I don't think you would but there would be many fans that would not be able to help themselves on both sides of the fence. We live in an era where we have fans telling players who once scored 15 goals in a season and played 150 games to "get the fcuk out the club"....I would not trust football fans with something more delicate by nature, maybe overly cynical, but thats how I see it TBH. Also, and this is as much our club, in our position and with the views of the club off the field, I don't think its a great environment for such a ground breaking move, people would use whoever it as proxy for getting at the board, something thats likely to happen to the new manager and players anyway.

It's not just us that she is coming into the conversation with - she was talked about quite seriously as Chelsea caretaker, both before and during Lampard's spell
He's not coming here. If Ange is too old, Spalletti is definitely too old.
Definitely not, can hear the chants already if she was appointed and went through a bad patch. There's a lack of representation of black managers when it's compared to the number of black players. That hurdle would need to be jumped first before I could really see any top club considering a woman for a manager's role and they would need to prove themselves in lower men's leagues first.
It's still levels above women's football.

In the case of coaching/managing a team, the difference is in the tools not the mechanics
Not true, your tactics and approach and a million other things will be dictated by the tools at your disposal

Better tools in the right hands will do even better

Right at the end of the process yes, but most of management is human interaction, it’s about communication and motivation, it’s about people, that’s where the real work is done.
Ok, football management is quite a lot more than just communication & motivation - it's about coaching and tactics, otherwise you'd see a lot more non football people getting jobs and doing well off the back of being good with interpersonal skills.

Of course there is loads more to it, but they are the foundations.
Specifically to Hayes, she’s dominated the league for a decade. She clearly has some talent for building and coaching a team.

That is the standard of women football. The US team (the world champions etc) got schooled by a youth grade male team as well back in the days.

Its not crazy, 14-15 Y boys teams always wins against womens teams. It fysic not tactical.
but Spurs aint going to hire a woman manager. Levy is taking the job.

I remember listening to a radio phone-in show, and the question of the day was would you rather shag Fatima Whitbread or Ruud Gullit? And the consensus was Gullit, because you'd have something to talk about after.

That would get you quite a decent job in football haha, someone somewhere has romanticised about coaching youth players despite that level being league 1 and 2 as the EFL trophy proves.
