We need clarity over who is staying, & who is leaving, Earps, Zelem, Garcia, & Parris all have their current contracts expiring at the end of June, plus will Williams stay on again.....with full respect, she is an absolute legend of the game, no doubt about that, but she is shall we say.....more advanced in years these days....
Then there is the issue with Polly and John leaving this summer, plus Matt is only on a shirt term move with the women's setup....where are the personnel who will seek out and find these players that we so desperately need to close the gap on the teams above us??
We are already playing catchup, and if say Viv joins City as rumoured, then once again, we will be starting even further behind.....there just doesn't seem the impetus, the desire to really improve the women's side, not least whilst the men's side seemingly takes priority.....
Players dont want to join under marc skinner management
Even players with one year left dont trust he will play them
