Chelsea's women team manager is a bigger job then ours
People can laugh all they want on here but it’s true.
How do you define bigger then?
Higher profile, better paid, better infrastructure, she's still got ambitions around the Champions League and competing with Barcelona.
It's lower profile, isn't it? Compare the gates at The Valley and attendances at ordinary Chelsea Women's matches.
Infrastructure I wouldn't know about, but ours isn't bad, and set to improve.
Pay? How do you know?
Her ambitions about the Women's Champions League and competing with Barcelona, are not comparable with playing in the men's the Champions League and competing with Barcelona.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big supporter of women's football, but I don't think it's yet reached the stage where Chelsea's women's team is a bigger deal than Charlton.
Sky Sport are desperately trying to promote the woman's game……I think they’ll find the results somewhat disappointing and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them scale down considerably in the not too distant future. I love the fact that women are now playing football to a much higher standard and long may they do so.
I have genuinely tried to get more interested but I find the standard way below what the man’s game has to offer. Therefore, sad to say, I have no time for it as there is so much male professional football on offer via TV and the media…etc.

Profile wise I reckon Hayes would be better know by the general public then any League 1 manager, WSL games on terrestrial free to air and her profile generally is huge. Infrastructure wise, Thomas has plans for SL but it isn’t Cobham, and money wise I’m taking a guess, but I don’t think she’s on bad money at Chelsea, suspect she’s one of the highest earning women in team sport in Europe
If Hayes is the best candidate then fine but purely because she’s a woman it’s a massive gamble. No reason why that should be the case but if it went tits up the potential for egg on face and I told you so’s would be enormous.
18 months without losing in the Premier away from home and he loses at Leicester and he can't set up a team.
Solskjaer is spending more time with his money and would Michael Carrick be interested in the job at Cafc after doing a decent job with the giant egos at old Trafford. Carrick and Rooney both in the 3rd tier next season ?
I would far rather he went through a thorough process than just went on a name. There are some really excellent and exciting young coaches/managers around and it’ll be worth the extra week/ten days to get the right one.
If it is Beale that they have their eye on and there is a chance, I can imagine he’d want to wait until after the Man City game next weekend.
I know MW's not coming here, but spoke to a QPR fan today who mentioned they had been blighted with injuries, played their 5th choice keeper, just missed out on the playoffs ( bit gutted) but their form in the last 10 - 12 games was relegation form , they were in the top 6.
Shipped loads of goals from set pieces, were big on a Zonal defence ( which didn't work) had a lot of players under 25 , linked with Manning (thats us out then) Charlie Austin is leaving QPR apparently , as he's not played much.
I do feel a bit like Watford rushed their appointment. Forest Green looked great for a lot of the season but they limped over the line at the end, only winning 4 of their last 17 games, losing 6 and drawing 7. They ended up only winning the title on goal difference (level with Matt Taylor's Exeter) and I feel like if the season had gone on a couple of weeks longer Bristol Rovers might have overtaken them. Some people are turning their noses up at Taylor signing for us as a League One manager but Watford have brought him in as a Championship manager with aims to be back in the Premier League after a year, a L2 manager with two thirds of an excellent season behind him. I hope he does well, I like him, but they've really not hung around on what is quite an ambitious appointment for him

Unlike the Watford board to be rash in their decision making!
Cor woman cant manage men because of biological differences. JESUS christ what century are we in. Ive had female managers for the entirety of my 'career'. Some have managed me okay, some have managed me brilliantly one was a incompetent disaster. Nothing to do with a biological difference.
On a side note the only man who ever managed me for any period of time was a crystal palace supporting acholic bully.
Biological differences between men and women cor blimey wheres is the cave man mallet.
A close friend of mine (late 60's) Managed boys football teams when her lads were young. As they got older she continued and even when they packed in she continued. Don't get me wrong it wasn't Chelsea FC, but she was respected and headhunted at times, by rival men's teams, as she got numerous promotions etc. He son in his 40's was a UK national title speedskater and remains so in veterans class. As such her ability to coach and support sportsmen and women, is based on her people skills. She has gone toe to toe with blokes that got upset at being subbed or not picked and they've usually come back and apologised.
I'm not suggesting that a novice woman should manage Charlton, but an experienced female coach shouldn't be discounted.
As for men and women playing together (no innuendo) that is not going to happen.
Whoever we get I just hope that they are bloody successful and we secure promotion.

When he was announced my mate said it makes him statistically the person least likely to be Watford manager, in the world at Christmas.
Another factor is will TS be giving out more these performance based contracts?
Not sure Beale would be happy to leave Villa if he gets very little compensation should we not make the play-offs.
It’s one thing to require the new manager to change the entire playing philosophy, which usually takes years, it’s another thing to expect immediate results.
I'd be happy with Carrick, Warburton, Beale or Taylor
Emma Hayes may well be the best candidate and someone somewhere will take a punt on her sooner rather than later - she's clearly very good at her job, but personally I think we are enough of a basket case club without the inevitable circus that will follow whichever professional men's team do appoint her. That and I don't particularly like her when I've heard her as a pundit etc. I'd rather appoint one of the other 4 mentioned and go quietly about our business assembling a team of free transfers to storm the league

I think the contract Jackson got was because Thomas didn't want him in the first place and had already written off the season. If we had just missed out on the play offs he probably thought it would be worth sticking with him.

The right appointment is worth waiting for.

Don't shoot the messenger!
If we'd appointed already some on here would be saying its been rushed / made in haste.
The South London Press has been told that paying the compensation for Beale to leave Villa is not likely to be an issue for the US-based Dane.
I assume he means that we'd just be buying him out of his contract.

His reputation and name is surely at that level where he gets a Championship job right out the gate (similar to Rooney, Lampard etc).
