"It's going to be interesting because, for fans of certain clubs who need managers, you'll be thinking 'I wonder if we can get that person or that person'," former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha said on BBC Radio 5 Live. "It's the World Cup to add a bit of nuance to that as well. Some managers becoming available at what seems like the best time. Some managers' contracts being available. "Some managers trying to do well for their nations at the World Cup at the summer. It's really exciting and it feels like there's going to be a reset at so many clubs."
Some of the richest clubs in women's football saw their revenues increase by 35% last year, with Arsenal generating the largest revenue in Europe for the first time since Deloitte began charting the top earners in the women's game. The north London side had revenues of 25.6m (22.2m), narrowly overtaking Chelsea, thanks largely to their 7m of matchday revenue, which was nearly twice as much as anyone else, boosted by their move to play all of their home league fixtures at the Emirates Stadium.
Today, they sit level on points with third-placed Arsenal after collecting 23 from 12 matches and the two north London sides are separated only by goal difference. So this question does not feel outrageous: can Spurs secure a place in next season's Champions League with a top-three finish? The club's transformation under Martin Ho, who took over last summer after Spurs finished second bottom in 2024-25, has been remarkable.
