‘Couldn’t afford her’ is quoted here as being a quip, so I wouldn’t be getting outraged by that.)))

what is interesting to me is the comparisons being made, chelsea women could not beat Wimbledon men etc. But that is not her job. Her job is to coach Chelsea ladies to beat the opposition. If she became Wimbledon boss, her job would be to have success against other league one men’s teams. If she is a good coach, why couldn’t she do this? i can’t see any reason why coaching men’s football should only be done by men. Interested to hear them.
it is a bit like the attitude to cowley in the early days with us, when the focus was on him being a teacher, when he already had the experience of successfully coaching and managing 100s of lower league games. then we have frank lampard - accepted at Chelsea after 1 failed playoff season at Derby.
on the male/female coach flip side, I am interested to see how the new coach does with England women, replacing the distinctly average Phil Neville.
There is also this, to show the Europeans are ahead of us as usual.
