But is there clear thinking in this decision, personality issues behind the scenes or just a knee-jerk reaction before the bigger money starts pouring into the women's game?
SO, EVERY team in the WSL has reached the halfway point in their fixtures schedule. But how's it looking for the title hopefuls, the also-rans, and the relegation scrappers? We conclude with a look at Manchester United, Reading, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United...
