No come on now. MO has indicated that we would reveal our next coach soon. Soon was last tuesday. 2 games played 2 gaes lost again.FROM A TO B posted:
When it comes down to it, Wigan have never actually stated that we have got Noble.
Half of the problem is postings stating we have signed him, or I saw it in the tea leaves, or my best friends next doors neighbours doctors goldfish said.
I think there is probably a good chance that we have got him, but Bradford are being fair to the fans and I hope that it would be announced at the game so that they can give him the send of he deserves (unlike the opportunity we were not given to say farewell to Faz).
Reading the BBC story on this last Thursday (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 905294.stm) it was hoped that the new person would be here before the Huddersfield game. That could mean we don't know until Friday.thegimble posted:No come on now. MO has indicated that we would reveal our next coach soon.

Again, from the same article, Maurice says that Noble would be a strong candidate if he were to consider the position, along with Lam and "two of the greatest coaches in Australia". He seems to state a preference for Noble, but doesn't count anything out. As I've said elsewhere, this isn't totally in Maurice's hands. Going so public is a brave thing to do, and the Bradford chairman also seems to want to play the same game with his public announcements, but it's Nobby's decision at the end of the day.Mo has ben more in the media this week than all season and he has made it look like Noble was coming. Hes the 1 saying were talking to him in the next day. Hes the 1 doing all the rumoring. So do not blame any on here for this 1.
Yes there are many rumors on here but when a MO says them and acts like hes got his man then its all of his making.
I missed the game, but with the way Jimmy worded his post, what he says does make alot of sense. He would have been in a perfect situation to announce he is staying.jinkin jimmy posted:
I agree with this. After reading about the Bulls' board making an effort to keep him, I would have thought that tonight, with the fans staying behind flying their "please stay" banners would have been the perfect platform for Noble to announce he was staying, but he didn't. Therefore, I expect to read tomorrow that he is still coming.
Bradford said a fond farewell to Brian Noble with a display that carried enough echoes of their achievements under his coaching. The Bulls, with Stuart Fielden rampant and Terry Newton making a fine debut, were too good for Huddersfield, whose former hero, Robbie Paul, could not inspire them on his return to Odsal.
This was a match played out against the backdrop of two Bradford directors trying to persuade Brian Noble to stay rather than take up Wigan's offer. Banners at the ground showed that the Bulls' fans felt the same way, although the informed word was that it was too late to induce their coach to change his plans. His relationship with the club's chief executive, Gareth Davies, now appears to be so bad that he is unlikely to back-track.
