There is FFP but currently it is part of club’s overall FFP which is still being sorted out - in Spain for example, Barça not being in 1:1 for the men’s senior team also impacts the finances for Femeni and a big reason why they couldn’t sign certain talents (Buhl, for example) or let others leave (Mariona & Bronze last season and Batlle this season)
Interesting example re Spain - I wasn't sure of the overall applicability / impact, so let Gemini do the walking for me on this - let me know of any obvious errors that Gemini makes!
We are going to that 7 a side end of May to practice for the new season, as we would end with 7 players

This is where the owners/leaders need to be on their A game, selling an attractive vision for the future and the concrete steps they are taking to make that happen - that's the only way to head off a mass defection. We're obviously not going down (just Leicester is a candidate for that depending on their playoff game vs Charlton Athletic) - but the starting lineup for next year could look vastly different.
And a shout out to @Ring master - thanks to you for your perspectives, inside knowledge and discretion as to when to post what you've learned.
Kitagawa and Ishikawa? I imagine Mace will attract some attention from the Big 4.
This is such a shame to read. I was already thinking Mace is likely to be somewhere else by the World Cup next year or just after it. I’d like to keep all the Japan players except Ishikawa. I’d like to try Hobson more regularly next year. Fernandez going would be a terrible shame.
Ruby actually does not want to leave. But has offers. She does not want to play CB though
Do you think it’s perceived lack of ambition of the club that’s pushing some away? Lack of a manager who knows the womens game? We really do need someone in who knows the game for scouting new players (but doesn’t play half a team out of position )
