The fact that most of the LCFC girls academy teams were axed at the end of this season suggests they have been given cost saving targets going forwards. Unless the idea is to pump this money into buying new players for the woman's squad ..?!

I did wonder if survival would bring a change around regarding the academy but was told apparently not as I’d heard a couple of months back that funding was increasing into the women’s side regardless, though how much of this is coming from the fa for their pro pathway im not sure.

Sophia Poor just announced on Instagram she's leaving LCFC. Looks like she's off to Valencia. She put in a great performance for England U17 against Spain recently. Hopefully she'll be back.

.. fantastic ti have brought Leitzig in but we could have switched Poor for either Levell our Lambourne sometime ago!!!

  How on earth is Levell still at the club, I do not know.

Kirstie Levell has announced she's leaving

...she needs to look to and work on her game, with a private coach!!!

The mistakes she made and just how poor she was, make you wonder why we ever chose her to be number 1. Lambourne was much better, but Poor is more likely to be the #1 if Leitzig chooses not to come.

 I hope she works on her game because, at the level that she is at, I would be surprised if anyone picks her up.

Abbie McManus is a shame but a bit of a Jonny Evans situation, just never fit to actually apply her class. 

 

Purfield going means I'm guessing we're making Nevins loan permanent

On a related note, Reading who we were pretty much level with all year, with them ending up relegated have just announced they are going from full time to part time as a result of their relegation https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65820385

 

A sad state of the women's game that they just aren't able to compete financially.

 

When you take a step back and look at football clubs in this country, you have the rich 6, then in the next tier down, historically, you could put another 4 clubs there of West Ham, Newcastle, Villa, & Everton - clubs with bigger grounds and followings and pretty much mainstays of the top division in the men's game (could make an argument for Leeds in there, but still they haven't really recovered from their 2004 relegation).

 

With these clubs all now interested in the women's game (except Newcastle, whose ownership values may conflict with the WSL), you look at last year's table & between them, those 9 clubs make up the top 9 places. Outside of that, it was Leicester, Brighton and Reading scraping along the bottom while some of the more historic women's teams - Yeovil, Doncaster Belles nowhere to be seen.

 

It does show the size of the task facing our women to just avoid relegation, and that the consequences of it might be more severe for the women than it is for the men.

Word was Nevin is as good as done and we’re hopeful on Leitzig & even trying for Jones (latter depends on if United can get their targets in/lines up, if they do they’re unlikely to trigger her contract extension)

 

As for the 12 out, it’s a lot, even for women’s football but its indicative of the summer we’re planning for…there’s a budget and a sizeable one at that.

 

Hopefully signifies CJ Bott has signed a new deal too, wasn’t certain of it a week or so ago.

 

Theres plenty other out of contract but they were all expected to stay.

Reading is a somewhat unique case in that the team as a whole are up shit creek due to dodgy owners who've ran it into the ground (men's team were relegated after a points deduction for breaching a financial rescue plan imposed on them by the EFL), but even in the championship most women's teams are full time professional outfits

I know Newcastle's manager and they are definitely taking it seriously now.  They've just won promotion to the third tier, have played at St James' Park three times including crowds of 28,000 and 24,000.  They have a target of Champions League football by 2027.  This has all started under the new regime - they weren't really part of the club under Mike Ashley.

 

So that will soon be another place taken up by one of the rich clubs of the men's game.

As I’ve said a few times it’ll end up if it hasn’t ready as a clone of the PL where outside of those top 6/7 it’ll be a case of trying to survive and little to no chance of winning a trophy.

 

I think that’ll be a major stumbling block to getting decent crowds and income for those outside the 6/7. How long will the men’s parent clubs continue pumping money in with little or no return. It must be costing KP  a lot of money to keep the team and Belvoir Drive for a struggling team.
