The Football Association would not support a “closed” Women’s Super League, but chief executive Mark Bullingham has not ruled out backing some proposals that would see relegation scrapped from the women’s top-flight if they benefited the wider growth of the game.
While the running of the WSL is now in the hands of the newly formed Women's Professional Leagues Limited (WPLL), the FA still retains a “golden share” and possesses “a lot of power” to vote against any proposals that would make the WSL a “closed shop”.
