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....

Town's average attendance is 10 times that of Chelsea Womens - I'm sorry but it's complete nonsense that Town would be a step down


"Chelsea are by and away the most popular club when it comes to regular attendees with an average of 3000 turning out at Kingsmeadow during the season. "

Been a while since our average attendances were 30k.

Absolutely no chance.
Regardless of the merits no female manager has ever managed a men's team above tier 9 in the football pyramid (e.g. Woodbridge Town).

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.


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

So how does that affect Phil Neville? Or is it a case one one rule for one and one for another?

Average Ipswich attendence: 19,564
Average Chelsea Women's attendence: 3,000
19,564/3,000=6.52

So 6.52 times more... Which is a lot. Roughly 16,564 more people per game.

Think he forgot to say at the end, Woman know your place!

Considering we have a few pro ladies where do people think they train when the ladies side are not being coached as they are not a pro outfit yet. I believe those who are pros train with the U23’s does anyone know if that’s right?

The average attendance is actually 2,570

So yes, I should have said 7.5x

In fairness, about 52% of the population aren't smart enough to vote. I'd imagine around half of them are women.

Do bear in mind that the pretend owners are about as much in touch with football in this country as Boris Johnson is with truth and reality.

They can appoint Barney the purple dinosaur for all I care as long as we get promoted.


you say that, but his songs at the post match interviews would be a real pain.

Brilliant idea - and how cool to be the first professional men’s club to have a female manager?

As in all walks of life, women need to be twice as good as men to do the same job. Well, let’s give her a try!

having thought about this now for a full 10 minutes, and without believing for a moment that it will happen or would guarantee success, it's the first name i've felt at all excited about.

She wouldn’t need to try very hard to be as twice as good as our last three male managers.

Hayes, Appleton, Johnson, Lampard, Bruce, Harris… I know who I’d pick from that list.

If she is deemed to be the best candidate, fine.

But I would be concerned that some potential transfer targets may be put off coming here to work under a woman manager. Despite the generally favourable responses on this thread, misogyny is alive and kicking in our society.

So, we can have a female head of state (QEII), female prime ministers, including one who took us to war (Falklands) but we can't contemplate a female manager of a football club?

Does anyone appreciate how ridiculous that sounds?

"Sorry, as you don't have a pen15 you can't organise players to win a football match".

It would be a bold first, but a brilliant one.
