Time for a woman manager? (No specific suggestion)


Looking at the fact that we’re going with young foreign kids, who at their age are usually pushing back against the authority of their father, maybe a mom type would be a better bet. Growing up a boy will eventually end up in a power struggle with his father at some point and it’s the mom that keeps the ship steady.
I would like to see this not for the fact she’s a woman but more for the psychological reasons. You never want to disappoint or piss of the mom because there’s no recourse.
A strong but loving hausfrau.

There'll come a time, but we're not there yet.
 
win win for me

Hire one, and she does well = spot on
Hire one and she does awful = You never have to hear about it again
 
Its how the players would react really...Wife was a nursing officer at a Sheffield hospital, before that she worked in one of the outpatient clinics
A Wednesday player, who I can't name had an appointment walked straight into the clinical area asking to be seen first as he was due to go to training.
Wife said..."You were crap Saturday, being late won't make a difference....."...Bought her a bunch of flowers in next visit
 
You do know that the chances of a female being good enough at football to play in the championship is between zero and none don't you???

That's not sexist, it's biological reality
I know. But I'm just making the point that Sex makes no difference to me. If a woman deserved to be picked I'd do it in a heartbeat. I'm not going to pick them for "equality" sake, I'd pick them because they're good enough to warrant being there.

Get on ignore you WUM ;)
 
Why not push the boat out and get a black Trans manager. It'll virtue-signal our progressiveness to the lefties and get us massive publicity. We'll be first on MOTD every week. Linekar would lick our arses.

But they can't be so it's a pointless point
 
Jacinda Ardern would be ideal .She fucked NZ and she could do the same to Sunderland.
Red is her favorite color too comrade.

Biological reality and also irrelevent.

Alison Brittain is a good example- banking to Hotrls to Chair of the Premier League.

Not sure how she can chair the premier league when she’s never pulled on a pair of boots like.
 
There is always the question if, to be a successful manager, you have to have played the game. I think no, you have to understand it and having played under a top quality manager at a big club is always an advantage but not essential. A number of very successful managers did not play at the top level. Famously Wenger and Mourinho didn't have much of a playing career. So absolutely no reason a woman could not be a top manager at SAFC or elsewhere in the top tiers of English football.

If we want to be seen as a progressive club, one thing we could do is to have a coaching/managerial academy at the club. Get people managing and coaching the various levels with us, but send them out on loan/placement, sponsor UEFA pro licences etc. We kind of do this already but I don't think it is with a formal program. If we did, then we could make sure some places were reserved for women and try to give them the openings that would otherwise be difficult. If we can't find them, produce them.

As for right now, if someone can name a female manager who is successfully forging out a career in the top four tiers of football here or at one of the larger foreign football leagues, then absolutely no reason why she could not be a contender. I'm not aware of any, so it will be a bloke.
This!

The resolution of the oedipal complex and the fear of castration by the father is far sooner than the age to play pro footy and if they still want mammy at 20 they want shipping out .
Djaku might have been the understandable exception. Bitty 🙂

Totally different point

There no reason that a female can’t do any job off the pitch but they can’t possibly compete with men on it
