Pretty scummy treatment from the club there. I wonder if this is just one bad egg of a club, or whether the lower reaches of the women's pyramid contain a few clubs that only really want a women's team in name only? |  |

Wonder if they could get backing to break away as their own club? There's no absolute necessity to be linked with a men's team - especially if there are no apparent benefits to the present arrangement, only negative apects. |  |

I'd hope so. Especially, as is being suggested, if the club are gladly taking the grants available in respect of women's teams, yet acting as described. | |

This is not the first men’s club to withdraw support for women’s teams and I guess it won’t be the last.
This is only to be expected. Women’s football was overexposed and over promoted in the UK following the success of the England team. However there is little depth to the women’s game and the falling back is a natural process.
The women’s game gives away tickets to get people to attend and runs match days more like boy band concerts than football matches. They cannot demand that the men’s game support them.
The women’s game needs to transition to being financially viable in their own right. That will take time and I hope they make it work. |  | | |

Men's teams are allowed to lose £105 million every three years. Not sure that counts as financial viability. | | | |

That’s about controlling the p&l account so as to “try” to achieve a level of competition.
If someone is willing for whatever reason to invest large sums into mens or women’s football, or if gate money is high enough they can be loss making but still be financially viable. I.e Man City | | | |

Interestingly, the main headline and live update reporting on the BBC football page right now is the Women’s Super League. You have to scroll all the way down the page to find mention of West Ham v Chelsea. |  |
