Former club captain [url=http://www.reddevilsrugby.co.uk/salford-red-devils-appoint-new-c-e-o/Ian Blease[/url has been appointed new CEO.

Didn't see that one coming but I think it's a shrewd move. He knows the game, he knows business, he knows the club and he's Salfordian born & bred!!

Welcome aboard Ian.

As above, think it's a great move by the club.

Very positive move. Ian Blease knows the club and city inside out and can appreciate the difficulties we have experienced over the last 20+ years. As a former captain and current supporter this job will mean a great deal to him. Granted he has no prior experience of running a professional sports club or association but at least he knows the game inside out and his recent experience as a player agent will stand him in good stead with regards to the administrative aspects.

Nice to have some good news after the recent sh*t stuff.

This is potentially a good appointment. A CEO with RL experience and a passion for both the club and the sport. It will be interesting to see if he can make a positive impact at the club.

I hope he can somehow get more schoolkids playing our game in the Salford area
