Top/King Power are bank rolling us just like the men’s team, before their takeover last summer it was just the Morgan family and you get basically nothing just for promotion, before Barclays became sponsors of the WSL you didn’t get much for winning that! The new TV money combined with Barclays sponsorship means that will start going up pretty quickly though. I didn't know the Morgan family were bankrolling it. Interesting! Surely we have the best training facility in the WSL and Women's Championship?

Certainly up there but you have clubs like spurs who share the training ground with the mens team so they will have access to better. I terms of a dedicated training ground just for their team I don't think any team has better than Leicester. 2

You’d hope there’s enough low hanging fruit to stay up. 6 wins in a 12 team league with 22 games would probably keep you up this season

They don't even have to click on the link if they don't want to. It's not plastered over the site as if no other sport matters. Very snow-flakey behaviour! I feel for anyone reading this who's interested in woman's football then has to read all the shite about it on here in this thread. Irony being the club just wins an award for being committed to equality then there's neanderthals in here who can't hack that a big match in the woman's game dared to have a little attention granted to it on the site. 4

It was the right thing to say and the right decision for her I'll be amazed if she gets a championship job offer. Although it would make a change for someone to take a gamble rather than keeping dinosaurs like Pulis in work. 1

StanSP Posted 11 February 2021 Posted 11 February 2021 What also worries me is that the OP said he has a 11y/o daughter who plays at a competitive level. So my question to OP would be - if this was your daughter that played in the game last night, would you still be having a go at the BBC for giving her/her team some airtime amongst the men's game/other sports on their website? How would your daughter feel if she saw your posts on here?

This is a classic example of the morally superior attitude that does rattle me: to view the world in black and white with the inability to see greys, which must make life a very self satisfied place to be. I started of a genuine debate relatively impassionately but making a point - which I then followed up with a response acknowledging both sides to the argument. But some people seem intent on turning a debate into an argument: Firstly they introduce the language of "crazy and rattled" and then have to resort to name calling with snow-flake and Neanderthal and then dismissing all other arguments as "shite". It really is classic that those morally superior feel the need to mis-quote, name call and be dismissive rather than let others hold differing views.

Absolutely. James Justin’s injury is by far a bigger story.
