The womens side have declined in quality and performance pretty dramatically the past 12 months or so despite results not being too bad
Think Bronze on the right had a huge impact on the mentality of the side, probably the best player in the country so obviously a loss for them but others aka Chelsea and Arsenal have took the challenge of playing catch up well
I know a few guys who work at a club in the womens leagues and they reckon the manager Cushing is stagnating a bit & City are looking at bringing someone from the mens gama ala phil neville to change it up a bit next year
