IT’S OVER: Disappointment Hits BlueBet Stadium as Panthers CFO Steps Down
According to sources close to the club, Luszczynski officially submitted his resignation letter late last night, bringing an abrupt end to his tenure in one of the NRL’s most stable front offices. The announcement was confirmed by the club early today, sparking widespread speculation about what went wrong behind the scenes.
A Sudden Exit
Club officials described the decision as “unexpected,” with several players and staff reportedly learning of the resignation only hours before the public announcement.
“This came as a complete surprise,” one unnamed source said. “There were no public signs of trouble — everything appeared business as usual.”
So… Why Did He Resign?
While rumors began swirling almost immediately, insiders suggest the resignation stemmed from internal disagreements over the club’s long-term financial direction, including concerns about budgeting priorities, commercial partnerships, and future expansion strategies.
Sources claim Luszczynski had grown increasingly frustrated in recent months, feeling that his financial recommendations were being sidelined as the club pushed aggressively toward ambitious growth plans.
“It wasn’t one big blow-up,” another source revealed. “It was a buildup. Philosophical differences, pressure, and burnout all played a role.”
Importantly, the club emphasized that the resignation was not related to misconduct or financial irregularities.
What This Means for the Panthers
With the season still in full swing, the timing couldn’t be worse. The Panthers now face the challenge of maintaining financial stability while searching for a replacement in a highly competitive market.
Fans have taken to social media expressing disappointment, confusion, and concern about what this leadership shake-up could mean for the club’s future.
What Happens Next?
The Panthers are expected to appoint an interim CFO in the coming days while launching a formal recruitment process. Meanwhile, questions remain unanswered — and speculation continues to grow.
