Default Would you have an issue with a woman such as Helena Costa managing your team?

Nah. Not at all. Giggs would go on until he's 55.

Well, obviously considering there isn't one anywhere close to being experienced enough for a job like Man United. We don't want a female David Moyes FFS

I wouldn't be bothered if they could really do the job.

Managers come and go anyway usually, it is what the players do as to commitment on the pitch every game that matters.

If a female manager could get more out of the team as to that then I would be all for it.

Without sounding sexist female managers can never replicate the background and experience of a male manager. I know there are some great managers who never did much as players but its still leagues apart from the female game where they could never really draw on their playing career as managers. And rightly or wrongly professional football at the highest level is such a male dominated atmosphere I don't know how much a female manager could excel in it.

To be fair Mourinho was hardly the greatest player on earth.

From Wikipedia:

Quote:
From an early age, football was a major part of Mourinho's life. Footballing commitments in*Porto*and*Lisbon*meant that Félix was often separated from his son. As a teenager, Mourinho travelled to attend his father's weekend matches and when his father became a coach, Mourinho began observing training sessions and scouting opposing teams.

Mourinho wanted to follow in the footsteps of his father by becoming a footballer and so he joined the Belenenses youth team. Graduating to the senior level, he played at*Rio Ave*(where his father was coach), Belenenses, and Sesimbra. He lacked the requisite pace and power to become a professional and chose to focus on becoming a football coach instead.

Anyway time will tell, this could mark a new dawn in female management or it could just be something of a stunt by a club thats never really progressed beyond a second division French side at their very best, it will take a lot for a female to manage a top club

Let's be honest once her team is promoted and she has more chance getting into champions league than Pardew has with Newcastle or Lambert with Villa.

Ah, but that's the point. Mourinho's backstory is more like this Costa woman than say like Big Sam Allydyce or Paul Ince. Mourinho was no more qualified at this stage when he stopped being the "translator" under Sir Bobby Moore than she is, in fact she is more qualified than the Special One was as as she's managed international teams and had coaching/ scouting roles at Benfica and Celtic. Mourinho at the same stage was merely interpreting Sir Bobby's Geordie talk.

Also your comment that it will "take a lot for a female to manage a top club". Erm, Moyes couldn't manage a top club and sadly for him he doesn't have the privilege of having a vagina, just a penis. I don't think Bruce Rioc, Big Phil Scolari, Mark Hughes could manage a big 4 club without getting sacked. Again, they all have the weaker genitals ie a penis. Maybe they need to "woman up" and grow a pair...of breasts to do the job.

NB women are tougher in football. SUarez falls to ground like a crying baby if a player so much as gazes in his direction. And yet during a training session with Liverpool Ladies - the only Liverpool team to win title recently - Suarez cheekily tackled a female player, but she remained on her feet, no crying nothing.

This kind of reminds me of F1 Jendon Button slating women drivers only to get beaten by a 15 year old girl in a triathlon and Jenson trying to remove story from Internet

I know you said that as a diss to women but female genitalia are stronger than mens, that's all. PS more women in US now have degrees, smarter than not very bright Floyd Mayweather. Let's be honest any women is smarter than Maywether.

I wouldn't be happy with one flying my plane, so do you really think I'd let her manage my football team.

She can cut up the half time oranges, and clean the dressing rooms.

No need to cry a river, that's what male sports stars do when they trip over on to the ground. Please let me know when Flloyd Mayweather discovers fire. Top business brains Sheryl Sandberg and Angela Ahrendts will be on hand to offer him advice on learning to understand how to keep money when he inevitably goes bankrupt with $mmm of tax liens.

The **** does this have to do with anything?

This is sports section not education forum. Mayweather is one of the "smartest" boxers in history and is pretty much a cash cow of sport. Put his name on something and people will buy/watch. If you want to play the whole "Female>Male" card...then it's only fair to say that no woman in the world of sport is bigger than Mayweather.(no shame as no man is either bar maybe Ronaldo and Tiger Woods). That is what matters..not if he has a degree

They're trying to get another female manager as well. All looking a bit discriminative in itself towards female coaches
