Really? You’d want a manager who has been coaching and managing players of a similar level to Three Bridges?
Listen to her talk about football. Look at the way she sets up her teams...the way she covers the players who are not as good. Listen to her players speak about the training ground routines. Listen to the praise she gets from other managers, such as Brendon Rodgers. Hear about how she had to set up the training ground and team changing areas, turning it from an amateurish hotchpotch to a professional set up.
Any new manager can be a success or a failure such is the way in football. No guarantees.

No way would she drop down to our level.

The game at this level happens a million times quicker than the level she’s currently coaching at. The phase would be gone before she had time to put the whistle in her mouth and pull it back, let alone to make her point.
Players will always talk favorably of coaches routines and abilities when they are being picked and being successful and even in the female game Chelsea’s budget - remembering many teams at that level still aren’t even full time - it would be hard for Chelsea to not be in with a shout of winning trophies.
Brendan Rodgers or any other top level coach would be committing career suicide if they dared make a disparaging remark regarding a female coaches abilities. He’d be seized upon, much like Mr Yems has been.
Her training ground, changing areas and amateurish hotchlotch of a set up, would always be improving as the profile of the woman’s game improves and as the awareness of equal opportunities becomes more high profile.
Coming to a league two club would be a huge drop down in terms of facilities, player finances and opportunity….but most of all it would provide a huge drop in percentage chance of winning a single thing.
A totally unnecessary career risk when there is a huge chance that a) she’d never command the respect from the dressing room following her previous remarks of clubs “not being able to afford her” and b) the level and speed of the football and footballers would expose her ability to identify correct and coach the players playing in order to make any sort of impact.
My own opinion is, in short, it would be an unmitigated disaster and a risk only to be taken by owners looking to make a splash of publicity rather than one’s looking to make progress and be successful.
Well most people within the game seem to think Emma Hayes could handle mens football.
However I'm not convinced it would be right for the club due to the media circus that would result. After the Mark Wright saga, then Yems, then the crypto takeover it would be better to stick to the football for a bit.
