Alex Scott had a message for clubs sceptical about the womens Euros and it’s A++

Footballer turned pundit Alex Scott had a few words for the clubs that were sceptical about the womens Euros ahead of this year’s tournament which ended with England’s historic 2-1 win over Germany.

The BBC analyst, who made 140 appearances for the England national team, went viral with this message in the wake of the Lionesses’ epic triumph.

All the politicians & people jumping on the old bandwagon.

But were they making noise when, 4 years ago, the decision was made to play #EURO2022 games at Man City's ACADEMY GROUND.

Listen to Ian Wright. Listen to Alex Scott.pic.twitter.com/bMXtgpb013

Alex Scott and Ian Wright have pulled no punches in this commentary – hope their words carry weight https://t.co/YGzT3liEdw

So easy to be rose-tinted at a moment of national joy. Alex Scott wasn't. And it was great to hear – and to hear it said with such passion. https://t.co/WKAjOOOF29

I love @AlexScott so much. No sugarcoating from her (or @IanWright0!) with regards to how women’s football has been sorely overlooked. https://t.co/aSeMPN5TRQ
