Burnley FC women

Burnley Women have been unsuccessful in their attempt to fill the void left by Blackburn Rovers in WSL2.

Sheffield United have instead been given a reprieve while the Clarets remain in the third tier.

Embarrassing for Blackburn to lose its Ladies team. Will the men’s team be next ?

gets worse for rovers, from the Athletic

"Blackburn Rovers Women will take part in a redundancy process that could impact at least 20 members of staff, while all senior players are set to be released at the end of June, according to people familiar with the process.

The club announced in May that their senior women’s team were to be demoted from Women’s Super League 2 — they had finished 10th in English football’s second tier, five points clear of relegation. The club’s ownership, the V H Group, which took over in November 2010, decided against meeting the required licensing criteria to retain their second tier status.

On Thursday, senior women’s staff members received an email informing them that a “group consultation process” was set to begin regarding their employment with the club, according to sources who wished to remain anonymous to protect relationships.

The proposed redundancies impact all staff within the women’s football department, including pathway and operations staff and medical staff, as well as marketing and communications personnel. The number of redundancies is said to surpass 20, which would remove most of the contracted staff working within the club’s women’s football department.

The email informing staff of the impending redundancy process was said to be the first form of communication from the club hierarchy since Blackburn’s decision to demote the women’s senior team.

Many members of staff say they have resigned themselves to searching for jobs elsewhere.

A source with knowledge of the situation indicated internal discussions with relevant club staff remain ongoing, and staff have been informed they will continue to be paid until the consultation process has been finalised"
