Blackburn Rovers faces potential withdrawal from the Women's Championship due to the owners' unwillingness to meet league standards regarding facilities, player welfare, and staffing. Discussions are ongoing with WSL Football for possible special considerations, yet player concerns grow as a teammate indicated financial support might not continue next season. Defender Niamh Murphy highlighted the team's struggle with limited budget while avoiding relegation, emphasizing the players' commitment despite financial shortfalls. The club's situation echo's the previous year's Reading withdrawal due to similar issues, raising concerns across the league regarding sustainability.
"I have been a Blackburn Rovers player for three seasons and the only consistency there has been is the lack of financial support from the club."
"This is a huge success and a credit to the women's players and staff."
