Homme Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 If any club was going to do this, it'd be us. Huge respect for Shelley Kerr but not yet.

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. She was also much more incisive in her analysis than the Waldorf Brothers.

Nope, Chan Yuen-ting took Eastern to the asian champions league qualifying rounds having won the hong kong premier league!

The quality of the coaching is one of the main reasons we are so poor to watch. I think as long as her ideas were good enough and the coaching sessions and overall strategy were well defined then players would now be much more willing to listen. The world has moved on from the macho attitude of players in the past. If its good they will respect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay James Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I'm not against it in principle but I'd worry about the ability to handle pressure with the men's game. I've no doubt she is a good coach but the pressure in the women's game does not compare. Id be more than happy to see her coach our reserves to see how she fared and take it from there.

cosanostra Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 This is not the place for another experimental manager. The Cathro debacle should have taught us that any manager must have a proven record of results in professional, top level football, a proven record of making signings and building a team and a proven record of achieving on a budget. If she has done those things successfully at a smaller Scottish club and she's the best person for the job then I'd give her a go. Until she's gotten Ayr promoted or something similar, her and any other novice or amateur is not worth considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazajmbo Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I could see it happening. Ann Budge is clearly trying to get us at a level where both male & females are equal at the club. Kerr is very well thought of by everyone at Hearts and has a great relationship with CL & AM. It's the kind of thing i could see Hearts doing to bring positive publicity to us for getting women involved more in mens football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
