Bruno steps down

[ivanhungryjak]

Brisbane Broncos chairman Darryl Somerville has announced chief executive Bruno Cullen will stand down when his contract expires on December 31.

Somerville said in a statement released on Monday, that the NRL club had employed an independent recruitment company to find a replacement for Cullen, who has been involved with the Broncos since 1989.

Somerville said he expected the process to take some months and hoping an appointment will be made in time for a handover at the end of the calendar year.

The statement said Cullen will take a break for a few months after the handover process and will then continue as a director of the company.

Congrats on a stellar career Bruno, sure you made mistakes but who hasn't. Good luck in your future career paths or retirement. Now who is chucking the Party??

Wow! I think it's a good decision. I've been a pretty vocal critic of Bruno recently and I think new blood would be great.

Still, despite my disagreements with how he's handled things really since 2007, he's been a loyal and hard working CEO for our club and deserves congratulations for all his efforts.

+1

This was announced last year. It was always said 2010 would be his final year in charge.

 

[Foordy]

i wish him all the best for the future

 

[Bannermania]

I'll put in my resume now.

 

[Ffs...]

Yep, thought he did some good and bad things as CEO, but am also more than happy to congratulate him on his hard work.

Thinking we should hold off on the party till we find out who replaces him. icon_thumbs_u

Looks like it will be an exciting time at the Broncos in the next few months.

I hope they gun for a younger man who is a bit more in touch with the way things are done these days.

Nice job all the same Bruno, good luck for your future

My tip is Andrew Gee will get the job.

 

[Nashy]

Andrew Gee? That big dopey angry forward that played for us?

 

[Kaz]

Yep

Unless there is another Andrew Gee.

Could be Andy G from idol.

Could be Andy G from idol.

Can imagine how the decision to let players go is presented.

"Wallace, Dodds, Kenny, you are the bottom three.
The first name I will read out is safe for another season.
The first Bronco safe is..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Mitchell Dodds."

(Crowd screams and cheers)

"That leaves Peter Wallace and Nick Kenny. For one of you, your Broncos journey ends tonight.
The football committee voted. And based on those votes, the Bronco journey is over for.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Peter Wallace.

And because we voted you out because you're a shit halfback, we now want you to play another game at halfback to show why we got rid of you."

Well that would certainly help with making the club appeal to new demographics.

Can't they just show him some highlights/lowlights of his games.
