Can't see it happening, just putting it out there!
I don't have anyone in mind and don't know much about the women's game (except it's pretty poor to watch, sorry gillsjan!) but their set up is becoming more and more professional and they seem to be properly committed to the sport and fitness in a way some male players aren't.
Women football managers are very poorly paid compared to men so it might be possible to get a "top" woman when we can realistically only hope for a fairy average or inexperienced man.

Someone out there may not like PS And will no doubt be aware of his reputation but will still be looking for a job and may feel that they can do what others have not been able to do. If the face fits and the experience is right then they may have a fit.

It is a fair point you make women's football has come a long way since my sister in law played for England around 30 years ago. In those days it wasn't the girl thing to do in fact at my brother wedding I asked where all the girls were from the football teams she played for only to be told by my brothers bride "I do not mix with that lot".These days girls are proud to play and the appeal shows if you ever go to a game technically there is very little difference. So if the players could get over the shock of it yes it could work.Personally if it was going to be done someone like Hope Powell as a director of Football somewhere could work as a day to day manager I can see all sort of problems.Even more if it was someone who some of the players and crowd fancied.I don't think the medway stand crew who have at least in part been behind a few manager exits would give her a chance even if it were a respected name in the ladies game.So in answer yes I do think it can work somewhere.But no I think unless the lady in question really hit the ground running which given you are looking at new players without time or background knowledge I find the whole think unlikely.The only way it could work is if a ladies manager regularly attended games at the level she was applying for. As far as I know there would be nobody at this time with enough knowledge of the men's game to make it work at our level.As much as I would like to see it happen one day, not here not now.

Could save even more money as she could double up as the kit women. Will know where to get cheap washing powder and conditioner and whizz through the ironing in no time. And don't forget the perfect creases in the shorts.
This is gonna hurt!!!!

I'm going to tread very carefully here after muppet!
I'd be worried it would make us a media circus, however talented the lady was. Look at what happened in France recently where a lower league club appointed a female manager.

My daughter has started playing football for a Medway girls team this season and the level of technique of some of the girls amazes me!
But a lady manager of a men's team would not work in today's current climate but as woman football evolves and as Political correctness is continually rammed down our throats who says it wouldn't happen in the future!
Andy Murray is coached by a woman and you get excellent female race horse trainers in a male dominated sport!

I suspect one big difference is that Andy Murray's coach is unlikely to have had personal, misogynist abuse hurled at her during a game by sections of the crowd. In a game where the intolerant culture means that only a handful of players have ever come out as being gay, and then generally after retiring from playing, I'm afraid female managers in the professional men's game are still years away.

Totally agree mistert and whilst not correct it is true. We have started to see women physios and perhaps this is the start and as more come into the game we will start to see more in and around the dressing room (no rude comments please).
