TBF, your lot were not significantly better.
Like the covid variants
We weren’t. But we were better imo. But it is what it is.
OK, enjoy.
We're getting closer and closer to a Ryan Mason appointment, aren't we.
At this point I’d welcome Emma Hayes . Simply because it would put an end to this circus.
But further to that benefit I don’t subscribe to the tenet that just because women can’t compete with men on the field (generally at the top level), that they can’t hold their own on the touch line. To equate playing with managing is ridiculous. We all know that it’s VERY rare for a top player to make a top manager.
I really cannot see any reason why a female should not have all the relevant skills required to be a first class coach and or manager.
If the best candidate happens to have xx chromosomes then I say bring it on.
I’ve absolutely no idea if Emma Hayes has the necessary professional and personal (not biological) attributes, but if she does, the fact she’s a woman is not of concern to me.

Good post.
Also, Levy appointing a woman as head coach at a top club would be great PR for him/ENIC, etc.
It would also be the only reason
Yep, agree with all of this.
My main concern would be experience as a manager (rather than gender or playing experience).
Certain tactics may work in the WSL where players are not as quick or physically strong, but not on the men’s game.
I’d agree with tactics not matching between the genders. However, you’d hope that a decent manager would realise that and adjust accordingly. Again, just because someone can’t do it doesn’t mean they can’t coach it.
We are still far from seeing a top club appointing a women as manager. And surely won’t be levy doing it first
This is probably a controversial opinion but a woman would likely have no clue how to motivate a group of testosterone-fueled male footballers. It would be like getting told off by your mother - I don’t think feeling emasculated would be conducive to performance on the field.

Username checks out.
A PL club should not be the first club to appoint a woman, it sets them up for failure as they will not have the qualifications to do the job.
Even former star players with a full career playing in the PL go to lower teams to learn the game first. That is exactly what a woman who wants to manage in the PL at some point should do.
While there are similarities between mens and womens football there are a lot of differences as well. People have concerns about bringing in ETH from Ajax because of the Dutch League how can we realistically talk about bringing in someone from women's football when the greatest womens team would get destroyed by the worst Eredevsie team.

They won with Toby, who he dropped, and Jan, who he didn’t play when he had him and let leave on a free?!
