“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm my resignation as chief of the Salford Red Devils exploitation, a role that I was extremely proud to hold, not only as the first COO woman of the club in Super League, but as a committed and delighted person to represent Salford with professionalism, integrity and passion.
“When I joined, I saw enormous potential. I thought – and I still believe – that Salford Red Devils is a sleeping giant, a club rich in heritage, with a faithful fans and a community that deserves better. My ambition was to create a self -full and most efficient organization outside the height, offering long -term stability and growth. I gave everything to this vision.
“However, during the last months, the conditions in which I and my colleagues have been required to operate impossible for me to deliver my role to the standards that I have established myself and for the club.

“In my opinion, a strong leadership in sport requires transparency, respect, understanding of the Fandom and culture, and a desire to listen to experienced personnel. Unfortunately, I have not thought that in recent months. This environment – one of uncertainty, inadequate resources and decisions taken without collaborative consultation – has made the well -being of staff and the maintenance of operational standards.
“I am particularly sad that my time here ends without being able to implement the growth strategy and the brand plans that I have designed – those I know could have advanced the club. Although things can still happen, my concern is what may have been lost during this period, a decimated team and a historic club with its soul are torn off.

“My decision to resign was not taken lightly. I deeply care about Salford Red Devils, our supporters and people I worked alongside. I married a passionate Salfordian, have parents-in-law who are life fans, and younger family members playing the rugby league. Professional success are not in place, and where confidence between leadership and staff is necessary for professional success is not in place, and where confidence between leadership and staff is necessary for professional success is not in place, and where confidence between leadership and staff is necessary for professional success is not in place, and where confidence between leadership and staff are necessary for professional success, Leadership and the staff was carried out.
