Wonder if she will join Reading or another WSL team as previously rumoured. Interesting that the club haven't announced a retained list yet. Guessing they may wait for players to see who the Head Coach will be for next season before committing or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 The 2021/22 FA Women's Championship season will kick off on the bank holiday weekend of Saturday August 28th. Hopefully by then we'll have a head coach & know where our home games will be played. Oh, and have more new players! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamdon Mart Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Ebony Salmon came off the bench for her Racing Louisville debut last night and scored within a minute. Good luck to her, would have been easy to stay in this country but she's left her comfort zone and fair play. ETA - my apologies. In my excitement, I didn't check to see if anyone else has posted. Still, the goal is good enough to be posted twice IMO. Edited June 21, 2021 by Hamdon Mart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Hoping this is a good appointment. Don't really know much about her other than recently being assistant coach at Spurs. Wasn't even aware she was at the club before for seven years (mostly in smaller roles) Hopefully this announcement will mean players will want to stay on for the season.

Erithacus Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Official site says 'Interim' coach and implies for the new season. No mention of Oxtoby. Hmmm. Lauren was a backroom staff member for a good few years and knows the club, but has not been here for the last four. I hope this is a good call by those who make the decisions and that it will be a foundation for a drive to return to the WSL. We'll wait for news about the playing squad and if that makes a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the original advert said it was 12-month maternity cover, Oxtoby is still on maternity leave. I personally wouldn't want her to come back given most of the results under her management. Will be interesting to see what assistant coaches will join Smith, as there currently aren't any! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pretty much ran the day-to-day of the club. His appointment was very significant considering that there was no General Manager in the 2019/20 season as the position couldn't be filled. His appointment wasn't publicly announced at the time, but he's been extremely helpful, not just in being a contact in regards to the Vixencast podcast, but was also helpful in being a point of contact when we in the Supporters Club & Trust raised queries. I just hope that the next General Manager etc will be as useful!

shahanshahan Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/city-women-trio-depart/ Jasmine Matthews, Yana Daniëls & Jemma Purfield have all left. Jas & Yana originally left City to join Liverpool then rejoined a few years back. Yana is apparently rumoured to go back to Liverpool from what I've seen elsewhere, but not sure on the other two. Feel sorry for Jemma, who last year left Liverpool, and has ended up playing for two clubs that both got relegated in subsequent seasons.

It now says on the article "The 24-year-old signed a one-year deal prior to the 2020/21 season with an option for a second, which was not activated by the player" Then why say it was a two year deal in the first place!?
