"A lot of the WSL clubs are still afterthoughts, unfortunately, and adjuncts to the men's team. They're not investing what they could be."
"Numerous international investors have held talks with WSL clubs over the past few years, but there is a feeling among some would-be buyers that the primary focus of many owners is using the women's team as a means of complying with profitability and sustainability regulations."
Kara Nortman, co-founder of Monarch Collective, states that many Women's Super League clubs are neglected by their owners. Monarch has invested in various women's sports teams but struggles to find suitable partners in England. Discussions with several clubs have occurred, yet many owners prioritize compliance with profitability regulations over genuine investment. Recent sales of stakes in women's teams by clubs like Chelsea and Aston Villa reflect this trend. Nortman emphasizes the need for greater investment in women's teams to elevate their status and potential.
