Canterbury legend George Peponis has taken aim at the Bulldogs for axing good friend and chief executive Andrew Hill at short notice.
The Sydney club, notorious for its boardroom dramas, is now without a CEO, head of football and head of commercial just two months out from the season.
Bulldogs CEO Andrew Hill, centre, has been moved on.
Peponis has worked with Hill in the past, including at the 2017 World Cup, and was disappointed – yet hardly surprised – a good man had been let go by the so-called ‘‘Family Club’’.
Despite a club press release claiming Hill had resigned, Hill was told by chairman John Khoury late on Monday his services were no longer required. He inked an extension just last year and guided the club through one of its toughest periods in history.
Hill recalled the story to
SEN radio on Friday of how he invited Barrett to put forward some suggestions for experienced coaching figures for development opportunities for the club as it embarks on a rebuilding phase after the Bulldogs named Barrett as their new head coach from 2021 back in July. “He came back about 24 hours later and said ‘Hilly what do you think about Steve Hansen?’ and I said ‘yeah perfect, that’s the type of bloke we want but let me know who you think we can get and I’ll work on it.’ He said ‘well do you want his home or his mobile number?’
