Maybe it was from this interview from Taylor himself:

Ah yes, thanks.

More to the point is do they care about the team/ situation ?

So frustrating that a club as progressive as City is allowing this situation to continue.

For the first time, the Deloitte football money list has published womens details.

We are the 3rd highest turnover in the World yet we have sub standard management and cannot keep our best players.

The published 202122 figures have turnover:
1. Barcelona 6.8 Million
2. Rags 5.3
3. Us 4.5
4. PSG 3.2
5. Arsenal 1.9
6. Spurs 1.8
7. Chelsea 1,6
8. Bayurn 1.5

You have to say with the turnover, the club is under performing in the league and also by getting knocked out in qualifying rounds in the CL for the last few seasons.

if they extend his contract that tells us they are not bothered with success for the womens team

Getting RM in consecutive seasons was "unfortunate" (or other) when you look who other teams got.

I don’t know what priority the Club give to the women's team, but I know what I see out on the pitch. Slow, boring, predictable football with a complete lack of intensity. Two wingers who should be doing much better, no midfield to speak of and a goalkeeper that flaps under pressure. The players should be doing much better so the problem must lie in the coaching.

The whole Women’s set up is drifting…. We are getting left behind. Think we are settling for a presence in the WSL but lack the drive to be the best. The appointment and retention of Taylor tells us how seriously the club take the women’s team.

Real one season and Atletico the next, or vice versa. Some of the teams that 'qualified' were no more than fodder. Just makes me wonder if there's a microwave employed in the women's game!

Every time we play an under par game such as the last one v Villa the coach's explanation always seems to exonerate himself from any responsibility. Hemp, particularly is probably the best winger in the league. She can consistently beat the full back or full backs and then it fizzles out 'cos we are operating on the hundreds and thousands recipe of missing a chance but expecting another to roll up shortly. If we don't get some intensity injected into the team - the game at Leigh Sports Village will be an interesting one - the likes of Lauren Hemp might eye a move out. Yer right about the slow, predictable football - it's a gift to less talented teams who simply have to press, run around the pitch for ninety minutes and hope they catch a bit of poor defending at our end - which just about sums up the Villa game.
