Remember when everyone went mad on the first female lines person.

Probably a female centre referee somewhere in the men’s game. I think some of you need to stop being sexist.

If a top football league club wanted to hire her then good luck with it. I certainly wouldn’t stop supporting my team if it was us.

I honestly think she could do a better job than Southgate. The men’s squad is at its strongest that I can ever remember and still we haven’t won a trophy with him.

Yes, but Southgate is awful 😂

I doubt if any supporters would stop supporting there team because of someone's gender.

People wouldn’t stop supporting us if we appointed Bob from The Dog & Dog Sunday 11, so what’s your point?

Are you really trying to downplay a coach that’s reached four major international tournament finals in a row, winning at least two of them, to crazy golf level?  

 

Well yeah, as I wasn't talking about the Masters either.

Similar to Sir Clive Woodward without proper backing doomed to failure but with proper backing would be an interesting idea

I'd be all for it, but there's no way she'd come to us IMO.

Is this Bob a man or a women?

[AlexLaw76]

Would fans be as excited if we went after Phil Parkinson or such like?

You're trying too hard, you need time away and a reset mate. A world cup is the pinnacle in any sport, obviously.

I don’t know why the FA would bring in someone from a different sport to run one of the top men’s teams in international football?

The women's world cup in australia has generated the second highest income of any global sport event, behind only the mens world cup. Seems pretty major to me.

FIFA chief Gianni Infantino said on Friday the Women's World Cup had generated more than $570 million in revenue 

 

Is that really the 2nd highest of any global sport...ever?

Here's hoping FIFA are giving a large chunk of that to developing the women's game, if they haven't been doing so already.

That seems to be global revenue. Now ahead of the Tour de France.

the 2019 Rugby Union World Cup was something like £4bn. So the claim is clearly bollox (as per)

Infantino said it in his speech:

"We didn't lose any money and we generated the second highest income of any sport, besides of course the men's World Cup, at a global stage."

NFL is number one, but that’s a league. Depends on what parameters the pillock has set for the grand statement.

I'd love it,  would probably kill off half the forum with heart attacks,    and that would be a good thing.
