Talk this morning of the Football League having a female boss within a decade.

FA director and former Millwall executive Heather Rabbatts believes there could be a female manager at a professional football club within a decade.

Rabbatts thinks there is a need for more women at all levels of the game and attitudes are changing.

Speaking to Sky Sports on International Women's Day, she said: "I think within a decade we will start to see some women appearing on the touchlines.

"I would like to see more chief executives as women and more of the team doctors as women. We live in an age when over 50 per cent of medical students are women so I think it is about a commitment to the whole game in terms of representation. Whether that's from the coaching and the development side to the running of organisations."

There are only 3 women with the required licence but if that's the case why can't there be a female manager now?

David Gold just made himself look a knob on the subject....

West Ham have a female chief executive in Karren Brady but Hammers joint-chairman David Gold believes there will never be a female manager.

Gold told Sky Sports: "How is she going to deliver that motivation before kick off? How is she going to deliver? How is she going to raise the testosterone levels in the players? I just find it very, very difficult that she is going to be swearing because it is part of the culture."

He should come round my local on a weekend the women have no problem swearing and I've seen a few knock men out with 1 punch, but I digress.

How would you feel if a female manager was allowed to manage our club?

Before you start imagine she looks like your own mum so that this doesn't go off topic very quickly, stay focused fellas.
 
I've said before that it is only a matter of time until we see female players joining the men's league, if they are good enough and all that...

Can't see any reason why we won't see a female boss in the future, well, apart from 'dark age' owners / chairs <doh>
 
I remember when Hope Powell was linked with the Grimsby job, surely a woman of her experience could demand a better job than Grimsby - I think a championship side would be lucky to have her as a boss

As for Liverpool... why not? We say no-one is bigger than the club but at the same time no-one should be excluded from the club based on age/sex/race/sexuality. Liverpool Football Club is an institution, a leader on the pitch and in the community, what example would it be if Liverpool turned away a female manager based simply on her gender?

I agree it seems strange that she hasn't been given a chance at a good club.
 
i don't give a monkeys personally what ruddy sex anyone is as long as they are capable of doing the job.

i hope this doesn't turn into the same bullshit as the disabled thing, where you have to have a certain number of disabled working for a company, as its prejudice against able bodied as they have no chance as they need to meet a quota.

will we bring in a quota where certain number of women are required to work in the job, we cant have prejudice in this day and age surely lol

if Women can do the job, great, give them the job, but i don't want to see someone getting a job who it is plainly obvious is useless, just because we have to have a certain number of women working in the field.
 
As far as I'm concerned, a green-spotted purple monkey from Mars could have the job if it's the best at it.
 
I think a lot of clubs would benefit from a female manager, or just more females in the system in general. However, the biggest problem I can see is how the players react to having a female manager, whether they do what she says or just dismiss her.

It would have to be done over a period of time, it certainly wouldn't be advisable to just throw them in the deep end <ok>
