What are peoples thoughts on Gus Gould and Arthur Laundy working together?

Gus obviously has brains across everything football related and outside of that, while Laundy obviously has business/money smarts

Everyone knows that when it comes to the big boys, the heavyweights there is always a clash of egos

Will they clash or will they get on like a house on fire?

If the stories about AL having a say in everyday proceedings along with recruitment, i think Gus will put him in line. Will Arthur cop it or will he back out into the sunset?.........

Hopefully Laundry will now see that we have a legit heavy weight Head of Football now and will let him run the show with Laundry there to help financially when required.

Agree. AL would have been advised somehow about this, being our major sponsor, one would think?

He would recognise Gould's resume for the job and see it as a bit of a coup?

Hope so anyway :grinning:

Surely this would’ve been a significant talking point in the negotiation process, for all we know they might be good mates?

The name of this thread can also refer to TPJs decision of dogs vs tigers

I think Laundy's up for whatever makes him and his business look good. Not saying he doesn't love the club but he was really out there when we were recruiting Burto and had hopes for a decent season, but he's been quiet since. He'll probably get his head out there now we've got good news.

They're both huge ego's but I doubt Laundy will get too close to the footy unless Gus invites him.

Gus takes care of the football side, Laundy of the business side.

Can’t have one without the other if you want to be successful.

I think a match made in heaven. Laundy would want the best mind money could buy leading the club. He’s a business man and what better advertisement than the Bulldogs doing premiership laps of the ground with Laundy Hotels emblazoned on their chests.

And.... Gus knows which side his bread is buttered on (like all of us). Be silly of him to get offside with Arthur :grinning:
Agree im sure Gus is aware of the Value of wealthy sponsors throwing coin at cellar dwellers

Arthur actually doesn’t have a huge ego mate despite his success and wealth. He’s a really nice bloke who’ll chat to anyone and never lost sight of the fact that the punters in his pubs are what keep the wheels turning.

It will be Gus’ way or the highway now.
It will be. And he will demand and achieve POSITIVE results, we’ve been used to losing for SO long, that’s about to change..!!
