Interesting new year ahead. What's your take on the 2025 Euros qualifying schedule? The group phase is (provisionally) scheduled to start in April & finish in July a matter of days before the Olympics. If Olympic qualification was an issue for team GB it would surely have been an organisational nightmare from selection point of view.

Happy New Year Rich!

Re: Social Distortion, recent article by Paul Wheeler, are the sentiments expressed by the 5 players pretty much representative of the current women's' football game in your opinion? Are there takeaways that other developing sports like Rugby/Cricket can benefit from?

Re: Olympics, I think Spain will win it (still gotta qualify alongside Netherlands and Germany but still).

Got a name for NewCo yet? Any idea when it'll be announced?

Hoping all is well with you, I start a new job this year so I'm looking forward to supporting the game more financially than last year :) Who needs it most though?

Despite his relative success, Mark Skinner remains unpopular with many United fans. Do you think he can keep his job for next season without winning a cup this year (assuming United have already dropped too many points to win the WSL)?

With Newcastle looking likely to be in the Championship next season, do you expect them to make big money offers to WSL stars to drop down a level for a season and then play for Newcastle in the WSL the following season? If yes, which WSL players do you see being interested in that?

With Arsenal interest in Mary Earps supposedly off, what do you expect to happen? Will she move in January? Move in June? If so, to where? Or do you think she might actually sign an extension at United?
