As ull recall Ellis said last summer that she already had a plan in place to help Davidson get ready for WC while remaining in school. I would assume that meant bringing her into youth camps and having NT staff work with her at school. Allocation is a mechanism where USSF contract players also get their NWSL salaries paid by USSoccer. I don't believe there has ever been a player who had their NWSL salary paid by USSoccer who didn't at least have a USSF contract at the beginning of the season. Several player have lost their USSF contracts during the year with USSoccer continuing to pay their NWSL salaries. There have also been cases were a USSF player didn't have their NWSL salary picked up because they were not in the NWSL at the time of allocation. Now certainly it is true amateurs don't get bonuses except for those associated with the Olympics which r set aside for them. But u don't have to look any further than Andi Sullivan who also wasn't allocated when she entered the league that things can change quickly in the Ellisverse.
Hailie Mace officially signs with Melbourne City, then will likely look to Sweden or England. Embarrassing for the NWSL. Sky Blue shouldn’t have been able to draft with their, still remaining, issues.
another defection. the nwsl surely expects all this but are powerless to do anything about it. they certainly don't want to improve the value of the team of an uncaring owner who is simply hoping to sell this team and make $$$. Former @ncwomenssoccer standout @juliaashley11 has signed with Swedish club @LinkopingsFC. She was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2019 #NWSL draft. She tells @JohnDHalloran why she chose Sweden over Sky Blue FC. 👇https://t.co/F1iF6tXRat pic.twitter.com/TvZ9I6nD7Z— The Equalizer (@EqualizerSoccer) January 22, 2019
