I see. So like the other chap, you are also claiming that the offer to Potter to stay and work for nothing was a sham, and if he had said "yes", they would have told him, "actually, no, we didn't mean it, off you go".



OK.





Er, this is Noble's own account, not yours. The one quoted on Monday in the press.





Well then, let me increase your awareness. I will even do so without pay.

,

We know that this approach was made on Monday, so there is the second confirmation (the first being the plain wording of the article that Guilfoyle made the sackings , then told Noble of the "situation"







If you want specific nailed-down confirmation, though, here it is:





Next, Potter himself dates the call from Noble to Cummins as on the Monday too;

This corresponds 100% with what Noble said, and what Cummins said.



Or maybe now you are going to say that Potter and Cummings are also lying about when these calls etc took place? Maybe the T&A, the Guardian, and all the media and all the fans have conspired to pretend the fans meeting was on Monday, but really it was the previous Friday?

FA, i like your use of quotes again. Just to clarify, are you confirming that you are STUPID enough to rely on journalism?I am taking it as confirmation, as all of your arguements are based on newspaper articles.



your quotes above dont seem to show noble saying he was contacted on monday. do you have any quotes saying that?

Sadly, I don't have a big-mouthed loose-tongued friend who is bezzy mates and a close confidant of Nobby, but who is prepared to betray that trust to thoughtless toerag mates who in turn want to seek kudos by in turn betraying that confidence on a public forum.



As apart from nutters claiming to have such "mates", we are all going on the quotes we have read in the press. The fact that people bull and the fact that many articles are unreliable is a generalisation. There is no reasonable doubt about these particular quotes on this particular subject from Guilfoyle, Potter, Cummins and Noble, as they are all reported as saying the same thing, by different journalists, in different publications.





You need to learn to read, as they clearly do. But why ask, since surely it would be STUPID of you to rely on any such?

Imagine this is like listening Caisley and Hood squabbling over who's right about a completely insignificant thing when the club comes crashing down around us.





What are you two trying to achieve here?

So to clarify, you are STUPID enough to rely on a newspaper article. Then call people nutters and toerags who dont simply rely on these newspaper articles. I see.



My reading is fine. Where in the direct QUOTE you used, does it say 'I was contacted on Monday'. I am happy to rely on direct quotes as these are goverened closer by our glorious libel laws Or could the said quote be followed be journalistic comment giving the impression it was on Monday? No wait, wait. What am i thinking. it must be the another consipiracy theory I have. Journalists CANNOT, COULDNT possibly word an article using quotes to give the reader an impression that is not 100% accurate, that would be impossible.

I am trying to defend attacks against myself, having posted accurate information on a forum that is pertinent to our current mess and the readers here.

I think if the game goes ahead at the weekend H&S will require all handbags to be left on the gate as posts on this thread indicate potential trouble?



I think the majority of fans thought MP was doing an amazing job in very difficult circumstances and would have liked him to stay, but if any one of you were asked " look you are doing a tremndous job in a calm dignified manor, do you mind doing it for free" I think we all know what the majority response would be. So as MP is not an option now then can we all give our uneqivical support to BN - a Bradford lad to the core, and a highly rated coach to boot - we are "incredibully "

lucky to even have this as an option.

You were the one calling FA stupid

Mainly contesting the proposition that Noble is a liar.





I may not be the only one:









Why is it Ok for you to be so STUPID as to rely on journalists for your information, then?



But mind, you clearly do have your own hotlines to Nobby and others; there is no substitute for inside information:





Oops.





Oops.



And your finger seems to have been right on the pulse of the Bulls players:





Or maybe you just believe you are a better bullter than you actually are?







If so, then your comprehension is an epic fail.



I repeat, Noble was clearly speaking the truth, not lying nor being disingenuous, and suggest you accept that and move on.

You have still failed to show me a quote from Nobby stating he was contacted on Monday, the quote you used does not state he was contacted on Monday.



Whilst I appreciate you trawling through my previous posts, which of your examples show me using a journalistic report as FACT. the whole basis of your arguement stated that it CANT have happened that way soley based on the articles, thats slightly different.



Also, please not that all of those rumours were exactly what I was told. Nobby wanted the hull job and rejected cas at a similar time. This happened.



And the potter rumour is clearly stated as a rumour. I am pretty sure others posted similar accounts, and this is probably linked to the fact it was said to at least 4 people by a member of the coaching staff at a training course.



It was confirmed we were close to signing Leon (by hood I think), but the tax in Catalan tipped it. the very likely isnt too far out, as i certainly didnt state he had signed.



If nobby has stated he only heard about this on monday i will be shocked. shocked because I was told on friday this was going to happen, so somebody must be able to predict the future.

Point is slideby? I knew Noble was coming back way before we announced admin, didn't post because I knew what backlash I'd get. Didn't know he was coming back this way mind. But if he's coaching on Wednesday I think us fans need a chant for POtter to show our appreciation and a chant for Noble for helping us out.

my point is simple although its been slightly de railed. I posted because I thought it was important, and FA attacked this to suggest it was untrue. not incorrect, but a lie, and as such I have defended that this wasnt the case.



You have obv heard similar to myself RE noble (before it was announced that CC would try remove Hood etc),and i think I may have posted it. I am happy to support noble, I like the guy alot, but I wont have someone tell me I am lying because they have read an article saying otherwise.
