Who could possibly replace the woman who had led them to five successive Women's Super League titles and 14 major trophies in 12 years?

They bounced back from a defeat at Manchester City in the Champions League to beat them days later in the league, and scored a stoppage-time winner against Liverpool to book their place in the Women's FA Cup final.

The decision was seen as a victory by women's rights groups but some trans campaigners have argued it did not take into account their view of the complexities of biology and a transgender former judge says she plans to bring an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights .

The Equalities and Human Rights Commission also published interim guidance after the ruling which said trans women "should not be permitted to use the women's facilities" in workplaces or public-facing services.

The justice secretary said the vast majority of trans women inmates are within the male estate, and she had not moved any trans prisoners into women's jails since taking office last July.
