ferguson1 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Chuffed we’re progressing the women’s squad again this summer. With the additional TV coverage of games it’ll be good to see us establish ourselves in the WSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 We've still got a lot more players to get in IMO, the squad is very thin on the quality needed to avoid another relegation battle. On a different note, I think you can see the disadvantage of opening individual player threads for the women's team today. It took months to get through to people before that they didn't need to come into this thread just to shit on women's football and announce how much they aren't interested in it, but eventually we managed to get that type of post down to a minimum. Now, with an individual player thread, all that rubbish and more is back with a vengeance. My recommendation would be not to do any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In spite of the rubbish posted in that thread, it got Villa fans talking about the women’s team. Some of those might be stay interested going forward, even a few of those posting rubbish. Also, why shouldn’t there be a separate thread for a Villa player. just because someone might post nonsense into it? I think that one thread has increased the profile of Villa women’s team by 1000%. Basically normalise it rather than hide away, is my thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Second signing in. Carla Ward hopefully building a strong squad and we can have a real go this coming season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Bit early to jump to any conclusions here but if we treat the women’s team similar to our other teams throughout the club, then we can breed a real winning mentality. From top to the very bottom, we seem to be doing everything very professionally and this can only be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted July 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2021 They are obviously going to completely overhaul the squad with better, more established players than all those released at the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Probably a silly question but does the women's team have any impact on ffp, as in are we able to write off costs to help our ffp bottom line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they're a completely separate organisation so have no effect, but someone with a better understanding of FFP and the intricacies holding companies, etc may correct me!

Basically spend what you like, it will be ignored in the FFP calc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, does any income count towards our bottom line, like if the women's we really did well and shirt sales went ridiculously well say, can we count it.

They are still free to watch aren't they or are they changing that Inthe upcoming season, last season you could watch the WSL free. Not sure what would make the Women's football count towards FFP? I should imagine when more money is being made from the women's football then it maybe talked about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 The players we are signing seem to be signings of some of the better players from the teams around us toward the bottom of the table, so I think the hope for next season should be a bit of incremental improvement and hopefully putting a few more teams between ourselves and the drop. It's not going to be a step change in the level of the team IMO (not sure if anyone is expecting that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Boye-Hlorkah played thirteen times for Everton last season, that's for a team that finished as the 'best of the rest' and with more than double the amount of points that we finished with, signing players like her and Lehman seems like a good strategy to help us improve and start gradually moving up the table. Hopefully Mayling and Allen can with that as well, Allen has apparently only played one season in her career outside the WSL so has good experience and seems Mayling has a lot of experience as well.
