The wide-ranging list of aims included a desire for:
*Consistently winning or contending for the Premier League and Women’s Super League titles.
“Consistently playing in the Champions League and competing for domestic cups.
*Consistently competing for titles across the youth age groups. Developing and discovering the next generation of footballing talent for the benefit of the club.

The Observer claims the Blues are considering moving for McKenna, should they decide to part ways with Mauricio Pochettino after his end of season review with the board.
Kelly’s exit
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola believes defender Lloyd Kelly has played his last game for the club.
“It looked like a farewell from Lloyd, I think he will probably play somewhere else next season,” Iraola said.
“I have to thank him, he has given everything till the last minute, even today he helped us, he probably has not played enough this season due to injuries, but has been one of us best players.”
Kelly is out of contract at the end of the season.
Mourinho’s next club
Jose Mourinho has been offered the Besiktas job, vice-president Huseyin Yucel has confirmed.
He said: “We contacted Jose Mourinho a month ago and he welcomed our offer,” Yucel claimed. “We already resolved the economic details and will go to Italy next week so we can meet face to face.
“If we reach an agreement with Mourinho, then we will recommend he include Ricardo Quaresma in the staff.”
