Crystal Palace has officially been relegated from the Women's Super League following a challenging season characterized by insufficient performance, recording only two wins, three draws, and fifteen losses. The relegation was confirmed after a heavy 7-1 defeat to West Ham. Manager Leif Smerud acknowledged the team's shortcomings, emphasizing a need for a performance reassessment. The current WSL season is not yet concluded, and a vote on whether relegation will be scrapped will occur after the season's end, which could influence future league structures.
"I was saying that over a year in football, you get what you deserve and we have to acknowledge we have not been good enough. Palace will play in the Championship next season."
"We have to look at the facts and they are that we have not been good enough, not today and not during the season. It's not that difficult, you don't have to be an expert to see that."
