I sense some fragile masculinity in this thread.

There are two points to make here. Firstly, we have had male coaches in the women’s game for ages (Gareth Taylor?) so why not the other way round.
Secondly, is Hannah Dingley the best qualified for the “interim” job? Not sure what level she has played at in the women’s game - only info is that she has only ever been a coach (mostly academy), and in this case is she going to be a Ben Garner or a Jose Mourinho?
Clearly she is in the right place at the right time and is therefore the obvious choice, especially with it being at FGR… or am I being somewhat disingenuous there?

She probably won a vegan pasty baking competition in Nailsworth, that'd qualify you for a job at the Gumps  |

Surely it’s about the right person for the job. If that’s a woman that’s fine by me. Surprised by some of the comments on here. Are you surprised by the comments or surprised that people are brave enough to air their genuine opinions? |

For me, whilst I have absolutely zero issues with women managers and equality of opportunity for all sexes etc.. the one sticking point will be the changing room mentality/banter. The players might be biting their tongue to not say the wrong thing and a room full of blokes trying their hardest not to make a rude willy joke or something, I dunno. It's trivial I know, and I'm not explaining myself very well. I just know it was a whole different PE lesson when our teachers were blokes, than when we had the female teachers! |

I don’t understand why females couldn’t manage a men’s footballing side? The divide is crossed the other way with males in the female game.
Like everything in football it’s a results based business and if you’re good enough to manage the team to good results then you’re good enough to manage a football club.
Simple as that.

"Better to keep quiet and be thought of as a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt." Some people love to think they are controversial when they are just a bit stuck in the past. The world moves on, some get left behind. |

Could have a trained chimpanzee in charge as long as it gets them relegated to where the belong.

Also thing is to note it’s a caretaker role to be performed on a temporary basis.
Plenty of male academy managers have stepped up to this type of role and no-one has even batted an eyelid.

If they’re good enough they’re female enough ….. or something like that

Careful with those words Eric, we're sailing very close to democracy here in having an individual opinion. Whereas we now live in a society we're everyone is expected to be a sheep and all agree with one another. We must not have individual opinions, how dare these people object and have amind of thier own! Down with democracy, let's follow Russia and China and do and think as we're told. |

Like everything in football it’s a results based business and if you’re good enough to manage the team to good results then you’re good enough to manage a football club. Simple as that. I would guess that it's easier to cross the divide from the faster paced, more physical men's game, than it is to step up from the women's game. Time will tell, there are some women that I can imagine succeeding in the lower leagues. |

This isn't primary school. If someone can't perform their job without saying something that offends someone they work with based purely on that person's sex then they are the problem not the person they've upset. Let's not forget many clubs have women in the dressing room anyway (physios, doctors etc.)... This won't be new to most players. Footballers aren't known for their brains but I'm sure they can handle it! |

I'm not normally up for an argument on here, but some people need to look at themselves.
My mother, wife, daughter and daughter in law all had/have jobs in male dominated environments and all have been successful. They have also all suffered abuse from dickheads whilst doing them.
Having a reasoned discussion is absolutely what a forum is about, being abusive isn't.
I'm off for a while to calm down
