Webbo Posted 12 April 2012 Posted 12 April 2012 i was referring to the need of a manager to have played at a high level... dont thibk he ever played professionally? He played a few games professionally but he didn't have a great career admittedly. You could have also mentioned another Arsenal manager Bertie Mee who didn't have much of a playing career but won the double after being promoted to manager from being the physio.
21st Century Fox Posted 12 April 2012 Posted 12 April 2012 Jose Mourinho was a translator, he only played as an amateur. AVB didn't play at all. It's a bit like saying, women can't be teachers at all-boys schools. If they're qualified to do the job (relevant coaching badges) there's no reason why a sport can't be dragged out of a mind set eventually.

I understand that Malawi has their first this week - that makes two in Africa.
Les-TA-Jon Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 I seriously doubt that a squad of Male footballers would be able to cope (consciously or otherwise) with receiving footballing instructions/training/orders from a women.
Guest BlueBrett Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 Omg so now they don't just want preferential treatment when it comes to elections to executive boards and political shortlists they want to invade football as well? **** my life
Mack Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 Football is a results business. If a woman, and alien or even a donkey could deliver the right results then they would be employed. I dont subscribe to all this positive discrimination bollocks, if you are good enough then you will rise through the ranks.
Daggers Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 Maybe we can go for a halfway house option first like a ladyboy or one of the posters from Bentleys Roof (as they're just a bunch of girls)? And I love that Karen Brady believes she has the right to talk about sexism when she has spent a career being a poodle to a pair of the country's biggest pornographers.

We've had plenty of donkeys manage us and they were by definition all shit.
Saxondale Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 It won't happen. Not because of inequality or bigotry or anything like that. Simply because a high-profile manager's job will be given on merit - and there is no such platform in order for a woman to earn such merit. OK, there's the women's Premier League but a) I think many of the coaches are men anyway and b) It's a bit like going go-karting with your mates, beating the lot of them and then expecting to be offered a drive in Formula 1.

Did you have any female teachers at school? I did I tended to disregard everything they told me because they've got vaginas, and the laws of gravity dictate that if they had a brain in the top of their body it would have fallen out of hole at the bottom of their body along time ago. I had a male physics teacher though.
Kitchandro Posted 14 April 2012 Posted 14 April 2012 This is men's football. What next, female players?
Corky Posted 14 April 2012 Posted 14 April 2012 This is men's football. What next, female players? I don't mean to be sexist, but I still can't believe they let female supporters into the ground.
Daggers Posted 14 April 2012 Posted 14 April 2012 I'm still stuck at the whole voting, driving, talking at the dinner table thing. I'm definitely not sexist though as I know many woman and I even married one.
Leicesterpool Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 After just mentioning it in the woman's olympic football topic, I wanted to take this discussion futher because like i say how would you feel somebody like Hope Powell coming to manager Leicester. Would it work? Having just watched the Great Britain team play Brazil I was impressed with there fast attacking, enthusiastic football something we would love to see at Leicester.
Guest MattP Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 Massive difference in standard and the first thing you need is respect of the players, don't think we are at the stage where a woman would get that yet.
Guest MattP Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 I like the fact someone says "black lesbian disabled" and in Hope Powell we actually manage to get two out of three!
Leicesterpool Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 Can we move this into that topic? didn't realize it already had been made.
Ashley Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 I like Womens football and I helped run a girls team however they shouldn't be allowed into men's football. Two completely different standards of football it would just be wrong.
Leicesterpool Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 Every guy would love to manage a ladies team wouldn't they? We have female PE teachers who teach male students!
21st Century Fox Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 We've had top flight managers who've never kicked a ball professionally, there's no reason a woman couldn't comprehend and dictate the same tactics.
