    Are there any indications of Leicester cost cutting and pulling out of WSL 1?
    they're bottom and coming down anyway I suspect, I can't see them beating any of the WSL top 3, they're on a 9 game losing streak and haven't won a game this calendar year!

    I've not heard anything to suggest that, and I'd be surprised if they did. We we did that on relegation from the Premier League it was about balancing the budgets. Their losses are on a much bigger scale and a couple of million to cut a minimal WSL1 budget to a minimal WSL2 one, or even to zero, wouldn't really touch sides. They'd be better off keeping the women's team in order to make the overall package look better to a potential buyer, if that's the way they go.

    And if their owners can fund the losses and the only issue is the League One spending limits, the costs of the women's team don't count towards that so there would be no benefit.

    Shame, thanks. I followed the pre relegation women's team and at the time was friends with Andrew Mercer who sponsored the Women for a while. I believe it was his sponsorship that coined "Addicted to Women" which was on banners and had Sven Goran Erickson pictured beside!

    Obviously we're hoping that we don't need to care about the makeup of the second tier next season, but perhaps worth noting that Watford have won the southern division of the tier 3 league again, so they will be promoted. The second of the three slots goes to the winner of the north division, which looks like being Burnley but could also be Wolves. The third goes to a playoff on Monday 4 May when whichever club loses out in the northern division will play either Plymouth or Bournemouth.

    Those 3 promoted sides replace the 2 who get automatic promotion to WSL1 plus whoever finishes last in the very tight battle at the bottom, leaving WSL2 still with 12 clubs next season.
    Still hoping that we don't need to care about this, but Burnley and Watford are the two clubs getting promoted automatically and the playoff will be Wolves against Plymouth. Portsmouth have been relegated from the division due to Ipswich's win over Birmingham.
