Two weeks is a long time in the NRL.
Just 13 days ago Phil Gould lambasted the “childish” media after they speculated Trent Barrett’s job was under threat following the former’s takeover of a training Bulldogs session.
Now it has been revealed Barrett quit his post Bulldogs post on Sunday night as both parties agreed to part ways as the best course of action
Earlier on Monday The Daily Telegraph’s Phil Rothfield told Big Sports Breakfast that Barrett would not surivive an emergency meeting Monday to discuss his future.
What’s more, Rothfield said the club would “orchestrate” Barrett’s impending sacking as a board decision but that Gould’s fingerprints would be all over it.
“People with any real knowledge of the situation know Gus has more power than the chairman, CEO or anybody within the club and it’s his decision.”
“What will happen is Trent Barrett, it will be orchestrated that (Barrett) resigns and stands down and says publicly he’s not in position to take the team forward.”
