I think there's a lot of impatience for women's football to have all the answers now but like you say - just listen to fans, see what they want. No one moves all their furniture into a house before they know where the plug sockets are.

6,473 at Goodison Park for Everton Women yesterday. Nearly 6x average of WPH. Some expect Everton (& the wider game) to have all the answers now or it's a hoax. Goodison is a reminder that ambition & patience are not mutually exclusive. This is a work in progress.

A very good article. A critical part of this is listening to the fans. I have a good feeling about this. Everton can be the next Arsenal.

Olivia Smith interview. On that goal. On Renee Slegers. On Arsenal being her first long-time home. On being glad Beth Mead didn’t leave. On being scared to say hi to Katie McCabe - then becoming bffs. On being the first £1m women's player. On not caring about that.
