Relegation backlash ‘has not changed our perspective’

According to Women’s Professional Leagues Limited’s Nikki Doucet, the backlash against the idea of a potential temporary relegation from the Women’s Super League has not altered our opinion of changes.

In response to reports of radical proposals being taken into consideration, Doucet, the CEO of WPLL, which regulates England’s top two tiers of women’s football, noted that no proposals were made or decisions made regarding potential changes to the competition or organizational structure.

However, she claimed that their thinking had not changed because they had referred to relegation and promotion as “critical to the success of our league.”

No proposals were final, and no decisions had been made regarding potential changes to the structure or competition, according to Doucet.

“We think that promotion and relegation are wonderful things. It sets English football apart from other competitions. She said, “It adds excitement and jeopardy.”

It’s something that everyone adores about football, and it’s never been in dispute.

We firmly believe that promotion and relegation are important distinguishing factors and valuable advantages to us.

However, Doucet responded, “No, it hasn’t,” when asked if the opposition to the idea of scrapping relegation had had an impact. Our perspective or analysis, in my opinion, hasn’t changed.

The WPLL has previously stated that it is evaluating ways to expand the WSL and encourage more investment.

It states that the Football Association, players, shareholders, and the Football Association will all play a role in the “evolvement” of the leagues.

Be really thoughtful about the variety of options and the benefits and drawbacks of each one, said Doucet.

We fully comprehend the impact of decisions and the impact of everything that is done at the top, down the pyramid.

When asked about the potential to end relegation, Doucet replied, “Again, I would just go back to what I said before in that I think it is a really important differentiator and a competitive advantage for our leagues.”

From our perspective, I believe that has never been in dispute.

The WPLL claims to consult with fan groups before proceeding if any formal proposals are made at upcoming shareholders’ meetings.

“Fan groups will certainly participate in the consultation process. The WPLL added, “We are still considering concepts and options.”

There will be informal and formal consultation when that proposal is placed where we can consult. The governance procedure is tense.
