We undeservedly got away with complete incompetence.

I wonder what that twerp Marc Skinner will have to say?

Common sense has prevailed.

Manchester City have made a bid to sign Aston Villa midfielder Laura Blindkilde Brown

Offered around £200K

Would be extremely disappointed to see her leave. We should be developing players like her, rather than signing players who have long since peaked such as Nobbs and Staniforth.....and don't get me started on Leon!!

That seems like a good deal if they can use the money to get a couple of decent centre backs…she obv has talent but at the moment is still lightweight so is decent without really excelling enough to be a huge miss right now.

I would kind of feel for them if it wasn't ManU & their arrogance.

And it's not like the ManU women's team is or has been anything special, so that has 'Steven Gerrard Villa manager, look me in the eye, levels of arrogance".

What does "Considering our options" even mean?

Deciding what to do on the day they no longer have a game in the cup for? Paintball? Manicure?

The options are unlimited to consider...

If it wasn't ManU on the shitty end of the stick, I would say that it is very harsh on the team knocked out.

But then again, we lost the 3 points for the game she played in, so is that enough punishment?

[Gareth]

They could have fixed it by just qualifying as of right.

No sympathy for them…

Their manager will be gobbing off because he knows he is on the verge of the sack

Brighton away in the quarters.

She is so lightweight, she gets bullied off the ball all the time which is frustrating to watch as she clearly has some ability.

LBB has just turned 20. She's on her way to being a very good player. With the trickle-down-the-pecking-order nature of WSL transfers, I can't see us replacing her with better before next season kicks off. I'm having trouble seeing this as anything other than a backward step. We need youth, we've got to have the oldest side in the division. Daly 32, Leon 31, Dali 32, Nobbs 31, Staniforth 31, Turner 32, Corsie 34. It's little wonder we're not improving.

You're definitely right there LFS, I'm not sure what they're playing at.

[Gareth]

Seems like it was a release fee clause being triggered

The fact (unless there is a late announcement) that they haven’t even added a loan player to replace suggests they’ve maybe given up on this season and perhaps this coach come summer?

Absolutely spot on; we'll probably spend the money on two 35yo centre-backs! Extremely upset to see Laura go.
