Daniel Levy has offered his own idea: the WSL should become closed competition without promotion or relegation.

Just as the Women's Super League (WSL) is figuring out how to decouple from the English FA and chart a new, independent future, Tottenham Hotspur owner Daniel Levy has offered his own idea: the WSL should become closed competition without promotion or relegation.

reading through this article Levy should be ashamed of how the womens team have been regarded and dealt with.

Heard about this last week, as a supporter of the WSL team about to get relegated this season I offer this response to Mr Levy - piss off ya jammy wanker!

In all seriousness what needs to happen is a lot of expansion and investment, not creating a little club at the top nobody else can break into. The inconsistency of game time is hurting the women's game both off the pitch and on it.

Chairman of club without a manager and about to go down in 'lets do away with relegation' shock

Don't Care. I don't follow Women's football, it has as much bearing to me as county cricket, couldn't give a fuck.

And I'm a bit bored of women's football being shoved down my throat tbh.

Bored that it seems every match on TV has to have a woman commentator/pundit/analyst.

Better than most of the shit that commentates on the men's game.

I've watched spurs women and there are some decent players. It's nice to take.my boy to a game and not worry what he's gonna hear.

I think this emoji sums this up from Levy.

Tbf the women pundits are a lot better than the majority of male pundits.

Why does it make any difference to you whether the pundits are male or female?

Apart from the one during the world cup who professed that Skriniar was one of the 'best in the world at that' when he turned and fired a rocket in' he's a CB ffs.

can't remember who she was but that piece of commentary still annoys me, tbh most of the commentary these days annoys me.

And that's great, I'm just saying I'm not interested in women's football so I don't care.

Because there was no pundits, now almost every game has a female commentator in some capacity. I prefer the men to commentate/pundit on our game, and the woman can do theirs.

Considering Levy, always tries to be at a net spend at best on the main team, and complains about not being able to compete with others, you'd think he'd take the opportunity to invest in the womens team. A may try and get them up there with Chelsea/Arsenal and whoever is is good at set your place at the top early while it's all in it's infancy.

But no, he wants the American style league instead

Why are you in this thread then? Bizarre

Ah, the old "shoved down my throat" complaint.

 

[Jamturk]

I presume he feels the same about the Mens game.

The comments were from the Cambridge interview he gave the other week. He was saying that the women’s game is losing money and is therefore unsustainable. One way that owners could be prepared to continue to throw money at it would be to remove the risk of relegation. That would allow teams not at the top end of the table to invest heavily without the risk of the team losing its professional standing.

For a club of our size you’d think we could take the financial hit if things go wrong.

Because it's a debate and I added my opinion, it's a forum after all.

They did break the British transfer record in January to buy Beth England from Chelsea to be fair, the problem is that the top 4 teams (Chelsea, Arse, Man City & Man United) are so far ahead of everybody else that it's going to take a good while for anybody to catch up with them.

Then don't derail the debate with casual sexism.

Spurs are doing a double header for the Brentford Game with the ladies match following the mens game. I wonder how many people will stay for the ladies game, probably a good number i guess.

It is hard enough to compete with the super clubs (city etc) as it is but it will become even harder when the ladies get their "equal" pay. Normal clubs like Spurs will suffer as it will mean money taken from the mens turnover used to supplement the ladies. This will create a greater divide between the super clubs and normal clubs. The ladies wages should be based on the turnover they generate, if it is less, they should get less, likewise, if they generate more money than men, then they should earn more.
