Could this be a hint that we're looking to make a statement appointment in the managers position? We may be able to convince players with a combination of competitive salaries and an exciting project.

I can't see how you can renew him at this point with how the season has gone. The results of last season were fantastic pushing Chelsea to the last day and making the cup final, but there was still some discontent over how we performed at times. Then in the summer we made some quite exciting...

As much as I think the club is a shambles in all aspects expecially when it comes to negotiations for things such as contract extensions, I still don't think Russo has earned a warm reception. She wasn't here that long in the grand scheme of things and the fact it seemed destined she was leaving...

in the men’s game there’s constant transfer news well before the club has announced things officially. This is quite unique to the women’s game because it’s nowhere near as heavily covered and for some reason clubs don’t like to announce signings even when it’s officially done. Just look at the...

What is wrong with it? The transfer will be leaked eventually anyway by a journalist or itk eventually, why does it matter that the initial public leak is from a family member? It’s not like it’s even a post announcing it, just a comment that someone spotted and highlighted wider.

Well I'd hope that we see some real rotation out of Skinner this season with our depth now starting to include some really good players. We'll see how far we get in the UWCL first though as that will have an effect on how many games we have to play. I think if we brought in Kerolin in January a...

I still see us going for Kerolin in January. She played in midfield for Brazil, but she is most definitely a forward for her club and is one of the top scorers in the NWSL. She'd be an upgrade on the likes of Martha Thomas, Rachel Williams & Nikita Parris in those positions.

Looks like it's been moved to Saturday, to be played at Carrington. Then Liverpool on the 13th & Spurs on the 17th. Looks like there is no official 'game' against Bayern, but instead a training camp in Germany.

The idea that Dortmund are interested with a decent fee worries me. I'd probably take the money, but with a buy back clause as if he puts it together Hannibal could be absolute class.

Robinson would be a good signing and fits our business style like the Le Tissier signing did last season. Hopefully it happens and the results are as positive as they have been with Maya.

Replace "club" with "owners" and "Women's team" with "club" and it's still so relevant. The entire club is just stuck on pause waiting for the ownership sage to end and even before that was in a permanent slow motion on everything it tried to do.

Ah I knew of their relationship, but didn't realise it was over. They seemed friendly enough after the Villa games though so I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue if we could tempt her away. I swear I read that she only renewed for 1 season last year?

Why would her relationship with Millie stop her joining? You're right though about the contract, Villa are under no pressure to sell unless she forces her way out. Speaking of replacements though and Russo likely going to Arsenal, Miedema is out of contract now isn't she...?

Well if he doesn't want to increase his offer he probably will walk, but the Glazers/Raine are going to try their best to squeeze out anything extra they can get no matter how long it takes.

As much as we supposedly matched Arsenal's offer for Russo I completely get the line her camp are putting out there that it wasn't a money issue by the time they did. Making her a competitive offer from the get go shows you want her to stay, matching someone elses competitive offer shows you...
