I was thinking recently how in most sports, women have a governing body that works separately from the mens. Tennis has the WTA for women and the MTP for the men as an example. Would it be beneficial for the development of the female game to implement a female power as a governer? Sepp Blatter seems not to be the man to take the game forward, so who else may do things better?

In the wake of Tiffany Milbrett's and Christine Sinclair's transfer to Chelsea, do male orientated clubs have too much power over there female counterparts? Obviously Milbrett and Sinclairs decisions were based solely on money offered by Roman Abramovic, but is this fair? Is it right for female teams to feed off the resourses of the mens teams and will this cause the women's Premier League to folow in the footsteps of the Barclays Premiership and become money governed?

I agree but I think they should let the game develop a bit more as it is, maybe if England do well in the world cup than it will attract more attention the game and raise more funds so that they can create their own proper governing body. I know bbc are trying to promote the womens game.

I think football as a whole should be governed by FIFA, but i think more power needs to be given to the Committee for Womens Football which basically oversee's the female aspect of the game. I think there needs to be more female held positions in FIFA as well for both the male and female games. I'd also like to see more female managers, especially for national teams. Even some female managers taking over male professional teams. This would help bring attention to women in soccer.

Milbrett and Sinclair's move is probably a big boost for female soccer. Big money transfers bring lots of attention in the male leagues. Money entering womens football from sponsors such as Abromovic is the only way to really raise player profile's and salaries as well as the sport as a whole.

let the men's game influence the women's game and let the women's game grow. when it's time women's footy won't need influencing from the men's game.

That's exactly the sort of attitude that's going to push women's football into the levels and standard that I know it is capable of. There are lots of people who believe in the women's game and are actively trying to improve the standard and participation. Unfortunately, there are also many who just feel that women's football is a joke and this doesn't help the sport develop at all.

I'm just looking forward to next year's World Cup when I'm sure plenty of fans of the men's game will watch the women's spectacle and be extremely impressed. Brazil, Germany, USA and Sweden have great quality throughout the team and France, England, China, Canada, Russia etc. aren't very far behind and are improving all the time.

I'm hoping that the next Women's World Cup in 2011 will be almost as popular as the men's World Cup and with the players developing and the game as a whole developing as it is now, there's no reason why there won't. If everyone becomes a supporter of football in general and not just men's football, then i'm extremely confident that women's stuff will take off.

That I agree with, and its diaboica to be honest. Women play such an important part in football, that a little bit in return would go a long way. When the England's womens team needed to win there game to qualify for China there was a good turn out, and the BBC gave it some coverage. So, if the commercialisation, which unfortunately counts for a lot, takes off, then in turn so will womens football.
