The BBC have run a number of pieces - in the last 48 hours - on its website featuring Ada Hegerberg, who won’t be playing for Norway in the World Cup because of a perceived lack of equality between the men’s and women’s teams.

Given the rigours of FFP, how can women desire their sport to be a parasitical financial entity, sapping funds from the men’s game? If the women’s game makes money through attendances, sponsors and TV revenue then that should be redistributed to players as pay. Expecting men’s football to subsidise women’s football is an admission that the product/sport is not as enjoyable/competitive/lucrative. This preposterous social engineering is putting me off watching women’s football - something I have done without fail for every major tournament over the past 15 years.
