FA turn down £150m deal to frame a rebranded WSL next season with Man City and Chelsea intrigued
The FA have dismissed a £150million offer from a confidential value organization to shape a rebranded Women's Super League next season.
Sportsmail has discovered that few top clubs, including champions Chelsea and Manchester City, were keen on the arrangement, which would have made another WSL structure run by clubs, like the Premier League. Be that as it may, the FA would have rather not surrendered control.
The £150m would have been divided between the 12 WSL clubs on the stipulation that it was spent on three critical regions — new administration designs, offices and player improvement.
The new cash might have changed the funds for the ladies' down at a key period, with the FA trusting a fruitful England crusade at this late spring's home Euros will support interest, attendances and business open doors.
The confidential value venture would have predominated any subsidizing made accessible by the FA, or that produced by the clubs. By correlation the WSL TV bargain is worth around £8m per season.
The financial backers accept the WSL has potential for business development and would have given assets to work on the quality and profundity of the opposition, which has been ruled recently by Chelsea, who have won five of the last six titles.
While City, Manchester United and Arsenal have contributed, other first class clubs have not and most need committed supervisory groups.
The FA went into converses with a receptive outlook, yet closed they would be in an ideal situation with their methodology of sustaining a more slow speed of development. The administering body have run the WSL since it was set up in 2011, however a clubs believe the Premier League should dominate.
'Our drawn out system is for the associations to be under new proprietorship,' a FA representative said. 'We've been moved toward various times. In any case, we are investigating the ideal proprietorship design and money growth strategy.'
