There’s not much to add beyond what Steph already said yesterday. Liverpool FC have treated the women’s side poorly in the last few years, but the most recent news (and the justified call outs from the players affected) from the club has been abysmal.
Amy Rodgers one of the best and most consistent playmakers this season (a season that hasn’t had a lot of consistent players), and a key part of the team for 5 years had her contract retracted in much the same way that Becky Jane and Kirsty Linnett did.

Let me be clear: playing for Liverpool Football Club is a privilege and not a right. The club has every authority to decide that a player’s services are no longer needed. I know that. Kirsty Linnett and Becky Jane know that too. I want to lead with this, because the bad faith discourse around this recent and, at this point, predictably disappointing treatment by LFC to their women’s players has been that the women are just mad that they got dropped from their contracts.
