Genuinely. How would feel if she was given the chance?
I literally know 0 of her but seen her mentioned by Watson etc. And the replies that tweet were shocking.
How do you feel on here?
Weren't we the first club to bring Dutch players
Could we be the first mens team to have a female coach?
One on hand. I think it would great. On the other I'm unsure how players would act.. are they mature enough to be coached by a female. Are we there yet in life or do the tweet replies show no not yet. |  |

I don't think she'd come here but would be perfectly happy if she did.
The discrepancy between the female and male game would be laid bare, though. |  |

It would feel like a publicity stunt.
No problem for me at all if she were the best eprson for the job. But no experience of the men's game which IS different in many ways. And inevitably, not all man management issues woudl be straightforward. Though that aspect would be a fascinating social experiment. | | | |

Realistically I don't think we're there yet. |  |

Sadly, for all it's plus points - I doubt the first place that's going to embrace it is sleepy Suffolk | |

certainly talks a good game, very insightful as a pundit.
unfortunately i think the reality is that some male coaches who've been in the women's game will have to show that the skills are transferable before a woman gets a chance.
also, i'd expect to see female coaches/assistants before a manager is given a chance | |

She always comes across really well whenever I've listened to her, having said that I'm not sure we're the club to take that risk of a complete unknown given our expectations. | | | |

She's won more trophies than all of our previous managers put together. In fairness, she's only a complete unknown due to a lack of interest in women's football. | |

She’s always impressed me when I’ve heard her talk about the game and she’s been very successful of late. It would be intriguing to find out if she could transfer her skills to the men’s game. I’d just prefer to watch that sort of experiment from afar i.e. at a different club rather than my own! |  | | |

Don’t care about her being a woman but the difference between the two games is still enormous.
The talent pool in women’s football is so much smaller so if you manage a club with money you are always going to monopolise the better players.
Yes it happens in men’s football as well but it is so much more noticeable in the women’s game which is why you get such high-scoring one-sided games.
Does it make her a good coach or a privileged one? I suppose you could level that argument at a Guardiola who has only worked with Barca, Bayern and City.
But Chelsea’s women were 4-0 down after 30-odd minutes in last season’s Champions League final against Barcelona and that tells me a lot about Emma Hayes and the standards in women’s football.
The women’s game is thriving and rightly so but it still has a long way to go before we stamp out the 20-0 wins over Latvia, which do more harm than good.
Appointing a woman’s coach right now would just smack of a PR stunt. | | | |

The complete unknown is how she would work in the men's game, the dynamic of managing men, adjusting her tactics to men's football, dealing with the national spotlight being firmly on her etc. | | | |

Fair point. Though think I'd prefer her to most of the male managers linked! | |

Was it Wimbledon who were given very short shrift for suggesting something similar? |  |

I don’t think it would matter what the fans felt but rather more what the players felt. And given that a number of them had worked with Cook before/cited Cook as a reason why they came here only to perform so poorly this season, I really doubt whether any of them could suck up their pride and listen to what a female coach was telling them.
