Falastur said:BBC Sport have done an info piece on the different teams, and predicted how they think each team will do. For us they reckon a solid mid-table finish with the intention of pushing on in the following season:

Manchester City Women
Form: New to WSL, they finished fourth in 2012-13 FA Women's Premier League.
Manager: Nick Cushing is new to coaching women's football and has coached in the club's academy teams.
Digital Ambassador: England captain Steph Houghton.
Ground: Manchester Sport City, M11 3FF. Ticket prices: £6 adults; £4 concessions. Season tickets: £48 and £30.
Prospects: Manchester City are the great unknown. Controversially introduced into the top tier instead of the more renowned women's team Doncaster Rovers Belles, City have wasted little time in flexing their financial muscles by signing an English international spine of goalkeeper Karen Bardsley, Steph Houghton, midfielder Jill Scott and striker Toni Duggan. The quartet have been joined by New Zealand international Betsy Hassett and all five train full-time. How the rest of the squad fares will be interesting, but talk of a title shot has been played down by captain Houghton and they will soon find out where they stand in the opening fixture against reigning champions Liverpool.
Sue Smith's verdict: "I've spoken to Steph Houghton and Jill Scott and they are playing down their chances, but they have been impressed by the non-international players in the team. It will be a learning curve, though, because experience counts for a lot. Perhaps a mid-table finish will be a good first season with an eye on building for next season."

Free! Something's gone wrong there and if you got them for nothing I think you might just have been lucky.

They may not have made it into the top flight but they were city's ladies team. Often wonder how they feel about being dumped and wiped from history with all the hype about "MCFC Womens" being newly formed and all the top players brought in, with no mention of the old team having even existed.

Reading the Liverpool write up it's made out that the whole team train full time and the reason they won the title last season, or was in in relation to the ten players they signed last year?
