Women as football managers are in the same position as the black ones. Someone has to give them the chance. But instead we have the same old same old on the merry go round. Eventually it will happen. But when it goes wrong it will be because she's a woman.

I am inclined to agree but at least black players are already in the industry to start with!! I think the women's game needs to be much stronger before a woman will ever stand a chance of getting a managers job. It needs to be a fully professional league for starters and the overall standard needs to rise dramatically, but above all else it requires media exposure. Over here the female leagues get decent coverage, particularly basketball and the college sports, which are huge over here, have plenty of female coaches and managers but still no breakthrough in the men's leagues. Not sure we will see it in my lifetime!!
