“It’s a worrying situation that everybody thinks the pyramid is strong and actually it’s not,” says Liverpool Feds’ general manager, Abby Pope.

“Off the pitch, it’s becoming more and more challenging to keep up. We’re now finding ourselves really seriously struggling financially."

“There are clubs that can just turn on the tap, Championship and Premier League men’s clubs who can go, ‘We’re interested in women’s football now, we’re going to throw some money at this now and move our way through the pyramid’, whereas we can’t turn on the tap. Our tap is dry,” she says."

“I’d love to find a Michele Kang [London City Lionesses owner]. I’ll keep trying to win the lottery. We want to build a matchday fan experience. It’s not grassroots football any more but you’ve got this weird hybrid of professional clubs against grassroots clubs.”

“The bee in my bonnet is the gap between the rhetoric spoken by people who don’t have to actually operate women’s football clubs and the reality faced by people who do operate women’s football clubs,” Methven went on to say.
