I don't weep for millionaires though.

Further to previous posts, reckon there will be about 3 on the bench for tomorrow night. Fingers crossed, squad looking thin and can't risk any injuries!
 
Really? You think so? She's long serving as well isn't she? You would think City would've have put something out if she was released? Classless if they haven't bothered. Guess we'll watch this space...
No reply on twitter so far which tells a story itself. I really liked her as a player and, as you said, she (was) one of our long serving players.

I love City and am, clearly, soft on the ladies team but this cutthroat attitude to our homegrown girls is really starting to wear thin with me. For the present I'll blame Cushing for the lack of faith we have been putting in the local girls but, long term, the club need to be more transparent in the comings and goings if they want me to keep following the team.
 
In an ideal world they would. it's a tad more difficult when a player is on £100+k a week with a number of years left on their contracts though.
I don't think any of the ladies are anything more than a two year contract and most of those on professional contracts are really on a weekly salary plus a second job working at the club.

Would that we could bin off some of the senior men's players though.

True looking at the prospective bench for tomorrow it's worrying. Manager has to take the blame for lack of squad depth. You simply can't be two injuries away from problems. Stanway not available, not sure what's up with Beattie on bench and doesn't seem to have been played much in pre season. Potentially looks like only two fit midfielders.

In fairness, the squad restrictions in WSL are far harsher than we are used to. Maximum squad size is only 23 players, and I think unlike the men that that includes youth players declared. During the transfer window in the middle of the season they're only allowed to remove three players from the squad in order to add more, too. There were proposals a couple of years ago for them to only be allowed 20 players, I think, but thankfully those were shot down. Under the circumstances, they are just automatically set up to not be able to cope with runs of injuries through the squad. It also doesn't help that Nick Cushing has this strange habit of only using two out of the three subs every game.
 
Our kid and her mates are going. Last summer, I went 3/4 times with my sisters and brother. Glad one of my sisters is hooked on it, and is pushing others to watch the very entertaining MCWFC.

The hospitality at £30 seems like a fair-priced deal for the odd occasion.
 
On the squad size we have a squad of 17 when fully fit so it doesnt even reach 20. I certainly would look at the manager for not even making sure it reaches 20. End up having to use reserves who have been messed around this season.

Also Ii wasn't going to mention this but seeing as the youth has been mentioned again this thread, I went down to watch as girls U14 game for City as a they play near but never had a chance to see what the younger sides are up to. They got beat 10-2 but Curzon! I know the result is the end of it at their age but pretty bad. I stood with the parents and got chatting about the senior age groups etc, what struck me is the concern that it appears that City haven't delivered on anything the youth side of it has been promised.If we are to produce younger players then we're not making a good start 3 years into the WSL / Womens project. Someone more senior is to blame.

Could be talking about the man's team.

Also ;
The squad cap

Same rule as last year 40 players including first team and reserves plus two extra on short term loan

Each Club is entitled to register:

a maximum of 40 Players (including Players on Long Term Loan) each Playing Season; and

an additional 2 Players each Playing Season on Short Term Loan (the “Squad Cap”).

The Squad Cap includes Player registrations for the Competition and Player registrations for the FA WSL Development League team.

Subject to Rules 8.54 to 8.58, if a Player is registered with a Club to play in the Competition for the Playing Season, that Player shall continue to count towards the Squad Cap for the remainder of the Season even if that Player stops playing for the Club during the Season for any reason (except if the Player is transferred to another Club).
