The Women's Super League and Women's Championship could be restructured.

A vote will take place at the end of the season , in May , with a two-thirds majority needed for the change to be made.

Some clubs in the bottom half of the WSL are in support of the idea, as they believe it would give them a better chance to compete in the future.

West Ham manager Rehanne Skinner says the existence of promotion and relegation provides an "incentive" for long-term investment.

The WPLL could also look to the National Women's Soccer League in the US and propose a draft system for signing players.

The WSL currently has a "soft" salary cap, allowing clubs to spend up to 40% of their revenue on player salaries.

All-in-all, there is plenty for WSL board members to consider.
