Good read, but it says two years ago she was struggling to make ends meet, yet she says she's into property management but owns two houses?

I know women's football earnings are a lot more ordinary than men's but this sounds a bit like The Guardian acting like someone on 50k has the same financial struggles as someone on minimum wage.

am I missing something, where does it say this?

It's possible she only bought those houses in the last 2 years when things improved?

Safe to say she's unlikely to have ever been on the breadline though, given she was brought up in West Bridgford, which as anyone who knows much about Nottingham will tell you, means her family was doing pretty bloody well.

That is a good point and is more likely.

Maybe she made like Gordon Ramsay and just simply sold her porsche.

Someone please think about the millionaires

Nothing more frustrating than reading about footballers making $50k and making it look like they're on the edge of existence.

Only recently. She wasnt even first choice in the wsl until midway through 19/20, and wasnt nailed on as england keeper until 2022.

She was playing second tier in Germany at age 26, and was still at uni 7 years ago.
