Within the face of such a show of disrespect and incapability to recognise one’s errors and take accountability, I state right here and now to everybody of my resolution to not play for the Nationwide Group once more whereas the present leaders stay.

‘Thanks all for the messages of assist and inspiring phrases acquired. I do know I’m not alone, and due to all of you, we are going to push ahead extra united than ever.
