People are talking about the women's game but for the wrong reasons

Football is still coming to grips with the sacking of Mark Samspon as England manager last week.

While many, including myself, have argued that the women’s game deserved more mainstream exposure, it is a shame that it came like this.

While many have rightfully questioned how Sampson kept his job after the racism and bullying allegations from Eni Aluko, Drew Spence, Lianne Sanderson and others, the most important question came from Women in Football, which how was he given the job in the first place?
