You've got to remember the general public is made up of morons and f*wits, the number of people that said to me last year "North should have tanked for Harley Reid" made me realise they lap up whatever spews from the mouth of people like Sam McClure. They don't think for themselves, they don't have their own opinion they just regurgitate whatever people like McClure say it's quite astonishing.
Its me or noble? Ya ****in kidding? Mummas boy tried to milk the Kangas too..
I found that interesting and no one else picked up on it. 19yo kid said, "Either the coach goes or I do"?
So, at the point Noble was sacked, he had a 12-game teenager wanting the coach gone, which happened (with or without JHF's influence), and then the kid walks away anyway?
I'm no Noble fan, he was an ordinary coach in above his head whose utterings since being shown the door have been childish. And I'm no JHF fan - his commitment to our club was deceitful, disrespectful and should be a permanent stain on his standing in the game.
But is this right?
Hard to say. I cant listen to the audio, anyone have a clip?

If it's possible, I've lost even more respect for both of them out of this. Nevertheless, I am 100% certain Jason's feelings had nothing to do with Noble being sacked.
Apparently he didn't want to talk too much about North...even though it's a podcast about blokes who got sacked at some point.
It was actually fairly interesting otherwise - stuff about his time with Terry Wallace, the Phil Walsh tragedy and his son missing the 2023 finals. His only regret - not doing enough research before taking the North job. Mate, we'd finished 2nd last, trashed the list, been a dog's breakfast in hubs and your predecessor had gone out on stress leave. It was a shit show and you were the bloke who'd been trusted to get it going again. He admitted to being unintentionally shouty in 2022. I just wish that Ralph & McFarlane probed him more as there's a really interesting story there.
I heard this interview last week (can’t recall on what) and I must admit my first thought was directed Noble’s way and I thought Noble must have been such an ordinary coach that even JHF could see it clear as day. Both obviously not a good mix nor right for us.
Agree. Neither were long for NMFC by the time it all came to a head. And Noble, JHF and NMFC are probably all better for it.
Even if most of the list had rejected Noble by mid-2022, it would be ballsy for literally the youngest and last bloke to come into the team to get on board. Same if it came out that Harley Reid got actively behind Simmo's demise.

To be fair, there were a few people on here who lapped up that Harley Reid spew.

Wasn't it the case that Harley Reid publicly expressed his gratitude to Simmo after he was sacked? That doesn't prove whether or not he was a party to the knifing but if so, he at least had the good sense to wash his hands afterwards.
