I'm sure you'll get over itThere's something a little anticlimactic about winning the title and celebrating in another team's stadium.
I know I sound so spoilt here but it just could have been a nicer day if I could attend the game and be part of the celebrations.I'm sure you'll get over it

On paper the best possible replacement for Emma Hayes. Let's hope she fits in well. Still pissed off with our sporting directors that they dithered on Emma's contract which then paved the way for her departure. Morons.Tweet

Saw some quotes today from Hayes and it seems like she really needs this break anyway. So perhaps it was going to happen regardless?On paper the best possible replacement for Emma Hayes.

At the time all reports were that she wanted a new deal and the sporting directors were wrangling over how much of an increase she deserved. I don't doubt that's how she feels now she's had 6 months of knowing that she's leaving.Saw some quotes today from Hayes and it seems like she really needs this break anyway.

Yeah that makes sense. Helped her to make the decision kind of thing.At the time all reports were that she wanted a new deal and the sporting directors were wrangling over how much of an increase she deserved. I don't doubt that's how she feels now she's had 6 months of knowing that she's leaving.

Interesting questions but if I try and answer in one hit it'll look like a dissertation in reply. So I'll do it in doses and hopefully it'll just read like a series of essaysI have some questions if someone would be kind enough to answer any of these. Sorry, but there's a lot! Things look like they're going well for women's football and the WSL. I'm trying to gauge the state of play and potential for future growth. It's just for curiosity, some of these will be more United orientated. I put my own uninformed thoughts after all of them.
There are 22 games in the WSL. Is this likely to be increased in the near future?
It's early days for big crowds and big stadiums. The main pulls of the big stadia - they're familiar, they're more central and they usually have better facilities and better public transport links. Familiarity isn't a small thing - it makes for an easier intro for fans who haven't been to women's football and fans who might want to take family/friends to a match.Attendances look healthy, often boosted by matches at the 'big stadium'. What's the future for this, and the specific draw for fans?
Is there any scope at all for an independent team not associated with an existing men's team to do well?
