He didn't last long, something is seriously wrong in the LFC Women's camp me thinks.

BBC

Liverpool Women boss Neil Redfearn has resigned after three months in charge of the Women's Super League club.

Former Leeds United, Rotherham United and Doncaster Rovers Belles manager Redfearn replaced Scott Rogers in June.

But the Reds lost both of their first two competitive matches under the 53-year-old, including a 5-0 defeat by Arsenal on Sunday.

The club have yet to announce who will be in charge for the Continental Cup game against Durham on Sunday.

Chris Kirkland temporary Manager!

LFC

Neil Redfearn has left his role as head coach of Liverpool FC Women, having resigned with immediate effect.

The club would like to thank Neil for his work in rebuilding the squad ahead of the 2018-19 season and wish him the best of luck for the future.

Former Liverpool goalkeeper Chris Kirkland, who joined the Women's backroom team as goalkeeping coach in the summer, will take charge of the side as caretaker-manager, supported by assistant manager Vicky Jepson.

The focus of the coaching staff and players is now on Sunday's Continental Tyres Cup fixture against Durham Women FC.

Wtf.

Are the American owners involved in running the women's team? We should be in unisson in wanting to achieve the same level of success in both the women and men's game and this is worrying.

No.

I wonder if Kirkland sometimes eats bits of himself with mango chutney?

Liverpool women won today. BBC website :-

Substitute Rinsola Babajide scored managerless Liverpool's winner to keep Brighton still awaiting their first Women's Super League point.

With just five minutes left, Babajide's 20-yard shot crept in for the Reds, who were playing their first WSL match since Neil Redfearn's resignation.

Kayleigh Green headed just over as Brighton failed to find an equaliser.

Hope Powell's side have lost all three games 1-0 in their first season since being accepted into the top tier.

Chelsea have been named winners of the Women's Super League title on a points-per-game ratio, while Liverpool have been relegated.

When the season was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic in March, Chelsea were one point behind leaders Manchester City with a game in hand.

Aston Villa, who were top of the Championship, will replace the WSL's bottom club Liverpool next season.

The Reds said they are "disappointed" with how the season has been concluded.


Where did it go wrong for Liverpool?

As two-time winners, Liverpool are the WSL's highest-profile relegated side since the breakaway league began in 2011.

Vicky Jepson's team won just one and drew three of their 14 completed matches this season, but with more than a third of their original 22-game campaign unplayed, they had held high hopes of getting out of trouble on the field.

With eight games left, they were one point adrift of 11th-placed Birmingham City, but Blues had a game in hand on the Reds.

Scoring goals has been an issue for Liverpool, who netted only eight times in their 14 league games in 2019-20.

In the previous season, they managed more than one goal per game and finished eighth.

Now more than ever they need that £10m per season investment Arn promised.

I think of that literally every time I hear something about the women's team

Club should at least get Insua in as coach.
