Exactly - if we can't develop our own players in Womens football then what is the actual point of it ? Frustrates me that WSL sees the PL as something to mimic. Would prefer to see focus on local talent than shipping in players from overseas.
I am less concerned re the nationality of the players compared to actually signing players to Everton contracts rather than other clubs loans.
The Girls are in the 2 lowest budgest in the league - and were 31st in terms of budgets at Everton when Sorensen came. They are now even way futher down the ladder
So, staying up would perhaps be a success this season?
We will stay up, ive no doub about that. West Ham or Bristol City will to me be the 2 fighting it out to stay up. We are never getting in the top 4, and to me we wont be relegated. so Everton unless a huge amount of money is given towards the Girls, will always be aiming for 5th at the best, and probably always finish somewhere between 5th-11th. Villa have had a lot of money put into them the last few years, as have spurs, while even west ham who are fighting to stay up have made a few decent signings. though their signings have got more to do with who they go out with at our clubs etc
And via the wonders of "the Google", I answered my own question before I even posed it here - FFP applies (kind of) in the women's side, and Everton's troubles in that realm clearly affect what the women's side can expect in the near term future for spending.
