Monday Buzz: the man leading coup to overthrow famous Bulldog name.

Lynne Anderson knows the dogs are barking loudly at Belmore.

Away from the locker rooms another boardroom brawl is looming over her future as chair.

A move is likely to be made within the next few days to try to talk Anderson into standing down.

Anyone would think they are going as bad as the Broncos such is the bitterness and unrest. It doesn’t matter that their expectations were nothing like Brisbane’s at the beginning of the year.

Disgruntled members are trying to gather enough numbers to call for an extraordinary general meeting, the equivalent of a no-confidence vote in the board.

Anderson knows what is happening behind the scenes. “When you’re down there are plenty of people wanting to throw stones and kick you,” she says, “I’m aware of it and I’m not surprised you are hearing about it.”

The main player in the move to oust the chair is a powerful lobbying specialist at Belmore and the same man who engineered the last boardroom coup to remove Ray Dib in early 2018.

He has now turned on the board, urged on by members, and officials with whom he had lunch with in Parramatta last Wednesday.

Right now the Bulldogs are seriously struggling. It’s not just about the two competition points each weekend, their position on the ladder or the game against the Rabbitohs on Sunday evening.

They have no major sponsor, no permanent home ground, no new signings outside of English forward Luke Thompson, and still no decision has been made on a coach for 2021 and beyond.

The delay in making a decision on Dean Pay is hurting their recruitment plans. No more big-name players will commit to the club until they know who is coaching the side.

The team’s poor roster and performances are making it impossible to sign a major sponsor, particularly with the corporate world struggling post COVID-19. Both their leagues club and football club lost millions of dollars last year, long before COVID-19. The league’s club is $45 million in debt but has a $100 million property asset in Liverpool.

Your columnist asked Anderson over the weekend if she would be prepared to walk away.

“I haven’t even thought about it,” she said. “We’re in a situation where we know we have to do better and no-one is denying that. It’s been a challenge over the last two and a half years but we’re moving forward. Other clubs have had tough years. Parramatta and Newcastle. They were given time to rebuild.”

There has also been suggestions the Lynne’s husband, former premiership winning coach Chris Anderson, is interfering in management areas where he shouldn’t be. He was forced to stand down from the board over a collapsed business, owing millions of dollars. Lynne denies Chris is still involved.

Still, the new board promised a lot but has delivered virtually nothing.

“They procrastinate over everything and can’t make a decision,” said one insider.

The Bulldogs have finished 12th, 12th and 11th in the last three years and are currently sitting on the bottom of the premiership table.

Anderson makes no apologies for her loyalty to Pay and the fact a decision has been delayed to give him every chance to win some football games.

Plus she is hoping the members show her the same faith and patience.

Loyalties are one thing supporting a total train wreck are another especially as they came to be elected promising to get the train back on the tracks but instead the train ran backwards and then wrecked. Sitting on one's hands does not fix or encourage passengers to climb aboard on a patched up train. I rest my comments

Did they actually name this 'main player' anywhere in the article?

What? Actual names in an article? Do you know anything about "journalism"? Be as vague as possible without offering ANY substance. "journalists" or as I call them bloggers only genuine source is a bunch of faux outraged cunts on tweeter to beef up their shitty articles/blog posts. Here's a typical article:

Which Sydney Based Player Is Offisde With His Teammates?

Current date goes here
Bloggers name goes here

This blogger understand that a prominent football player who wears football boots when he plays football is Offisde with his current team mates. The football player who wears football boots had a previous team he played for which currently is in the NRL.

Social media has blown up, the internet has broken as people tear shreds, take down and destroy the assumed player who wears football boots and a Jersey.

There is further speculation about nothing but words are needed to beef up this article because I couldn't be bothered sifting through social media to find more quotes from random asswipes but need to make it at least three paragraphs so it at least kind of resembles and article and not something a 14 year old on Facegrams came up with in the matter of seconds.

Fuck, I just gave the media their next article...

Logical process of deducation wouldn't take long to figure out who it was.

I liken the previous scenario as "a race to the bottom".

When you have two sides, neither are great, the one that performed the worst goes. It wasn't that the current mob were presenting anything better, it's that the previous mob made such a mess of things that members had no other option but to look elsewhere.

I mean at the time I highlighted the sheer unprofessionalism of the current mob. Shit like spelling mistakes in bios, poorly written and formatted information. A letter that was sent to fans written in Microsoft Word and just attached to a website/email.

Really sloopy from day dot, and if it was a business you were dealing with, they'd have failed due diligence real early on.

As humans we learn from our mistakes. The members need to do this, get together, form a vote of no confidence, and get in THE BEST PEOPLE FOR THE JOB, rather than "not the worst people for the job".

I was vocal about this shit a while back, and largely got over it, moved on, and was willing to give them a chance, but this is now turning into a case of slowly suffocating the club and its fans, rather than a quick strangulation.


Fixed that

I was there with you mate one of the only ones who wanted to stick with the devil we knew in the old board and get a new coach... Anyways we would have been in the shit either way, yet slightly better off with Dib learning from his errors. Lyne and Chris are hopeless in every category, 100% we don't get Thompson if the previous admin didn't get Jammer, recruitment by association imo.

Yeah I was pretty loud and vocal, and then was prepared to give them a chance anyway. They've failed on all accounts though and the constant excuses have worn thin.

anything to keep my son from changing teams (he’s nearly 5, he’ll have his own mind soon, this generation is like that unfortunately)

Becarful bro - my nephew is 6 and well and truly entranced into the dogs. His cousins tried to convince him to go for the Rooster. When I found that out he got the biggest drilling of his life and has never contemplated such filthy, evil language. To be sure, I bought him a Bulldogs Rav-4 for $10 from Australia post LOL. You'll be surprised how much a little toy like that can change them

 

[BomberBurton]

Do we know who the ringleader is this time around?
I've a guess, yet will refrain for the moment.

 

[BomberBurton]

Fixed that

But, but, butt... virtue signalling, woke, SJW...

 

[BomberBurton]

Why is our board so quiet?
Fuck you Anderson and Hill bunch of money hungry cunts.

Because they're grubs.
Lynne did SFA @ Titans to resurrect them, so why some thought she was our saviour I've NFI.
As for Chris, his best work was done @ the Storm out of spite against us!
