Liverpool: What caused WSL’s seven-match winless streak?

If Liverpool is moved from the WSL in 2020, the criticism of a lack of investment in women’s women will be rife.

Since then, the club has moved the women to the Melwood Training Center – previously used by the men’s team – and switched to St Telens-style games in the established stadium.

They have also broken their club transfer record three times in the last five years, reflecting the growth of the market.

But is it enough?

Their budget is still well below WSL big-hitters Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City, and they outperform the other teams in their table.

Under the ownership of Sports Sports Group (FSG), Liverpool has adopted a business model that pays mostly for menage titles, including two major trophies and a legal league.

Their philosophy is a sell-sell model, where they reap the benefits of time and spend big when the team needs a refresh.

This summer, the club spent £415m on transfers for Arne Slot’s side, which received £187m from selling players. They also received £174.9m in prize money for winning the league.

The goal of the Club is to run the women’s team in a similar sustainable way, but it has not worked so far that the high teams owned by evenious investment.

Liverpool sold Key Player Olivia Smith for a record £1m this summer for a can-captain-captain Taylor Hinds’s also on the fringes.

Liverpool will receive payment from Arsenal in installments and have pledged to spend in January as a result. But the bulk of their summer budget continues to pay Taylor after an issue with a clause in his contract with Manchester City, which locked him out in March.

When Time Taylor arrives, just four weeks before the start of the season, Liverpool are behind in their recruitment before their players against Everton, including three signings on the deadline day.

They also hired new managing director Andy O’BoLoyle, recruitment darling Rob Clarkson and technical co-ordinator this summer – all key roles in January.

Adding quality is a must and the club cannot afford another bad transfer window.

“It’s something that has been fed in a proper way. This team needs help, we’ve lost players from last season and we don’t have replacements,” Taylor admitted last week.
