sum31uk Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Revealed on the BBC today that she is a big jambo. She has a great managerial CV and is currently doing a fantastic job for Scotland. Would Hearts fans welcome her as manager once Levein hangs up his umbro baseball cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tynecastlesmychurch Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Don't think it will happen at any top flight or championship clubs around Europe for a good while yet. But personally I'd be fine with it. If your good enough etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabienleclerq Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 If she's good enough then absolutely. I wonder if there is as big a gap in coaching standards as there is in playing ones though? I doubt we would take a punt on someone who hasn't coached in the men's game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwindonJambo Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) I thought she came across very well as a pundit. She knows her stuff and has previously managed men’s teams, It was pleasing to hear she’s a big Jambo but she was still very objective in her analysis. That said, I think it will be a while before we see a woman managing professional men’s teams, if ever.

That game was played at Swindon, half a mile from my work. It attracted a crowd of 11,000, twice what Swindon Town get at a run of the mill home game. The town centre and magic roundabout were gridlocked. Standards in women’s football are definitely improving with several professional national leagues.

Jodami Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 It's only a question of time before someone takes a chance on a leading woman manager. No chance we could ever recruit a male manager who got a team to a World Cup. Well regarded by many people as a coach. Her desire to succeed would be intensified as she would be a pioneer as a top flight manager in the UK. More inspiring than most of the shouts I have heard for next manager and infinitely preferable to the coaching staff we have in place.

Unknown user Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 If she proves herself in lower leagues I don't see why not, but she'd need that kind of credibility in the men's game before she'd command the necessary respect in the changing room IMO.

adambraejambo Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 When she stops with Scotland maybe bring her in as a u18 manager. Give her a few years with the youngsters and let them get to know her. If she a success then let her progress with the team to u21/reserve manager. So if she ever appointed 1st team manager the backbone of our squad will know and respect her and fight for her. No way straight in as no 1.

The board took a massive risk with the Cathro appointment & it wouldn’t surprise me if Ann Budge took a shine to this idea too bringing in a female coach. The Cathro experiment didn’t work out to good obviously and I just think the poor PR we had from then would stop this type of thinking until an English team tried it first.

Rudi5kaceldream1ng Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 That would be a World first in top flight men’s football I believe? As I said before hearts are not an experiment,we’re a serious football club, if we were to appoint Kerr she would have to prove herself at another men’s professional team first and that’s that. Let’s say she does do that and wins a Scottish cup for example with another men’s team then yes I’d be all for it, but we can’t risk another “cathro” moment again.

jambopilms Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Would be the same circus as Cathro, media would go mental. Kris Boyd would have a field day. I wouldn't mind if she was a top manager but it would be drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I think she’d have to coach in men’s football first. The problem for me isn’t her gender but the level of woman’s football compared to men’s. It’s not only that but say we did appoint her and she failed miserably, what would that say about woman coaches? No one would ever give another woman a chance ever again. If she can prove herself as a coach in league 1 or the Championship here in Scotland as a good coach then it would be a yes from me. Like others have said, it would be Ian Cathro territory and an enormous gamble which I don’t believe is something we should be looking at ever again.
