Questions remain over how Karen Carney’s recommendations would be funded but important work should not be ignored
It was with some trepidation I opened the 128-page report from the Review of Women’s Football chaired by the former England international Karen Carney. How would she and her team respond to the many and varied challenges facing the women’s game at what is a critical juncture?
The answer in a nutshell: comprehensively and sharply. It is just over a year since Carney was unveiled as the review chair and the report comes before one of the most critical years in the development of the professional women’s game in England. In that sense the timing is perfect.
