BetterRedthanBlue Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Noticed in the OS that we've listed the women's head coach job as a vacancy. Seems a bit strange we don't have a replacement lined up straight away when we agreed to go our separate ways from Willie Kirk. It seems like if this was the men's team there'd probably be an outrage that no one was lined up to replace Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the river runs Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Don't see the point of Lansdown buying it and then not putting enough money in to make them competitive. The game is growing Man city / chelsea got money so city could be right up there with some investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 WIllie looks to have had a crunch talk with the organisation and it fell short of his estimations - hence he has decided to go elsewhere. I'm not sure if his contract was up or he just felt it was no use him continuing for another season. His departure leaves the club with some egg on their faces, but with the close season to sort it out. The website declared what the role is and what's expected. No mention of how much of B.S. funds are going to be put into it, but clearly not as much as the top runners in WSL1. 1 hour ago, Dylan said: Don't see the point of Lansdown buying it and then not putting enough money in to make them competitive.

Perhaps the main problem? 1 hour ago, Dylan said: Couple of thousand like rovers I think the average gate for the season just ended was under 1,000. That said, it was up on the previous in WSL2, but less than the 'glory days' under Mark Sampson/Dave Edmundson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the river runs Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 They're not getting paid millions mate. Some of the ladies playing for city aren't earning anything apparently.

How can anyone justify paying any women footballers 70 grand, with an average attendance of just under 2 grand for the top teams only, that’s financial suicide and I’m glad we’re not doing the same.

Lanterne Rouge Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Womens` football (and I speak as someone who enjoys watching occasional games on TV) will always be the poor relation unless and until Sky decide to cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When the river runs Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 OK fair enough the attendance's aren't great ,however apparently most of the money is generated by TV rights which BT have at the moment. The game is growing and for them to go forward the manager would need investment. Willie kirk wasn't getting that so he's basically a sitting duck , also players will be bound to leave if not getting paid. Basically the women's team are an amateur team under bristol city's name by the look of it and looks good for equality from the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy082005 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Let's be brutally honest...women's football is shocking . It's like womens boxing. You can shove Katie Taylor in everyone's faces as much as you want...but it will never be as good, or as popular...as the men's sport. We live in a day and age where you can't say that though. If you do...your branded as 'sexist'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do...your branded as 'sexist'. It'll never be as popular or as good but I wouldn't say it is shocking at all. Skill levels have shot up over the past ten year - real problem is with the keepers. It is a bit annoying how BBC put such a big emphasis on it though. I really enjoyed England cricket in the final last year so things are improving in women's sport in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than I thought they'd be. I was surprised just how good some are. I've seen quite a few games now and there is some real quality. For me if there was an atmosphere a bit of edge like the men's it would be great but that will never happen. Men's football is tribal and that's what makes it what it is I think personally. I've been to a few stinkers at the gate this season, its not always great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
