Saints or Falkirk ain't winning the sc within the next 50 years either. I agree, but as a number two or part of the coaching team, no issue at all. Saints won the cup in 2014.

Paolo Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I’s rather she was tested in the men’s game elsewhere first. If she succeeds, then why not? Not sure what her contacts will be like, when it comes to signing players, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stewart has no managerial experience. Shelley Kerr does. Yes but it is not her management experience which is exciting the OP, it is that she is PHW...it is pathetic how anyone who has ever played for or supported Hearts is regarded as being at the top of the list.

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? Why not?. Hearts have shown the way with lots of initiatives since AB took over so I don't see why there would be any problem. She certainly knows her stuff and it would get the football world taking note of Hearts if it were to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morph Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 If she is a good manager then don’t really care if she’s a man or a woman. Womens football might be a lower level to men’s but not sure that really makes much difference on how you manage a team. Ian Cathro had never managed a team in his life or played football, yet we were applauding levein for taking a ambitious risk Playing is different because of the physicality but are we saying all women in football are too thick to manage a men’s squad? I don’t know about her specifically but it’s hardly out of the realms of possibility that a woman would be better at managing a football team than a man.

Shanks Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 She needs to go and manage at a higher level than the female national team, maybe somewhere like bonnyrigg rose and then work her way up.

E6 Inc Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 If she's good enough then why not. Is she good enough? Almost impossible to tell either way to be honest. For her to take on a club the size of Hearts, with the added pressure of being the first female manager etc, I would think she would need to either have a job prior to that or come in as part of the coaching team before moving up. I thought she spoke well and seemed to be highly knowledgeable so couldn't write it off. Our next manager shouldn't be a project though!

OTT Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I'm sure she'd do an excellent job for the Hearts Ladies team since Budge is giving it a decent bit of cash to get up and running. Being a Hearts fan I'm sure there would be appeal in that. That said, national team in womens football seems more consistent than league, like i'm sure ive seen players than have barely any club appearances but tons of national caps.

The OP was about Shelley Kerr being considered for Hearts not about the quality of Women's football in general. I have known Shelley from her time as manager of Stirling University FC's football squad that have teams in both the Lowland League and EOS League. She came to Stirling Uni after a stint as manager of Arsenal Ladies. I was impressed by the set-up at Striling but my son decided on a soccer scholarship to a US Uni instead. The SWFL is poor, a look at the teams that play in Div 1 does suggest the level of the ladies game. However, this is no reflection on Shelley's ability. After the World Cup she (and her lucky maroon knickers) could join Levein's backroom staff. I would have no objection to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
