Bulldogs chief executive Todd Greenberg says the NRL club may consider relocating to the NSW central coast.
The embattled club is yet to secure any sponsorship deals for next season and following the loss of their biggest star Sonny Bill Williams and a dismal season, the club is facing a $2 million gap in its coffers.
Greenberg told News Limited while a move to Gosford had not been discussed at board level, the NRL's golden handshake that accompanies the move is enticing, especially as the financial squeeze in Sydney threatens the viability of clubs.
The NRL has offered $8 million as a starting point to a club that relocates.
"It's not been discussed at board level - ever," Greenberg told The Australian.
"I reckon every Sydney club NRL chief executive should be looking at Gosford.
"If you don't look at it, you haven't done your job. You would be silly not to look at it."
Greenberg also admits that the move from Belmore to Olympic Park hasn't been ideal.
"We have had some frustrations and roadblocks in our current situation at Sydney Olympic Park," he said."
"It certainly hasn't transpired as we would have hoped. We're looking at a range of options going forward.
"Everyone should be looking at Gosford."
