KFS Posted 13 January 2023 Share Posted 13 January 2023 Strengthening both ends is a great move. Any idea if they’re looking for more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 13 January 2023 Share Posted 13 January 2023 Finally got a keeper with a bit of height and presence. Hopefully puts a stop to conceding all those goals direct from corners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a shame we can't strengthen more before Sunday, Sunday's an important and winnable game. I'm expecting to see both signings start.

80footgiraffe Posted 20 January 2023 Share Posted 20 January 2023 Looks like we’re making smart moves, definitely needed. We looked a lot brighter against Brighton maybe a small chance to stay up with the changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHDrive Posted 20 January 2023 Share Posted 20 January 2023 It's like walking through an evolving door with the women's team. If the men's team had players contracts "mutually terminated" so often, it'd be a different world. Hopefully they'll stabilise more with the current managers tactics and players he wants in those roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evington Fosse Fox Posted 22 January 2023 Share Posted 22 January 2023 Mens game is where £££££££ are involved and I hope that the women's game also becomes better and stronger. But at this moment in time, it is probably an unwanted distraction for the club as all resources, so be it coaching,.money needs to be pumped into the mens team as we are dancing around the Relegation zone and in BIG trouble Let's be frank, the LCFC women's team is a joke and probably would not be able to compete with a U16 boys team. As I said, women's game is important but at this moment in time, really do not give a damm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban fox Posted 22 January 2023 Share Posted 22 January 2023 Serious question. Are there any FFP type rules in place in the women's game? Seems that the top teams are still the same as the usual suspects in the men's game (greedy 6 etc) which implies those clubs splashing the cash to get the best players. if so, presumably they have to have separate accounting or what is to stop them just using money from the mens team sponsors, commercial activity etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or that they can offset the costs of running their women's team against FFP. Something like that. Which to me just helps to ensure that the women's game looks like the men's game in terms of which clubs are successful.

It's fast becoming a clone of the PL Mens game. It would have been much better if they were independent of the men's clubs as they were for many years, sure they may have developed more slowly but we could have ended up with a balanced and financially fair league where all teams stood a chance of success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with some of your points and wished that lessons had been learned from the men’s game but if there was no affiliation with men’s teams there would be no women’s games as it is now. Affiliation has brought in supporters who weren’t bothered before, it has also transformed girls grassroots football and at the top level, the academy’s the standard is getting very high. Easily as good as the boys they play against at the same ages in many instances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said development would have been slower but there were already quite a number of established women's clubs like Doncaster Belles who have been in effect cast aside by the big PL clubs. I'm also sure that if those existing clubs had been given the massive amount of exposure the PL linked clubs have had then the Women's game would still have grown a fair bit. Anyway it's all too late the cast has been made and it wont change but I've not got any great desire to follow LCFC Women's team that have little or no chance of winning anything as like the men's team they'll never be able to match the money and Kudos the Super6 have.

It feels very familiar in relation to the men's team's position, back in the days, on the outside, looking in. It will be good to watch us grow and dream of going to finals and competing with the big boys, as I said a very familiar feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
