As we all know, the future of Notts County Ladies is still uncertain while the winding-up order is still at the club, but the Lady Pies today announced the signing of Louise Quinn, a Republic of Ireland international with 51 caps and former captain of Swedish side Eskilstuna United. Quite an illustrious signing, so reading between the lines, should we assume that things are more or less going to be alright with the Lady Pies?

We have to assume they are fine until otherwise.

News will quickly follow that they will be alright, I am sure. You can't think of tomorrow if you can't act now - so I wouldn't worry about their future. Signings just confirms its normal business until we are told something else.

Man City signed one of the best players in the world in Carli Lloyd. Arsenal signed Heather O Reilly. Chelsea signed Crystal Dunn. It's safe to say the gap between the likes of the big clubs and Notts Ladies (and others) is widening significantly. The 3 above will battle for the title, the rest will have a mini league of their own to see who finishes 4th......
