Still great number all around. They sure are getting a ton of support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Sizeable list. Best of luck to those departing. Likely not an easy undertaking for the manager and staff to cut that many loose. I was Interested to see how they would evolve with the step up a league. 10 stronger additions could be a real game changer though if they recruit the right people. Exciting off season ahead for the lasses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iklgizmo Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 That is huge!! For context there are probably around 3 or 4 teams (don't quote me on that) that are professional in the 2nd tier, and we're in the 3rd tier!! Only issue is when clubs do this, they'll often pay a salary of less than 20k, so players who are earning more than that in their current jobs can't really take the hit, and also can't commit to training full time! Still it's a huge step forward and we should be able to attract a lot of talent to drop down a league to come and play for us! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 My sister is friends with Daisy Burt’s mam, and she was saying that Daisy Burt was one of the 1st players they put on a professional contract. I got the impression that they were only handing out professional contracts to players who could make the step up, and when the club went up the leagues, the ones who were not good enough would be replaced by those who are, and on a full time contract.

Tsunami Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I’d expect a pretty significant overhaul of the squad off the back of this news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if they'll try and hoover up some of the players that have recently been released from WSL clubs, now we're able to offer full time contracts. Someone like Carla Humphrey's for instance who was a mainstay with Liverpool in the Championship but as soon as they got promoted became a bit part sub.

You've got to assume that outside the WSL we're going to be one of the most attractive options. Will be interesting to see how bold we are. Obviously there's no FFP in women's football but we've also committed to sustainable, steady progress in the men's game so will we look to do the same with NUW?

Nah , that’s not true unfortunately. They had 26 players last year 10 released. Left with 16 players now all being offered pro contracts (soon) not yet. Newcastle will be looking for potentially 6/8 new players to sign before the season starts. (As they want a slightly smaller squad) Daisy hasn’t signed anything yet , no one has been offered anything yet. The info / deal to go professional was only agreed last night. Exciting times ??

Fair enough, must have been wires crossed and they must have been on about rumours or something. Anyway I wish them all the best of luck. I took my nieces the woman’s match the weekend before lockdown. I want them to grow up knowing that they can do what they want and gender doesn’t/shouldn’t play a part. My sisters oldest now plays Rugby, and my sister used too when she was a teenager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 That's great. Imagine where they were a few years back too, couldn't have imagined this. Second club in the city they've made professional in 2years, good going. Some growth spurt all this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
