The women’s team that was canned was costing £60k a year to run ffs.
Now I don’t doubt costs have gone up, but so has interest.

I'm not saying it's an excuse, just that it isn't something that would generate enough money for the owners to see it as something worth doing.
I'm digging out the Glazers more than anything.
Let's be honest, City haven't done it out of the goodness of their heart, just like they haven't done up the youth side and bought clubs and extended their franchise in Aus and USA etc. to benefit those leagues, it's all a cynical exercise in brand exposure and manipulating their income/costs for FFP.
