A Relegation Vacation?
Description
In this episode we dive into the WPL’s controversial proposal to (temporarily?) hit the pause button on relegation from the Women's Super League. Val and Steve debate whether, from a business perspective, it will have its desired effect of bringing more investment into the top two tiers of English women’s football, or whether something more radical will be needed to unlock the hoped-for levels of investment.
We also explore the growing trend of multi-club ownership in women’s football and discuss whether there are meaningful synergies across women's teams, or whether they are mainly a vehicle for spreading-out financial risk in an immature market.
And Val reveals which NWSL team she’d destined to support forever.
