She added: We are committed to growing the game and we are thinking about the short, medium and long-term, and how we can make the game better for everyone involved.
It’s really important for us to make sure that we’re doing the right thing for the game, and that means considering all possibilities, including potential changes to the league structure.
As we continue to explore different options, we will keep the best interests of the game at heart and work with all stakeholders to ensure that any decisions are made in the best interests of women’s football in England.
Chelsea head coach Emma Hayes: I think the league is really strong and I think it’s important that the league goes from strength to strength. I think the competition is fierce and I think that’s something that’s welcomed.
I think we have to be careful about how we expand the league, but I think it’s a good conversation to have. I think we have to be mindful of the standards of the league and the quality of the league.
It’s a balance. We want to make sure that we’re competitive and we’re attracting the best players in the world, but we also want to make sure we’re able to sustain that and build on it for the future.
