Wolves Women expressed deep frustration and disappointment after the club decided not to apply for promotion to the Women's Championship, despite their strong performance finishing just three points behind champions Nottingham Forest. Players felt cheated after battling throughout the season only to learn their bid was never submitted. Beth Merrick and Lily Simkin voiced their devastation on social media, critiquing the club's apparent lack of ambition regarding the women's team. Following their last match, a meeting revealed to players that their efforts were rendered fruitless, highlighting issues around club support and player contracts.
Imagine fighting for promotion all season to find out our Championship bid was never submitted. As a group we are absolutely devastated to finish the season this way and believe it speaks volumes about the club's ambitions for the women's team.
As a group of staff and players we have been fighting all season and still achieved what some people at the club thought was impossible. We took it to the last day to find out it would have all been for nothing anyway. We deserve better.
