What will the WSL be like without Hayes?

Full Time Europe: A show about women's football

Sophie Penney is with Charlotte Harpur, Michael Cox and Katie Whyatt as Chelsea win the WSL title, crowning off Emma Hayes’ 12 years in charge with her 14th major trophy. 

As Hayes leaves for the U.S. Women’s National Team we’re asking what will the WSL look like without Hayes? Will other teams sniff out an opportunity? And will media interest stall?

Plus, Lyon win the French league and we look ahead to their Champions League final against Barcelona with Laia Cervello Herrero.
