Canterbury chair John Khoury and his fellow directors face a nervous few weeks after nomination forms were sent out for next year’s football club elections.
A letter, signed by Bulldogs chief executive Aaron Warburton, was sent to members of the league club on Thursday calling for nominations by the end of November – the elections will be held early next year.
The Bulldogs have a long history of acrimony in the boardroom but the club has been relatively calm since Khoury took over as chair in late 2020.
However, there has been speculation in recent months of a potential challenge given the way the club has been performing on Khoury’s watch, having made little progress in terms of results on the field.
Even the arrival of Phil Gould as head of football has failed to prevent the club languishing near the foot of the ladder. Gould has churned through players and coaches but has been unable to stem the tide of failure.
It could yet come at the cost of Khoury and his fellow directors as they wait to see who nominates for the elections.
