Opinion Still nothing from the Club........

I guess it's more about transparency and eliminating conjecture about the details of what happened.

The only way to quell the media circus is with strong leadership and putting rumours and innuendo to rest by jumping on the story before the vultures have a field day in the media speculating on who knows what.

They need to do a better job of controlling the narrative.

They could have immediately got themselves some cred with a statement and immediately given the impression they had control of the situation.

Just got the email.

Dean Pay will step down from his role as Head Coach of the Bulldogs immediately after both parties agreed that it was in the best interests of the individual and the club to part ways.

The decision was reached after a meeting between Dean and the club following Saturday's loss to the Broncos.

Bulldogs Chief Executive Andrew Hill thanked Pay for his contribution over the past three seasons :

"These decisions are always tough, particularly when they involve someone who has been part of the Bulldogs family for a long time. The fact is though that the Club and Dean have decided that we needed to move in a different direction to take the team forward and Dean was in agreement that now was the right time for both parties to part ways.

We did not rush into this decision and have taken our time to look at what was best for the club in regard to success moving forward.

I'd like to thank Dean for his contribution over the past three years and all the hard work and passion he has given to the club.

Dean Pay expressed his thanks to the club for the opportunity to coach back at Belmore:

"I'd like to thank the Bulldogs for the opportunity to be the Head Coach at a club that has always meant so much to me."

Steve Georgallis will act as interim Head Coach until an appointment is made.

Club has emailed members, and issued a press release. I don't see the need for a press conference tbh.

 

[bullanth]

Yes I believe the playing group have been informed,decision imminent.

 

[Berries]

hang on, they are still looking for Dean's keys and laptop.

Doubt he used a laptop

 

[wendog33]

9 hours? I wish! I get about 5 with my kid getting up at the crack of dawn every day.

And you still would have been able to function enough to put out a statement lol

Im not disagreeing but it’s only been 12 hours. And they have a statement out shortly so I think they are on top of it.

Generic fill in the spaces as required but atleast it's something. Cheers, it's real then.

If he had a laptop there will be fuck all on it

So it's 0923hrs Tuesday and I just looked at the Bulldogs official site and nothing at all about what is happening. As we all know the rumours on every platform possible has been going berserk since mid evening last night. Surely something as huge as the Coach possibly quitting requires a front and center early AM the next day doesn't it? These guys are shite! At the bare minimum Lynne must step down ASAP.

Dysfunctional is an understatement.

Steve James interim coach

In no way trying to defend the club from this tripe, but I think there are a few factors (some out of our control) that we are awaiting for guidance from the NRL on:

1. We dropped our 30 man squad to 28 in the sacking of CHN and Oks
2. We then fast tracked Thompsons addition to our squad, taking our squad to 29. We may of also promoted a player (correct me if I am wrong) - so we currently either have 29 or 30 players under our cap - and now we have to re-register CHN and Oks (unless we choose to sack them, and risk further issues with that).
3. The above means we need to discuss with the NRL what the best course of action is - if we are indeed at 31 players, what does that mean for us? I don't think this threatens the cap, given that Thompson, CHN and Okunbor will have their salaries at a pro-rata rate.
4. I think their is potentially a 2 fold reasoning behind Pay's sacking; firstly, him leaving means the club can play him as the scapegoat, in the event they want those 2 boys to return to the fold. But secondly, the club did not want to back him when they were going to be in a better position.

Either way - he is officially gone. He just addressed the players and left training. Apart of me feels sorry for the bloke, but it is a results driven business. We cannot attract players at the bottom of the table, and with a coach who has largely failed to get the best out of players.

Well said. Let oka go and sign CHN. 30 players and I agree they saved Pay's scalp up to save there's.

"Steve Georgallis will act as interim Head Coach until an appointment is made." De-coded means until we have signed someone that Gus and Buzz suggest is ok..

 

[GrogDog]

Be nice to learn something directly from the Club for once instead of those RL vultures like **** etc.

 

[wendog33]

Wen it’s been 12 hours. 9 of them most people slept. Fuck me dead you people are impatient

The running of a multi million dollar sports club doesnt stop for sleeping

Those responsible for this shouldnt have got any sleep and been working into the wee small hours (with the cleaners and kitchen staff) preparing to clean up.
