Official Phil Gould to be the Bulldogs' new General Manager of Football

[silva]

Think it’s fair to say he has turned 2 clubs from cellar dwellers to heavyweights challenging for the title. First easts in the 90s and then Penrith with the next club role he had. And he done so using the blueprint he learnt at Canterbury. It’s time for him to repay the club that taught him how to win.

I got the impression Brandy was positive about it tbh. Gus was like a defacto father to the Alexanders when he was coaching Penrith.

I don't know that T Baz will be sleeping easy though. I would be surprised if Gus hasn't already reached out to Bennett to see what his plans are for next year. I don't thing Barrett would get the arse just yet, but I could see Bennett there in a "mentor" role and Barrett not having the full power a head coach would normally have.

Doubt it. Gus loves him and will hopefully give him the support and guidance he needs. I reckon it has been a real challenge for Barrett to operate with the football manager role vacant. Onwards, upwards

I think Baz will be very happy to have him on board, sure he realises the current shitfight has to improve VASTLY next year and Gus can only help this be achieved.Smart enough to know he needs to perform though and doesn't get a free pass just because their besties...win win imo

This COVID ad is F'd.

You getting the jab bro?

 

[Doogie]

Been taking viagra for years to get hard. Never thought it would happen again.

I'm raging naturally baby.

He was the youngest coach ever to win a premiership coaching us 1988.
Got swindled out of his job 1989.
Welcome back Gas...Let's go Bulldogs !!!

 

[Daustin]

Hansen will stick around?

I think he’s just there as a consultant so it shouldn’t hinder his ability to continue unless Gould says no which I think would be highly unlikely. Any help we can get is great and these two are up there as the best in the world in their chosen sports

 

[NPC83]

Interesting to hear he said our cap was in order and we had the flexibility to make moves if needed.

He would be all over that like a rash mate… he’s probably already discussing recruitment with Barrett

 

[B-Train]

Gus is worth taking a chance on and he'll only boost the profile of the club. He has a lot of connections with player managers and the media that will be a huge advantage.

I doubt he'll be in the position long term but hopefully he makes a huge impact however long he's in the role.

 

[Wally D]

This is amazing news. Our club will return to greatness.

He left us too early and now he is back to the mighty bulldogs for unfinished business.

Wow, this is huge news

This is a pivotal moment for the club and we can finally start to rise out of the absolute debacle and decline of the last 5 years

Congratulations to the board and powerbrokers at the club who made this happen. They didn't just settle for anybody for the role....they got the best man for the job...outstanding leadership

We now have the best General Manager of Football in the NRL bar none

He said he didn't sleep all night, that's exactly what he was doing mate

 

[repolski]

Love him or hate him…you have to respect him

 

[Kennelnator]

Gould must be on big big dollars

Sound investment

Anyone in here who thinks this is a bad move must enjoy playing for the spoon every year

Phil talking about his appointment on CH9

So in hindsight we should be thanking Wuhan for Gus accepting the GM role at the Dogs.
