A team that was one of the pioneers of English women's football and they are relegated by a press release. What happened to league status being on merit? Surely any 'new' clubs should enter the team at the bottom and work their way up on merit? Apparently that doesn't apply any longer – and money talks. As usual. Yet another example of the FA not having the courage of their convictions. The Football Association: Supporting Football since 1863 (as long as the money's right) I expect nothing will happen. Shame on you from top to bottom. Mark ButtonPortland, Oregon.
