Women’s Football Weekly: WSL season finale & what makes London City Lionesses unique?

Ellen White, Jen Beattie and Ben Haines speak to two title winning managers as the domestic league season comes to a close. London City Lionesses manager Jocelyn Precheur joins the pod as they secure promotion to the WSL and become the first ever sole entity club to compete in the women’s top tier. How influential is their owner, Michele Kang? And what are the benefits of being a smaller club?

Sonia Bompastor reflects on winning the WSL title in her first year as Chelsea manager as they edge closer to an unbeaten season in the league. But does Chelsea’s spending on players take away from their success on the pitch?

As Manchester United secure Champions League football for next season, have they gone under the radar this season? And what might the repercussions be of Manchester City failing to qualify for Europe?
