Women's Super League 2023-24:

1. Arsenal

2. Aston Villa

3. Brighton & Hove Albion

4. Bristol City

5. Chelsea

6. Everton

7. LEICESTER CITY

8. Liverpool

9. Manchester City

10. Manchester United

11. Tottenham Hotspur

12. West Ham United

 

Start Date: 29th/30th September/1st October

End Date: 18th/19th May

 

Other Dates:

FA Cup Final: 11th/12th May - Enter 4th Round

Conti Cup Final (League Cup): 30th/31st March - Enter Group Stage (Unless there's another format change)

 

Notes:

- A later than usual start thanks to a later than usual World Cup and also a slightly earlier finish so those big breaks between games should be less prevalent this season

- Speaking of the World Cup, we should have a few players at the tournament for the first time

- Bristol City return to the top flight after a year away, they've also announced that Ashton Gate will be their main home ground this season (joining us as the only clubs to not their "proper stadium" as their main home ground)

- Arsenal are set to use the Emirates more from this season but I imagine our trip there will still be Borehamwood, other than that no other ground news so likely Spurs at Brisbane Road, West Ham at Dagenham, Brighton at Crawley, Liverpool at Tranmere, Everton at a park, Man U at Leigh, Chelsea at Kingsmeadow, Villa at Walsall & Man City at the Academy Stadium

- We are expected to invest heavily this off-season, should hear more on that in the next few weeks!

- Hard to predict anything beyond last season's top 4 being next season's top 4 just in a different order, we want to be pushing on but we'll see!

Gonna be an interesting season. Bristol feel quite ill equipped so hopefully not another relegation scrap, although all change at West ham again with Konchesky leaving so they'd be my outside pick to struggle. 

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see Spurs in top half with England up top for a whole campaign. 

 

Predictions:

Title: Arsenal (think the delay to the start of the season really benefits them in getting Mead and Miedema back) 

Relegated: Bristol City

 

Leicester: 8th

Bristol have one or two of our Championship squad in there side I think. With the departures at the end of last season there's certainly room on the wage bill & roster to get a couple more bigger names in. Howard, O'Brien & Cain is a strong spine but Hannah will need help up top because she can't do it herself and if she has anymore injury worries we're screwed. Keep Lietzig = 8th, without Lietzig 11th.

I'll admit I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to women's football. Is there FFP in the WSL? 

 

Given the relatively low cost of women's footballers, couldn't King Power "splash the cash" and build a squad to comfortably be in the top half for less than a couple of million? 

 

I know we're a club with financial concerns but it seems odd that we made a big fuss about getting to the WSL but then just seem content fvcking around in a relegation scrap losing 90% of games every year?

Effectively you can do what you want, United have started arguing for a salary cap because they don’t want to spend what Chelsea/Arsenal/Man City are paying.

How much was a season ticket last year for the women's team out of interest. 

£42 for an adult, expect that to go up somewhat though because it’s ridiculously cheap

Hence why Russo has just joined Arsenal. If people think rudkin is a bad negotiator/****ed up with Tielemans they'd blow a gasket at this situation. Turned down two world record bids for her in January with 6 months on her contract, kept her for a title race, lost it on the final day and lost her for nothing

Pretty hilarious how bad they've fumbled it so far this offseason in general, got to the Champions League for the first time and lost Russo & Ona Batlle for nothing, the latter being arguably their best player, their assistant manager has left to take a managerial role, Mary Earps is holding off on a new long term deal so they've had to activate her one year option. Emily Ramsey, their effective #2 has just left on a free today too after turning down a new offer.
