Newcastle United Women 4-0 Alnwick Town (01/05/2022)

Chelsea lose money hand-over-fist.  They aren't financially viable - they're a financial black hole.  They require a sugar daddy to stop them from folding.

 

I don't follow the logic of a club losing 100m in one year being viable because they're turning over 300m.

The mens game has been grown over 100 years though, no you won't get similar results with the woman's game because the interest in it from the public isn't their yet and untill then it won't be profitable as hard as sky etc try to promote it.

So why are all the top premier league clubs still investing in their women's teams? Honestly your point is just plainly ludicrous.

But it has to start somewhere, doesn’t it? So why not now?

 

And the interest will correlate with the investment, improvement in facilities and improvement in quality. They’re all intrinsically linked.

 

The interest in Man City “wasn’t there yet” until they got a mighty windfall of investment. Why is that okay? Those pesky Man City lot should have had to prove themselves of being good enough consistently over years before they were financed, according to your wild theory.

The women’s game was effectively strangled by the FA after WWI which is why women’s football in England is only just catching up with other countries, notably Italy and the USA. Tbh, I just want that artificially imposed imbalance to be corrected so that girls and women have the same sporting opportunities as boys and men

Is it worth merging this with the actual women's team thread?

Some good chat In here which has moved on from the match itself
