Are the women's team directly owned and run by the football club or are they a separate entity using the name?
I am not sure women's football will ever amount to much to be honest. Over here they used to have a professional league but while the MLS over here is doing very well, the women league was a huge flop!! Same happened in the NBA. Problem I see is traditionally more men follow sport than women, not by as many as it used to be, and consequently it can be difficult to get men to show the level of interest and therefore money in the women's equivalent of a sport.
