LONDON (Reuters) - The top tiers of women's football in England should have stronger financial controls to halt the growing disparity between big clubs and smaller ones, Crystal Palace co-owner and chairman Steve Parish said on Thursday.

The Women's Super League and second-tier Championship have a salary cap system where clubs can spend up to 40% of their turnover on salaries. However, as that includes the parent club, the bigger men's teams often have an advantage for their women's sides.
