Broncos board to seal future of White
BRONCOS boss Paul White has thrown his future at the mercy of the board as the club wades through their crisis.
White has vowed to remain in charge of the club, for the time being, in a bid to help his organisation navigate through its most turbulent period in recent history.
The former mining executive is tipped to vacate Red Hill at the end of this year, when his contract expires, with preparations having already begun in search of their next CEO.
As revealed by News Corp Australia, the struggling Broncos are considering Brisbane Lions boss Greg Swann as a replacement to haul the bumbling club out of their crisis.
When asked yesterday about his future with the club, White said he would be at the mercy of his board to ensure a “smooth transition” with the Broncos’ next boss.
“I said at the start of the COVID-19 breakout that I would stay for the remainder with the club, as long as it took for the club to be able to recruit a new CEO,” White said.
“I planned for October this year for the time I was to finish up but I will be completely amenable to whatever the board requests of me to do, to make sure there is a smooth transition of CEO.
“For that to happen the right way, I have to be flexible in terms of how I work with my board and the club.
“The club has been enormously good to me through good and tough times and I owe it to the club that I do the right thing on exit and make sure that there’s a smooth transition.
“The board have the time and space to recruit a new CEO and for me to do the right handover.”
