MGW is not back, also Atletico rumoured to be keen on Semedo to replace Trippier! Fabio to start on Sunday? FWAW.

MGW confusion has been caused because he is back at Compton for treatment for his current injury not because of any recall. Seemingly people added 2+2 and came up with any result that suited whatever story they wished!

Worrying news regarding Neto, seems unlikely he'll play this season! FWAW and Mind the gap.

Well done ladies, last night, yet another win v the Tescos' FWAW .

Well done indeed Preston. I have a question, do the Women's teams operate with separate accounts to the men's game and is the women's game subject to ffp constraints like the men's?

For example, if City are found guilty of all that they are accused of and get relegated as a punishment how would that impact on their women's team who could have benefited in a similar fashion as the men's, being the same club.


2.) 23 Mar 2024 16:24:28
This is a very good question Long mate.
How does FFP function in the women's game?

There is a lot less financial regulation in the women's game in the United Kingdom and Europe right now and that has led to calls for changes to be made.

In the Women's Super League, there is a salary cap which allows top flight sides to spend 40% of their turnover on wages. The issue with that is that those totals can be merged with the men's team within the same club, so the likes of Manchester United Women can spend 40% of a much larger pot of cash as the overall club of Man Utd generates so much money.

Man Utd's head of group planning and finance that has been recently calling for more financial regulation in the UK women's game so that a small set of teams do not kill the competitiveness of the division.

Speaking at the European Club Association's first women's football summit, Francesca Whitfield said: "Currently in the WSL we have a salary cap system which is 40% of revenue, but that includes parent club income, meaning the larger clubs naturally benefit from shirt deals on the men's side.

"That's creating a gap that is affecting the product and this can't be something that we just address domestically, this has to be something we address on a European level to make sure the European tournaments are the best and we're at the forefront of that."

In the Premier League right now, the rules allow for total losses over a three-year period of £105m. There are penalties in place for clubs that exceed that figure. Whitfield is aware that it is not as simple as copying the rules in the men's game as it is a different financial landscape.

"We can't simply emulate or replicate what we did on the men's side, the game is in a different space and we need to ensure that we can invest but equally attract investment, " said Whitfield. "Smaller clubs are not able to invest at that level, so how do we encourage them to do so if it's not a fair playing field and they can't possibly ever be competitive with how things currently are?"


3.) 23 Mar 2024 18:26:34
Thanks for the explanation Rated. This came to mind as I was watching Man U women v Man City women earlier.

From what you've said it seems that women's football needs some form of financial regulation as currently I suspect the parent club controls the spending based on the ROI but that as you say still gives the bigger clubs an advantage.

IF we beat Cov, it will be 5 weeks 'til the S/F (20/4). Half a chance of a full squad by then! FWAW .

At least we won't be playing Arsenal on that day lol


2.) 16 Mar 2024 14:40:50
Looks like we will play Arsenal after all

If Southgate doesn't pick Max this time, he never will! Muppet!

prestonwolf

1.) 14 Mar 2024 12:02:38
He won't pick him. He'll choose tge usual club bench warmers: Maguire, Phillips etc.

The usual argument is that these players have never let him down. That is correct but the same players have never won him anything either so surely he needs players who can play differently.

Gone are the days when players were picked on form rather than reputation.


2.) 14 Mar 2024 12:57:14
You're spot on Jas, I've actually lost a lot of love for the national game due to Southgates poor tactical decisions and team call ups. The man is absolutely clueless and a decent manager would have won something by now with what many would say is the best pool of English players ever.


3.) 14 Mar 2024 15:32:31
Agree EW.
We have some great players. Sadly not the manager to match.
However, despite that, I expect the players of the quality we have to win in the summer.


4.) 14 Mar 2024 19:37:40
Southgate really is predictable.


5.) 14 Mar 2024 21:38:12
To be fair to Southgate, Max in his eyes presents as a bit of a risk as he plays in a back 3. Even GON changed from a back 4 against Fulham.

It was similar with Coady who got call ups because of his leadership qualities rather than the chance of playing.


6.) 14 Mar 2024 22:16:21
I think it's a bigger risk selecting Ramsdale and Maguire when they don't even play for their clubs on a regular basis.


 

 

09 Mar 2024 17:54:13
Bosting performance from everybody, don't usually like picking out one player, so I won't, but RAN and Mario just want to be everywhere, that's playing for the shirt! Reed and Paulinho should have both got REDS! Bring on Cov. FWAW .

prestonwolf

1.) 09 Mar 2024 18:11:04
Happy days. Great result.


2.) 09 Mar 2024 18:41:53
Gomes and Doyle looked good too. Fraser ran his socks off and was knackered when he came off.


3.) 09 Mar 2024 18:54:57
It was a great performance and more importantly result. Those last minutes goals though ? goal difference could really count at the end of the day.

Still, up to eighth so onwards and upwards.


4.) 09 Mar 2024 20:19:05
Tbf their goal was a freak goal.


 

 

08 Mar 2024 14:16:08
Would not play Sa, Dawson Joao or Neto. Make sure they're fitter for Cov. Far more important game!

prestonwolf

1.) 08 Mar 2024 14:57:33
Why not go the whole hog and rest all the 1st team if the Filham match is of so little importance! ?


2.) 08 Mar 2024 15:33:35
Very much agree preston.the Fulham game is secondary.
Far better to have Neto, Dawson etc 100% fit for the Coventry game and maybe lose tomorrow.


3.) 08 Mar 2024 16:44:48
Hi Guys,
The Fulham game is of equal importance. We still have an outside chance of Europe via league placement, plus each place we drop down the league I believe costs us over £2Mill in revenue. GON has some difficult decisions to make, but I would play our strongest team against Fulham and if we're fortunate to be leading by HT then take off a couple of players.


4.) 08 Mar 2024 16:59:49
So you don't think pushing for a European place is worth it?


5.) 08 Mar 2024 18:12:48
To win the cup we've probably got to beat one or maybe both of Liverpool and Man City, that's assuming we best Coventry, Chelsea, Man Utd, Newcastle wouldn't be straightforwardgames either, the best case scenario is a Leicester semi. Maybe the league is the best way to Europe as Blackfords says difficult decisions.


6.) 08 Mar 2024 19:15:33
There are no guarantees in any game and the aim should be to win every one showing respect to the opposition. From my own view point and influenced by my age and health I'd love us to be at Wembley with another chance of the FAcup, but the club must come first and progression the key to its future, so, we've got to aim to be our strongest available against both Fulham and Coventry and the next game and the next. We don't have the luxury of a large squad son GON will have to make the decisions as and when they occur, hoping of course there are no injuries. Its strongest every time for me.


7.) 08 Mar 2024 19:43:58
Fully agree Abbey, we should pay equal respect to both the league and the Cup. Who knows, we could well do well in both and continue to confound the critics.


8.) 08 Mar 2024 22:35:06
Disagree there is £2million difference for each position in the league and we are still in the run for 7th spot too.
Also if we field a weakened squad on purpose we'd get fined just like we did a few years back when Mick fielded a weakened squad against Man UTD.


9.) 08 Mar 2024 23:02:58
That's not how football works in real life I'm afraid (this ain't Footy Manager)! If we drop our first team agaisnt Fulham we would get spanked and that isn't going to help the team going into the next game in anyway! GON will make the decisions he has to make but if you think every league place doesn't matter to him then you haven't been listening to the interviews! Besides which like others have pointed out to get a Euro spot from the cup you now have to win it and as much as I want that to happen it is (sadly) very unlikely! In fact what looks far more probable is a late run in the league and the current teams in Europe doing us all a favour and getting an extra space through the coefficient! We were poor last game and good seasons can be easily ruined doing that too many weeks in a row! Mind you it won't be easy, seems like a lot of players are injured right now. Just hoping for a good performance and for that we NEED our best players I'm afraid! ?


10.) 09 Mar 2024 06:02:41
I think don't play weakened team in any game at thus later stage in tge season go for everything the best you can.

It's peaking the goodness being a wolves fan.

Great stuff from GON COYW


11.) 09 Mar 2024 10:31:00
Hi Rated,
Yes £2Mill per placement in the league seems excessive, but I got this information from an article I read. Can't remember the exact figure quoted but either £2.4 or £2.8Mill extra/loss depending. They used to reckon £1Mill gain/loss per position.


12.) 09 Mar 2024 13:36:15
The Mirror in August claimed 2.2 million per place, on top of a guaranteed 80 million for TV rights. A UCL place can be worth up to 100 million.

Great to see the scumbag Aston forced to resign as chair of Wolves Parliament. Do not need 'pondlife' like that associated with our great club. FWAW!

Lack of 'fans' has been the best news for Veeela, ever! The South Bank will return, and Raul will be back, when Tom Daley sneaks off to City, they will crawl back to the Chumpionship. FWAW!

Totally agree, TT. Whether you are Cutrone, Fabio, Corbeanu or anyone, it's difficult to get more than 5 minutes game time, with that pesky Raul. He's never injured, runs all day and night, works el socks off all over the pitch and our most likely goalscorer! We are so lucky that we have several players with the same attitude. Trust in Nuno!

Didn't get the run of the ball today, but can't fault the commitment of the team, everyone put in a proper shift . Without Dubravkas' two quality saves, midway thru 2nd half, from Fraser and Sarabia we might have nicked something! Proud of the effort, never gave up. FWAW!
