. Strikes me the Dr wants success yesterday not the empty promises of Noble.

Noble would be the perfect appointment for exacty that reason. He has the name, contacts and most importantly the ability!




Powell is well overdue a SL return. Outstanding coach with pedigree of building a side with youth and experience. Well respected in the game too. You'd have to give him a long term deal though and none of this interim nonsense. Ask Sheens if he genuinely wants the job and if he'll sign the deal now (even if for 2014) if not move on.

Some in Australia are linking Sheens with Cronulla where their coach has been stood down and the MEN have a story about Dr Koukash wanting to speak with Noble.[url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/marwan-koukash-hold-talks-former-1728750Story[/url

We need someone to re-ignite the passion. Noble is not that man.

Noble definitely not the man for me. Would be a poor choice.

Noble turned around teams like Wigan and Crusaders and got them winning games. He might not have got them to any finals but you're not going to become trophy contenders overnight.

He'd be a steady transitional coach. If he was available until the end of the season when you've a better chance of getting someone else then it's a good move.

Noble might install a better culture at the club a winning mentality which the doctor is annoyed doesnt exist currently at salford

would be interesting if he got the job would it be Nobles biggest / best job taking a salford team with no winning culture and turning into a competative side which compete for trophies.
At Wigan he had the money and the processes in place, at Celtic he had a clean slate so he basically installed the winning processes.

Longy has been leading the coaching sessions since PV went...and after today's result it seems that he is doing the right things.

Mentioned on a different thread, Noble commented in this month's [iForty 20[/i, perhaps tongue-in-cheek, that he may be interested.

All the names mentioned would have one massive bonus for the club and that would be to help bring on Longy who I'm convinced will one day become a coach of the very highest caliber.

Think the added bonus if it is Sheens or Smith would be that they are both names well known and held in high regard in Australia and NZ to aide player recruitment. You'd think that Sheens in particular would have a huge knowledge of the younger up and coming talent down there that could be tempted over with the promise of getting in at the start of something exciting that is happening at the club.

This mornings press suggests the delay may be due to Noble being in Australia [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2013/mar/13/super-league-brian-noble-salford1st Paragraph[/url

He does seem to have a number of influential friends;not all in the press,as they contributed to a book that has been recently published about 'winning teams' [url=http://m.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/10090755.Noble_s_booked_up_for_building_a_team/Info on book[/url

His mentor,Matthew Elliott,was fairly seriously criticised about the defence his team displayed on the 1st game of the new season,last weekend,in which they lost.
