Message: [QUOTE="Nightwatchman, post: 3172626, member: 9057"] Paul Vautin has stated his support for Ben Ikin as CEO of the Broncos. The problem with Vautin's comments is all it's done is outlined the problem with appointing Ikin for the role of CEO. Vautin suggests Ikin doesn't have alot of experience in the corporate world but could get them right on the paddock. He suggests he may need help with the corporate side of things but the Broncos 'can pick someone else to do that'. Vautin despite his good intentions has given Ikin a good reference in why Ikin should be general manager of football operations for the Broncos but not CEO. [I]Rugby league great Paul Vautin has boldly thrown his support behind Ben Ikin to take over as CEO at the Brisbane Broncos, and recruit Storm coach [URL='https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/craig-bellamy']Craig Bellamy[/URL] as his first order of business. The Broncos showed glimpses of promise in a commendable [URL='https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/live-results-brisbane-broncos-vs-penrith-panthers-start-time-scores-news-2020-round-17/beec90cc-bb33-4dce-8a7c-3be2a622b9d8']25-12 loss to ladder-leaders Penrith[/URL] at Suncorp Stadium on Thursday night. With Vautin able to identify the building blocks of a strong foundation starting to emerge at Red Hill following the loss, he emphatically called for the franchise to hand Ikin the reins and spend no expense in luring Bellamy north. Ikin, a former Bronco and the youngest player to be picked for an Origin match, [URL='https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/nrl-news-ben-ikin-brisbane-broncos-ceo-cameron-smith/207576ce-285c-46b1-a89e-f6f140460cdd']has submitted his application for the chief executive position[/URL] made vacant by Paul White at the end of the year. "Look I don't know who will coach but first of all they have to get a CEO and to me, there is only one person, that's Ben Ikin," Vautin told Macca's Golden Point. "Ben played for the Brisbane Broncos, he won a comp with them as a five-eighth. He's 42 years of age, it's the prefect age for him to enter into this realm of being a CEO of a club. "The business end of every rugby league club is what happens out on the field, that's the core of the business. "I know Ben, I know how smart he is and how intelligent he is, he can get them right on the field, that's for sure. In the corporate world he might need a bit of help, but you know what; pick someone else to do that. "I think he's worthy of a shot as the CEO, and I believe he can turn this club around in the next 10-12 years. He's a very smart man, he knows everyone in town, he's got the backing of News Limited – I think he's the perfect choice. That's what they've got to do first."
