Blues boss Hayes, who is set to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/no-cash-machine-heaven-emma-hayes-didnt-accept-lucrative-uswnt-job-for-money-chelsea-olympic-world-cup-glory/blt2d53c194c5a0596a" target="_blank">take charge of the USWNT when the 2023-24 campaign comes to a close</a>, has added her voice to the debate regarding partnerships inside football clubs. She has said: “Player to coach relationships are inappropriate, player to player relationships are inappropriate”

WHAT HAPPENED?

Those comments have caused quite a stir, with inter-player relationships common in the women’s game. Arsenal stars Beth Mead and Vivianne Miedema fall into that category, while Chelsea superstar <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/kristie-mewis-uswnt-engagement-chelsea-sam-kerr/bltb1d95224cc687ea4" target="_blank">Sam Kerr is engaged to United States international Kristie Mews</a> – who now plies her club trade in the WSL with West Ham.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Lionesses star Carter is coupled up with Chelsea team-mate Ann-Katrin Berger, and the 26-year-old defender would appear to have a bone to pick with her manager after liking a series of posts of social media questioning why Hayes decided to speak out on such a topic.<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blte317c9743727486e/carter_posts.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blte317c9743727486e/carter_posts.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blte317c9743727486e/carter_posts.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Jess Carter Emma Hayes posts" data-source="X" data-copyright="X" data-portal-copyright="X" perform:prop="uuid:blte317c9743727486e;width:738;height:738"></picture>

DID YOU KNOW?

Carter has liked posts suggesting that Hayes’ comments are “beyond bonkers”, “flawed” and misunderstand the “power imbalances at play”. Debate regarding inter-club relationships has resurfaced following the news that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/aston-villa-carla-ward-player-coach-relationships-sackable-leicester-willie-kirk/blt4f21737374e5a5d7" target="_blank">Leicester City Women are investigating manager Willie Kirk</a> over allegations that he has been involved romantically with one of the club’s players.
