Saracens owner Dominic Silvester has expressed his unwavering support for chief executive Ed Coetzee, firmly dismissing allegations of "executive-level chaos" within the club. In an open letter posted on Saracens' official website, Silvester responded to a The Times article that suggested turmoil followed his takeover from former owner Nigel Wray in 2022.

Silvester emphasized the board's full confidence in Coetzee, highlighting his significant achievements since his appointment in July. He stated, "The board has full confidence in Ed and his team," asserting their capability to elevate standards throughout the club and enhance financial sustainability.

The article in question noted Coetzee as the club's third chief executive in two years and pointed to a high turnover of staff, raising concerns about potential reluctance from sponsors to engage with the club. However, Silvester countered these claims by outlining Coetzee's accomplishments, which include:

• Hosting the all-female athletics meeting Athlos
• Organizing the Gaelic football match between Mayo and Kerry at the StoneX Stadium
• Securing new commercial and hospitality partnerships
• Strengthening the executive team with Jason Thomas as chief financial officer and Rob Cook as chief operating officer

Silvester concluded his letter by reaffirming the team's ambition and commitment to building a financially sustainable business while pursuing high-performance sporting goals. He stated, "We are ambitious about our future, realistic about the work required to achieve our goals and united in our commitment to taking Saracens forward."
