I don't mind if they have big knockers .
Usually they ain't much to look at , give me a youngish Bridget Bardot , Raquel Welch lookalike know your talking .
Maybe a lower league club could experiment like Bristol city.

No. I don’t have anything against a concept in principle but you need to first work your way up the leagues. If a female manager came straight to the PL and failed it you would have several issues.
1 it would kill any future for female managers trying this.
2 if it was us it would make Spurs looks ‘progressive’ or ‘woke’ but the second she got sacked by Levy you know how the media will spin things will us. It would be seen either as a joke doing it in the first place or it would be spun as a sexist sacking.
3. A lot of fans would sadly be on her back soon as it started to go wrong.
4 some players might think it was nothing more than a political decision taking nothing in to consideration about their futures and that could be toxic.
Try at the lower leagues and build up dealing with young competitive blokes, if she could survive that and do really well then we could have this conversation.

Too big a leap.
They need to manage at a better level for a few years before risking it.
I have no probs with the idea in principle,just not yet.

I'd compare it more to being like a youth coach. Non-league football is fly-by-night in a way the Women's PL is not. But women's players are psychologically and physiologically different from men's players in a way non-league players are not. It's not a lesser version of the same game, it's a different game.
Women can absolutely coach men and that will become more and more common in the future across all of sports. It's of course just virtue signaling to suggest that someone with no experience in the men's game should jump to an operation the scale of Spurs, but hey, when you leave the job open for months, that's what you invite.
Becky Hammon in basketball should be looked at as a role model here. She became an assistant under one of the most respected and influential coaches in the NBA (critically someone with enough standing in the game to hire a woman as an assistant and not face scrutiny for it) and has built up her credibility that way, and proven she belongs in that environment. She may very well end up being the one to break this barrier down in major sports.
Basically they need to follow the path Mikel Arteta did in becoming the first Lego person to manage in the PL
Depends , if it’s between her and Southgate then let’s get her in on a 12 month contract! 
Plenty of time , no rush , if she waits 3 years we will be in div 2
You honestly think it's happening anyway? Get over it...Wow, that's not sexist much...
...and if it did happen, I'd bet you anything it would be a complete disaster.
1) Another ex Chelsea coach, is this becoming a problematic fetish for Levy?
2) Has all this conversation over the topic really just snowballed from a throwaway one liner from that chode Hercules? Or has there been a more reliable source, like that octopus that predicted a few correct results at one of the World Cups?

Southgate is more of an old woman than err... an old woman
It's utterly nonsensical but some people have got if in their head we should go for if.
I mean, we could go to any lower men's league in the world and find someone with a similar CV. Being above average at an incomparable, inferior version of the sport doesn't qualify anyone to leap into the absolute elite level of the men's game. Not for us or any PL team.
I'm not against women coaches, I am against people getting a job as an experiment rather than on merit.
The best person to manage a top flight male football team is a man, born with a cock and bollocks.
Not interested in her or any other managers genitals tbh.
If she bins Dier for Rodon and rehomes the comfortably lazy then I will happily cheer her on. It's the same yardstick I measure any manager on. If the players won't respect her because she is a female then they can fuck right off to the Chavs or City's bench.

What I'm seeing on this forum is people expressing valid reasons why a female coach is, today, a bad idea.
And the only retort the supporters of a female coach have, is to call the other group sexist.
IMO, jumping from coaching a womans team to coaching a mens Premier league team is like jumping from a tesco shelf stacker to being on the board. It's that big a difference. Any mistake is amplified. Every move is analysed. Everyone between the board and that shelf stacker will have the knives out because they'd rightly ask why someone leapt ahead of them without proving themselves.
My question isn't whether a woman can coach a mens side. My question is should the first woman to coach a mens side be in the Premier League.
I can't see any sensible reason it would be a good idea. For the club, the woman, the fans, everyone.
