I just posted this on the T&A board, where an old friend and his aliases seem to have free reign and, true to form, resorts to personal attacks whenever he is rumbled:
"Maybe it was partly because of the concerted and relentless campaign of destabilisation by certain people, including multiple-aliases, and with a clear agenda, that Hood decided to act?

Just a thought?"

for some reason 'punisher' or whatever he calls himself has free reign on the t&a board and any thread automatically degenerates into him slagging the club off. maybe its the lack of moderation as every time he trys here under a new alias he gets banned pretty quickly. Gave up posting on t&a board as its pointless arguing with the simpleton.

As usual, just been doing a bit of reflecting (soz, can't help being wired up a bit funny...)

This is what has been reported:

Peter Hood apparently wrote:

Media speculation that Brian Noble is to return to Bradford Bulls as head coach is precisely that – rumour and speculation, which I can categorically deny

Just one teeny weeny little thought wormed its way in, for the more mischievously-minded:

"...as head coach".

Think about it...

Was this a formal press release from the club? Might that clarify? Sam?

Funnily enough, it and its aliases were very very quiet from last Friday. Until, of course, this story was put up and then guess what?

Brian Noble is Bradford through and through, anyone remember the statement he gave to BBC North in the town hall at the homecoming after Murrayfield ?
Now is not the the time for him to return.
However, I don't think we've seen the last of Nobby in some capacity at Odsal.

reading between the lines it all looks to be setting up for nobby to return in a director of rugby type role, or maybe a chief executive ala abi ekoku seeing as we never replaced davies.

Don't need him back,hes made his bed let him lay in it.

There's someone on the T&A who has links to the club some on the Info is coming from somewhere legit.

Its not a simpleton though. It knows exactly what its doing. I just wish everybody else did. But show it that it is rumbled for what it really is, and for what its agenda really is, and it resorts to personal attacks and derision like it used to on here. To this day, it keeps regularly referring to the 'Vark, and in very derisory and insulting terms, yet to my knowledge they have not had any direct exchange for many months. Worrying.

It reads this board though, and refers to material on it. Fortunately the mods seem to be able to spot it reasonably early doors, and ban it whenever it comes back before it starts wrecking on here again. I suspect that frustrates it more than anything.

Edit: btw Mat, its having a real go at you on there now too, even though you never posted anything on there. Think you upset it on here...maybe something you said? Its clearly frustrated as hell it can't get on here.

The worry is that it has free reign on the T@A boards to dis the Bulls, its players, coaches and management which to those readers (both fans or casuals) may be induced to give credence to its vituperous comments.
On this board it was clear that it's sole intention was to destabalise support for the Bulls and having failed has now moved onto pastures new - perhaps more productive in media terms.
It's a prolific poster in the T&A with a single agenda. I fail to see why it should be so consistently bitter and twisted with totally irrational comments. But hey, what do I know about its twisted motivations.

That's making a great big assumption from a simple turn of phrase!
Nobby is perhaps putting feelers out via rumours to let people know he's available?
I think he'll go to another club. Someone perhaps with plenty of money but a few problems on the pitch.
That's not based on anything but opinion. Plus I don't think we could afford to pay a massive salary to a "director of rugby" just to be in charge of Steve Mac.
