Emma Hayes for next EFC manager

[PKwalnuts]

Would you accept a woman coach/manager for EFC?

Simple question that invokes instant controversy....

Why not though?

I Don't believe it would happen, but I saw Brendan Rodgers praising her recently, and I guess it is only a matter of time before a team tries this.

After all, don't Women make the greatest modern leaders anyway?

 

[Dorf]

Simple answer. Yes! Especially her.

 

[tsubaki]

if its her or Martinez, then yes

 

[helpimonfire]

Yes, and Amanda Holden

throwing my support behind this. plus it will be great for us to help the prem become more equal for both sexes ?

While I think she has done a good job and could be a good manager, I don't think managing Chelsea womens is comparable to getting a PL mens job.

The womens game is improving but it is still years behind the mens game and if I had to be honest, I would say the comparison would be womens PL to maybe League two in terms of budgets and overall professional set up. I just did a quick google and Chelsea womens had a budget of £5m a year in 2019 so I think she would need to prove herself going through the leagues in the men's game, just like any other manager besides the odd one or two who get jobs purely because they used to be good players.

…certainly a better coach than Benitez.

The gender of the manager doesn't matter but, like any of the other candidates, they have to have shown they can perform at the level expected

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Honestly, I have no idea who this lady is but I don’t care who the person is, sex, race, ethnicity anything, if they can get Everton winning games and challenging for trophies and Europe and eventually winning a damn trophy then yes, 1000 times yes

I suspect Tom and Dom will be a little put out when she doesn't get mocked for wearing a skirt to work and they do.

 

[trueblue84]

No, but simply because she is not experienced at managing a load of lads and they would probably be a nightmare. I do think we should have more women in the coaching staff to give them a potential route to managing the men's team in future, though.

It does when you take all the different cultures and backgrounds into account.

 

[Zeitgeist]

No.

We are in a relegation fight, not the time to be giving someone with no experience in even men's football a job.

 

[Abertonian]

Why not she's used to taking charge in a dressing room full of fannies.
