The Women's Championship table has Coventry United at the bottom.
A week after the women's team was placed in voluntary liquidation, the players and staff are still in shock.
The Women's Championship club turned professional in time for the upcoming season.
The owners of the business that owns the cleaning brand, which is based in the city, took a 49% stake in the club in December of 2020 and are planning to go full-time a year earlier due to Covid and the EU's exit from the bloc.
The Women's Super League dreams were crushed last week when they were called into a meeting at 10am on Thursday after the cancellation of training.
The players were told their contracts would be terminated after the club went into insolvency.
We tried to be there for the players. It was very upsetting. Rowson told the BBC that he felt for everyone but the players.
Even though it's a week later, there's still an element of shock. I get that we're players and staff, but it still hurts when you find out.
Everybody has to process it in their own way.
What support has been offered?
The captain of the team contacted the players' union to ask for their support.
The players and staff of Coventry United were invited to train with the team from the National League North.
A crowdfunder page was set up to raise money for the women over Christmas.
The majority of the team are not members of the Professional Footballers' Association.
The captain contacted the players on their behalf.
Rowson and her colleagues have turned to the LMA for support.
She said that she had not had direct contact from the Football Association, but that they had spoken to the club captain and that any further dialogue would be with the directors and investors.
Rowson said there has been support from other coaches.
Our phones were ringing off the hook last Thursday as people reached out to us. The network in the female game is fantastic. She said she couldn't thank people enough.
The people who were making sure we were OK were like Emma Hayes, Laura Kaminski and Melanie Reay.
The best environment I've ever been in.
Ahead of this season, the club turned professional.
A number of players posted on social media.
To find out that you no longer have the job that you've always dreamed of is heartbreaking.
Holly said that life can be filled with things outside of your control. I'm sad.
I would like to thank you for making my dream come true. I've made friends and memories.
The good work being done at Coventry United has given Rowson some solace.
You can see what we were building. It's a positive, but it also makes it harder.
It shows that there was a lack of understanding of what was going on with us and the environment we had. I wonder if there was a mismatch in expectations.
We were building something special. I've been a coach for more than 20 years and I can say that it was the best environment I've ever been in. The progress we were making with the players was remarkable.
You were made to think that it was special when you read the messages from the players on social media. It's the biggest disappointment because it stopped suddenly.
I want to make sure that every player finds an environment that suits them and helps them progress to their potential.
What will happen next?
Rio had interest from both Durham and Villa.
Rowson is following up on every player that has been contacted by the manager.
Several players are in discussions with other clubs on potential moves during the January transfer window, including forwards Rio Hardy and Wilkinson.
Rowson admitted it might take time for others to process the new jobs that some staff members are looking for.
It's difficult to get another job in women's football during the mid-season.
There are few opportunities for staff members.
The licence agreement is expected to be investigated by the FA.
The consequences could be a number of things, including no promotion in the Championship, or the expunging of results.
It could affect other teams. The only way that the single bottom spot could be avoided is if the two teams are tied on points.
Durham lost to Coventry United in November so could benefit from that.
The FA Cup is something to consider. The next round of the FA Cup will be played in January and will feature a match between Coventry United and Billericay Town Ladies.
The outcome could be the same as that of the Notts County Ladies, who folded on the eve of the Spring Series.
The Women's National League North was created after the WSL was dropped by the Black Cats.
Both Doncaster Rovers andSheffield FC withdrew from the Championship for financial reasons.
