Surprised by this:
His contract ends this season. Most of us (myself included) are/were hoping it wouldn't be extended.So is he out of contract this summer, or is this one more year on top of whatever he's got left at the moment?
If it's one more year only at least there's light at the end of the tunnel.
You are Sid the SexistSo much for "holistic one club" approach.
Seems the ladies are being sidelined to keep a mate in a job.
If the club think that highly of him move him into another role and go tits out to find the best coach possible and backroom staff to make the women's team as formidable as the men's.
I'm not totally surprised. Think the new Women's team director of football probably wants to get a better feel of things before making changes (hence only a 1 year extension). Also there's been some talk from the players this season saying how together they are. Could also be that there just aren't any viable alternatives (yeah, I know) that are avaialble this year.

Agree, more looking over our shoulder at 5th place than challenging the top 3 under himWith the men's teams being so successful at all levels this season, this is the most disappointing news, and one I definitely did not want to hear.
For such a progressive club, keeping Taylor in post is most disappointing and suggests that the club aren't that bothered about the women's team or their standing in the WSL.
Looking like Chelsea, Arsenal and the rags are going to be the teams seriously chasing the trophys.

Just thinking that myself.Could his resigning be because there is no one else available. I know nothing about the availability of women’s football coaches.
Just thinking that myself.
Maybe we have a target but Taylor will do next season whilst everything else is prepared for the newbie behind the scenes.
I see Taylor is telling the Official site he’s excited to get more out of the squad! Perhaps he should have thought about that at the start of the season - not with one game to go. He’s got a squad of players who have underperformed and he comes out with this claptrap. Move him on.
Well with no Europe next season he will have more time to improve the squad as in coaching tactics! We will see next season if he is really any good
Was personally hoping that he wouldn't be trusted to have any further impact upon the players .
Mention of a contract extension for him is depressing imo.
I get what you are saying, but my concern is that following the player departures last season linked with " suggestions that it was due ( at least in part ) to his team management approach", our current quality players also become disillusioned with him and look to leave.Been a weird season with all the injuries players leaving! Next year he has to deliver
Allowing all of our first choice midfield to leave at the same time was criminal planning (or lack thereof) and the late departure of Walsh was definitely a downer for the start of the season. The underwhelming signing (at the time) of Yui Hasegawa has certainly been a big plus though and exceeded all my expectations. Probably gets my nod for player of the season.Been a weird season with all the injuries players leaving! Next year he has to deliver
