The head coach is convinced the environment is right to build on the success already achieved, on the back of last season's Adobe FA Cup triumph, with the Reds currently in third spot in the WSL table and pushing hard for a Champions League spot.
Of course, there is also a big FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City on Sunday 13 April to anticipate, and the announcement of Skinner's new contract means the foundations are very much set for the future.
"I'm a big fan of sporting documentaries," Skinner told club media in a fascinating interview to mark his new deal.
