A report by the Football Association regarding the death of Maddy Cusack revealed that many players felt unsupported and unable to voice concerns at Sheffield United. Although the report is still provisional pending an inquest, excerpts shared indicate serious welfare and safeguarding challenges within women's football. Dean Armstrong KC, representing Cusack's family, emphasized these issues, while former manager Jonathan Morgan claimed that the family manipulated information, suggesting a biased narrative. The coroner is expected to make further rulings about the inquest's direction and witness testimonies.
The investigation has shed light on the resourcing issues particularly acute in the women's game and the related welfare and safeguarding issues that might arise.
Most players particularly did not feel supported and felt unable to raise complaints against their manager and others.
