The Dogs' woes just reached the top

There’s been drama aplenty at the Bulldogs in recent months - and I’m hearing there is more to come.
Word from Belmore is that chief executive Raelene Castle is battling to keep her job for next season.
It seems no one is immune from the witch hunt at Canterbury - coach Des Hasler, his staff and the players have all been under the miscroscope.
Several staff members were sent packing, as well as members of the top grade team.
Now the blowtorch is on Castle - a good operator who has had to deal with some tough situations at the club in the war between Hasler and the board over the past 12 months.
It’s been a difficult position for Castle to handle - and inevitably she has made some enemies.
There are elements within the club who want her out - and it will be interesting to see if she can survive what will be a demanding time over the next few months.

What war between hasler and the board?... The board only acted once the realised their cushy jobs were in jeopardy... I mean shit, they were about to give him a two year extension a couple of weeks before we were bundled out...
I hope she goes, as she has fostered a culture of ineptitude and mediocrity on and off the field... but this is just another media beat up... #journosmakestuffup... #bulldogssellpapers...

Clubs don't sack CEO's right before a season is about to start, unless they've done something criminal or inexcusable.

If anything happens regardnig this, it'll be around the time the board get voted on (from memory late next year).

Dogs have no future while she is there,ever since she turned up dogs have gone down hill and cant even attract players fukin joke!!
The board too must be held accountable for their actions; including signing Rae...

I really believe if she gets shown the door dog fans will have something to look forward to,things will change straight away and memberships will climb,they cant be that stupid to leave her in charge she has done nothing but cause greif all she is worried about is memberships and charitys and doesnt run that side well, unfortunately a premierships is there only hope to bring numbers in,so realene for the fans u should walk away and go back to netball duties and stick to what u know

I think the novelty of having a female CEO is wearing off quickly with the board, and they are starting to tire of her.

Anyone know if NZ Netball have an opening again?

I think like any organization that isnt performing , the person at the top needs to be accountable at some point..

Best thing dogs could do is Axe Castle or pressure her out and i recon the wheels would already be in motion behind the scenes.

For whom the bell tolls hey Raelene, I guess there are those on the board that believe that winning Premierships matters!!!
