Outgoing Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor has endorsed successor Maheta Molango, and urged all members to get behind his appointment. Former Brighton striker Molango will take charge of the organisation after a recruitment search conducted by an independent advisory panel. Current PFA members start to receive their ballots on Monday with 41 candidates, including Tyrone Mings and Tom Heaton, contesting 13 players' board positions. Molango and the four non-executive positions will not appear on the ballot and will be uncontested candidates elected to their position. 2:35 Sky Sports News Chief Reporter Bryan Swanson explains the 'open recruitment process' that led to Maheta Molango's appointment as the new PFA chief executive"I'm looking forward to meeting Maheta, and I have faith in the process' rigour and competitiveness," Taylor wrote in The Times.
