Everton Women's boss Brian Sorensen has confirmed his summer transfer plans won't be impacted by the fortunes of the men's team, who are battling to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
Sean Dyche's side saw their crusade for top-flight survival hit a troubling stumbling block with Saturday's drab defeat to Fulham at Goodison Park. The result means Everton remain 17th in the table, with a superior goal difference over fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest the only thing keeping them out of the drop zone.
The Blues' bleak domestic campaign stands in complete juxtaposition to the efforts of the club's women's side, who have been on an impressive upward trajectory since Sorensen's arrival last summer. Everton Women are well on course to finish in the top half of the Women's Super League table, and their manager has now assuaged fears that their progress could be halted if the men's team are forced to surrender their long-held top-flight status this summer.
