Typical sensationalist bullshit. There will be no major changes at board level and nor should there be.

They can try as hard as they like in the media to try and destabilise the club and fanbase but this time it won't work and there is no merit to it..

The fact that we hardly hear about the board proves they're doing a good job and things are settled. I've spoken briefly with JK earlier in the year and he genuinely loves the club and seems like a level headed bloke. I believe we're heading in the right direction, at least from that side of things.

Leave the bullshit politics aside coz it has nothing to do with why we've been poor onfield.

The story is written like this is something special. Every team goes through the same process every year.

Whether it be a football board or any business that has an elected board. Have to send out nominations as well as the notice of meetings etc. at set dates before the meeting. By law this happens. The need to write this article reinforces how little is going on with these gossip colum muppets masquerading as journalists.

So who nominated against him to topple him?

Article seems as clueless as you on details.
It came from the telegraph, of course there is no truth,logic or evidence to this or anything that comes from that publication . . . .Its the bullshit daily . . . Only the dullest of the dumb believe anything it proclaims

"Khoury not safe at battling Dogs"

SUNDAY SESH. Page 36. Sunday Telegraph. 29/10/2023

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.
Let me dissect these 6 paragraphs
1. No one will be nervous
2. No shit Sherlock - the CEO sends this every year as does every football club CEO.
3. When required we have had some spirited board room challenges - please don’t compare us to the bullshit that goes on at other clubs.
4. Speculation - in other words nothing factual
5. It’s the Tele so every Bulldog article must be negative and have Gould’s name in it somewhere
6. It won’t - most likely there will be no challenge / changes to the current board unless the current board wants requires it.

I'm not sold on Ciraldo just yet. But our roster is improving. We've got some red hot outside backs if they play to potential. A pair of halves that are also spoken of as having big potential. That's so far up for discussion though. We have some second row quality, but need props. Team is in a better state now than for about 6 years just based on our outside backs.

Edit
I think the signs are showing that our roster is getting to where it needs to be. People should know that the pickings are slim at this stage. I don't think the board should feel like they're under threat.

100%

It’s a normal process sending those letters. It doesn’t mean there will be a rival ticket. What a dumb article.
