| Brian Noble in this month's [iForty 20[/i: ‘I might have to polish the CV.’ Look at them all now. They're like flies round sh=#000000it.

| I'd be very happy with Brian Smith. With a fit squad he went to the NRL GF just a couple of years ago. Partly due to the highly competitive nature of the NRL, a lack of young players coming through at the Roosters and key players such as Braith Anasta losing form, the Roosters struggled the following year. That said, 6 NRL GF's and one very recently puts Brian Smith in the elite club of coaches.
Oh, Noble's barely fit to polish Smith's boots let alone his own CV. (A tad harsh)

Well Noble is a protege of Smith's coaching at Bradford. The difference is how coaches adapt to new patterns and tactics. And I imagine with Smith being in Australia for a while, where you'd argue most of the game's innovation takes place, their styles of play could be significantly different now.

| With Brian Smith being the elder brother of Tony I’d imagine they are in regular contact and share similar tactical knowledge, structures and systems. For this reason is Brian Smith going to bring anything unique and give Salford a competitive edge in the future over our neighbours down the A57? Who knows they could be complete opposites and have totally contrasting coaching methods for all I know.

| I wouldn't mind Brian Smith. Knows the game on both hemispheres and has a good track record. Well known in Oz and here, and could tempt over a few big guns.

He has to be up there as one of the best 5 coaches of the previous two decades.

| Brian Smith would be a cracking appointment. Would like to see something more concrete about him actually being interested in the job mind.

I don't think you can make such sweeping statements because they are brothers, sport doesn't work like that. I'll start worrying about our lack of competitive edge when it becomes an issue.

| Exactly.
We are currently second bottom.
We must put in place the structure,coach and players to become a force but let's wait until we are a force to genuinely compete with Warrington and then rejoice at the problems that it gives us !

| I think he'd be very good. And Tony Smith might have to think twice about poaching talented palyers from his own flesh and blood................maybe not thinking about it.

I agree, and regarding poaching I suspect that once Dr K has the organisation sorted out, securely financed and properly managed we won't be in such fear of losing that talent which we want to keep - perhaps we'll be the ones wearing the poachers jacket for a change!

| Last time we went out to Aus to find a coach ( the next Madge Maguire ) we were being aspirational being linked with assistant coaches - David Penna , Kurt Wrigley , Peter Gentle etc , they all laughed, snubbed us and we ended up with Ricky Stuart's Drinking buddy.
Now we are linked with genuine GF winners with years of head coaching experience in both hemispheres .
I think that's a testament to the distance we have travelling in such a short space of time .
I'd be happy with any of the names being currently circulated because this sets our stall out for the status of the club & the type of players that sort of appointment would expect to attract.
they will listen because of the owner is aiming high & because they'll know he's not afraid to back up these targets with hard cash. and because the Director of Rugby , Co Owner & CEO are well known .
So Brian Smith Yes , or ' a Brian Smith' . If we end up with Wayne Bennetts drinking buddy , then it's back to square one.

| Does anyone know or has bothered to ask what Koukash is a Doctor in? When did he get it? What for? Where from?
And how much money has he actually put into Salford? Has anyone asked or seen the cheque?
10 years ago when I knew him he was hiring out an American Police car and a Ferrari for kids birthday parties and was just plain Marwan.....

Oveh another bitter Wire fan. They dont like it up `em do they?
No matter what happens but since the `takeover` 2 months wages and 2 months horse training fees
have been found so I guess thats a net Half Million sorted by the good Doctor and his friends.
A bit of History for you Dringo
'He graduated from John Moores University in Liverpool and studied further to gain a PhD in engineering in 1986 and then taught at the university for five or six years. `

With a PhD in Electrical Engineering, shutting off the internet to Warrington shouldn't be beyond him.

It's surely run by generator as have they got elastic trickery there yet??
I'm amazed the amount of people think the RFL have just let him rock up with faked current account statement and fake ID, do people honestly think that he'd have assembled the back room staff he already has without a significant outlay?

I thought of that myself when writing my post - living at home with his Father in a two up, two down in Anlaby yet offering millions to KR. Think he'd have got away with it as he wasn't taking over just making an investment - doubt they have to go through any real form of RFL checks to put money down for no controlling interest.

Another one anxious at the prospect of the bonfire being pi**ed on. How many more of these ‘scousecunian’ town dwellers are going to make idiots of themselves?

A classic poacher turned gamekeeper.
