Arsenal legend Ian Wright has voiced his opposition to the proposal of pausing relegation in the Women's Super League (WSL) during discussions among clubs. This proposal aims to enhance league investment but Wright argues that relegation is fundamental to the sport's structure. He cited successful expansions in other women's leagues, such as La Liga and Norway, which maintain relegation fairness. The decision on this proposal is expected by the season's end, but Wright insists that removing relegation would be unrealistic and detrimental to the sport's integrity.
Ian Wright expressed his strong opposition to the idea of scrapping relegation in the Women's Super League, stating that such a move would remove a core element of football.
Wright emphasized the importance of relegation by comparing women's leagues in La Liga and Norway, noting they are expanding without removing relegation, which maintains competitive integrity.
