There has been more attention on Hayes than ever before following the announcement she was leaving, and her media conferences have sparked plenty of interest.

A controversial comment on player-player relationships appeared to upset some at Chelsea, including England defender Jess Carter – who liked tweets on social media criticising Hayes’ use of the word “inappropriate” on the issue.

Hayes later said she “let herself down” with the comments.

In March, she claimed Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall showed “male aggression” during their Continental Cup final defeat, and appeared to shove him after full-time.

In response to questions over her behaviour towards Eidevall a few weeks later, she said “you cannot meet aggression with aggression”.

There were also raised eyebrows when she made a premature claim “the title was done” following defeat by Liverpool at the start of the month – many believing it was mind games to tempt Manchester City into complacency.

City were beaten by Arsenal days later.

It has been a rollercoaster season both on and off the pitch and, like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get in a Hayes media conference.
