Too many snakes in the Bulldogs club
We need an exterminator

 

[04 Dreaming]

Yep I predicted many months ago Khoury would not have the support to be re elected for another term as chairman and yet again im proven right. Driussi has my blessing as chairman and I wish him well. Gould will no longer have total control over our club which is a great thing

He has your blessing… who do you think you are now, the fuckin Pope?

 

[LordSidious66]

What the hell did Khoury do to deserve this? Is the new guy linked to the dib crew?

 

[Rebuilding Phase]

This is actually very surprising

This is actually very surprising

No it isn't surprising.

 

[DinkumDog]

yet again im proven right.

Just remind us Flipper of ONE other thing you’ve been right about?? You predicted a ‘bloodbath’ at the AGM and Warburton being sacked as a victim of said bloodbath yet he’s an ally of the alleged incoming Chairman?? Just ONE. We’ll wait here .

 

[Rebuilding Phase]

No it isn't surprising.

Thankyou Mrs Polly for your insight.

It didn't take Gould long to align himself with Druissi

 

[Cook]

So no more Lebos in the boardroom? Lol

PS this stuff, true or not is a meh from me.

Isn’t Joe Thomas a lebo??

 

[DinkumDog]

Did someone say something about an order of humble pie or a point being made? I’m just hearing the ongoing hum of crickets, that’s all .

 

[Bazildog]

Driussi has my blessing as chairman

I am sure he will be stoked to know you have provided your blessing..

Yes but he’s not new, he’s currently Deputy Chair.

Dont you mean it didnt take long for you and the Rayancheros to side with Druissi..? So, you are siding with someone that fully supports Gould, interesting.. Lets see how you lot talk your way out of that bullshit.

 

[LordSidious66]

Yes but he’s not new, he’s currently Deputy Chair.

This is going to be fun dude.

 

[DinkumDog]

This is going to be fun dude.

Should make for an interesting AGM on Sunday with this hanging in the air. First things first though - will need to look out for unicycles on my way to a seat .

I hope this guy isn't in there just to cause problems within the club and doesn't try and destabilise the team and brake our cap like his mate did.

Fancy that…a negative article after a win

Canterbury chairman John Khoury has confirmed he is stepping down from the role after four years at the helm.

Sources with knowledge of the situation, talking under the condition of anonymity in order to speak freely, confirmed data analytics expert Adam Driussi, the co-founder of billion-dollar business Quantium, will be elected to replace him.

Canterbury sources told this masthead there is no animosity between Khoury and his fellow directors, and he will remain on the board.

Canterbury chairman John Khoury has confirmed he is stepping down from the role after four years at the helm.

Sources with knowledge of the situation, talking under the condition of anonymity in order to speak freely, confirmed data analytics expert Adam Driussi, the co-founder of billion-dollar business Quantium, will be elected to replace him.

Canterbury sources told this masthead there is no animosity between Khoury and his fellow directors, and he will remain on the board.

Khoury will formally announce the changes and unveil the new chairman at Sunday’s annual general meeting at Canterbury League Club.

“Throughout my tenure as chairman, our board has always maintained a club-first mantra leading with actions and this is something I have always lived by,” Khoury told this masthead.

“I am very proud of what I achieved in my role as chair across all facets of the club and I have always believed in succession planning. We have a succession plan in place and we are fully committed to seeing that plan through.

“What everyone needs to know is that this is a unanimous decision. I will very much remain a dual director of both the football and league clubs of which I am very proud of. It’s sad to see news emerging ahead of the AGM and my planned update. I remain as supportive as ever of the Bulldogs and I will make my announcement as intended on Sunday.”

Khoury has overseen a tumultuous period in the club’s history, taking over from his predecessor Lynne Anderson after she and her two most trusted directors Paul Dunn and John Ballesty all resigned at an extraordinary general meeting in 2020. Khoury brought Driussi onto the board in 2022.

Driussi is an actuary and co-founded data analytics business Quantium, whose client list has included Woolworths, Commonwealth Bank, Telstra, Walmart and Qantas. In 2021, Woolworths acquired a 25 per cent stake in Quantium for $223 million.
