Joe Sheehan, the Ipswich manager, called for more teams to be promoted from the third tier to the Women’s Championship after his team’s gutsy performance in a 1-0 FA Cup quarter-final defeat to the Women’s Super League side West Ham.
“I think there should be loads [of teams being promoted],” said Sheehan. “There are so many clubs like ours that are doing so much, that are investing so much, that are committing so much. I want us all to achieve, I want us, Southampton, Wolves, [Nottingham] Forest, teams that are really trying to do things to a really high level, all to be rewarded.”
