Blackburn Rovers withdrew from the women's championship next season because the club's owners are unwilling to meet the league requirements in the facilities, the welfare of the player and the employment.
In an email sent to the players by the club's Human Resources Department on Tuesday, which was seen by the BBC Sport, they say that Blackburn is in “continuous discussions with the Football Association (FA) regarding the division that we will compete” next season.
Players and employees are still not sure of their future, whether they will remain semi -professional or if their contracts are renewed.
The deadline for the report was whether the club wanted to meet the requirements for licensing and retain its position at the second level on Monday, May 19.
Email continued to say: “Given the minimum standards required at the levels at the bottom of the Women Championship, there is a major impact on the employment structure and playing to move forward, and therefore your role may be affected.”
It is expected that the FA and WSL Football – which oversees the company at the two best levels of football for English women – later on Tuesday to discuss the next steps.
BlackBurn's withdrawal may mean the recession of Sheffield United, which the sources say have held preliminary talks about the possibility of returning to the Women Championship.
