Sadly, your argument bears all the hallmarks of being irrefutable.  |

Without dredging up up an old topic I read this piece from Nobby
www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/sport/h ... _1_3372417
The part where he worked under Brian Smith & Matty Elliot made a salient point re when Macca took over he hadn't got any one looking over his shoulder on a day to day basis and reminded me of Wayne Bennetts philosophy that a Head Coach needs 5-7 years as an assistant beforehand! |

Nobby talks a lot of sense. Any team that has him on board in some capacity is better for it.
You can be confident Halifax will turn things around.

There's no substitute for experience (save perhaps a lot of good luck?) so I guess that's pretty fair comment. When Brian left, IIRC Hull came in for Macca, which maybe pushed the board into making a quicker decision to promote him immediately than they, perhaps, might have done. I suppose trying to relive the past is most people's favourite pastime, though, from my own observations, I've come to the conclusion that it changes nothing.  |

wasnt it case that hull tried to get macca a few weeks before noble rumour became public knowledge? remember there was talk at time that one of things we used to keep macca was possibility him getting told on quiet that he could be getting our head coaches job earlier rather than later. |

That sounds very much about right Mat...Nobby said at the Fans' Forum just before his leaving was announced that he had told Macca that it might be very much in his interest to hang around. I have the exact transcript of what he said somewhere in my notes.
As Bulliac says, though, I too have made the ground-breaking discovery that -no matter how much some people might wish it to be otherwise - you cannot change history.

That's that's the kind of thing that's caused no end of bother. I blame King James, if he'd not allowed the translations into English, you'd just have to accept what the scholars told you was in there and we'd all be a lot happier. I think.  |

I'm sure [ihe[/i was quite conversant with it TT, but my reference was actually to the fact that it allowed the chattering classes and lower orders, such as ourselves, to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest the texts. It's caused nothing but bother I tell 'ee.... |
