"As a player and now as an owner I know that our sport is nothing without the fans. We need football to be for everyone.
"We need football to be fair and we need competitions based on merit. Unless we protect these values the game we love is in danger…
"This so called 'Super League' is anything but 'Super'.
"This greedy and callous move would spell disaster for our grassroots, for women’s football, and the wider football community only to serve self-interested owners, who stopped caring about their fans long ago, and complete disregard for sporting merit. Tragic."
