Owners have gone on record as saying they'd love to appoint a female manager. Obviously very succesful and would be a eye catching appointment but also a risk....

Have they? Where's this?

Shes gone on record as saying a L1 mens club job is not a step up.

I dont think she would take the job.

Also its a big risk at this moment in time. More likely the owners would look at it if Cook had left on a high.

L1 mens is not a step up from womens football. Is she having laugh? Technical ability, pace of the game, ability to think quickly, pressure to achieve, money involved. League 1 mens football is at least two leagues above women's international football. I once watched a bunch of you tubers take on the arsenal women's team at particular skills, including saving penalties and taking free kicks. The you tubers won mmmm, food for thought.

Womens football has progressed so much but sorry it's still no where near the men's game and is currently still non-league standard.

Untested in the mens game is the risk!


Tested in the men's game is also a risk. Every appointment is a risk. You minimise the risk by the quality of the appointment, not by their gender.

Ready! Steady! Cook!

Managing in L1 may well not be a step up. Im sure managers for top teams in the Women's game get a much larger salary than most L1 managers do.

How well does she know L1? would be my question.

No problem if she's actually best person for the job & can make a case for that at interview, but as someone else said, "first" to do anything is a risk. She'd get a lot of stick from misogynists, esp from other clubs' visiting fans & if on a poor run; and a lot of media attention. Does she have the psychological strength to handle all that?

If the answer to all the above is "yes" then fine by me - except the timing doesn't feel right, this doesn't seem a good time in our history to be going out on a limb - we need stabilising and steady improvement more than going out on a limb.

From the point of view of ITFC back in the headlines making history in a good way though - great! and of course Gamechanger would love that. Unless it all went tits up, obvs ...


Agree in general but any club appointing a new manager could likely say that it wasn't the best moment to take risks since the very existence of a vacancy is almost always contingent on recent failure.

Whilst that's true, our particular problem is that our failure isn't just recent - it goes back literally years, unfortunately.

This would get a hard no from me. Nothing against a woman managing a male team, but I'd rather we're not the first ones to go down that route.

Regardless of her success in the womans game, I just can't see her replicating with a male team.

Actually I wonder if a bigger issue for her might be that hardened professionals might dwell on the fact that she never played the game to any level just as some of our senior players were said to have reacted to Hurst.

I think Ashton was asked about it and he said he wouldn't have a problem with it.

Not sure anyone said they would love to as if it's an actual goal of theirs.


Yeah, he'd be in all sorts of trouble if he said no way.

Why not? Some of the best CEO's in business are woman in a male dominated world.

Ludicrous she couldn't do or even better her male counterpart in football management.

FWIW I doubt she would be interested, due to the fact that woman's game is growing at a rate and why would you leave a club at the summit, to a 3rd tier club.

Seems to me he's talking about women's football and/or a female coach in general. I don't think he's talking about the next manager of ITFC!

I can see it now

Town loves me,
Not like Norwich families.
With a great big crowd,
And a score of three to two,
I support the Ipswich too."

There's a few good reasons, not least she would have to be outside of the changing room so much.

It maybe OK to manage what is little more than a 'dog chasing a ball on the beach' standard of football, but I am not sure if it would work in the proper game.

And there's a good reason women do not play against the men, even in unofficial matches. They would get mullered, and it would bring the whole idiocy crashing down around their ears.

Play golf, tennis, swimming, track events etc and allowing for the discrepancy in weight they can compete with men. But somehow the female body is not suited to football.

She not playing, she's a manager. What are you on about?

And for the record, in Tennis, Amélie Mauresmo was Lucas Pouille's coach. And, in swimming, Mel Marshall coached world record holder Adam Peaty...

I think you would be surprised. The players certainly get a higher salary in league 1 than the women in the wsl. Paul Cook could have been on a comparable salary. Certainly championship managers and players are on a much higher average salary than the wsl. Plus average crowds are higher in league 1 than the wsl.

Clermont had a female coach (Corinne Diacre) for three seasons in Ligue 2. It went fine. Nothing spectacular, but fine. She's now in charge of the French women's national team.
