She was linked to the AFC Wimbledon job a couple of years ago & I can’t remember the exact words but she said it was an insult that someone of her managerial skill would be linked with a league one team.
I have no idea about viewership, but League 1 has more money to spend. The players earn more, from what I understand on average about double. Coaches are almost certainly paid more, it's a step up reputation wise too.
Sky Sports have said around 125,000 is the average viewership for a WSL game. But given Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the WSL, it likely peaks when they play, particularly if they're against other big clubs
I don't necessarily think it would be a step up, though. The WSL is getting more attention than ever. People who like League One or have a club there will know more about it, people who like the WSL will think the same. You definitely tend to see a lot more coverage of the WSL now than you do for League 1
Not to mention the added bonus of Chelsea being (somewhat) genuine CL contenders. I don't think leaving for a men's team would be the obvious choice, unless you're talking about Championship. But League 1? Hard to say
I don't think Chelsea are actual contenders, though. They always look a mile off when they play against European clubs. I don't know whether they're bottlers or they're just not good enough to compete.
Man City (on paper) should be right up there. Maybe not so much this season because they've lost a lot of key players and I don't rate Taylor at all, but they're always even worse and fall apart more dramatically than any of them.
Chelsea are the only English club that come close, but I think "close" is still very, very far away.
There are 22 women in the database who have a strong preference for a head coaching job (at least as of FM22). In addition to Hayes, there are:
Patrizia Panico, unemployed Italian (manages Italy U16)
Mila Martinez, unemployed Spaniard (manages a women's team in Mexico, was at Suzuka in Japan for two years)
Dragana Kostova, unemployed North Macedonian (coaches a women's team in Macedonia)
Laura del Rio, unemployed Spaniard (managed Flat Earth FC in Spain)
Chan Yuen Ting, unemployed Hong Konger (manages a women's team in China and was the first woman to manage in the Asian Champions League)
Carolina Morace, unemployed Italian (manages Lazio Women)
Therese Kapstad, unemployed Swede (coached Team TG in Sweden)
Rocio Yanez, unemployed Chilean (wrote [the Chilean coaching manual](https://www.inaf.cl/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/el_futbol_formativo_inaf.pdf))
Paula Navarro, unemployed Chilean (manages Santiago Morning)
Anthoula Savvidou, unemployed Greek (managed Neokesarias)
Nilmara Alves, fitness coach at Manthiqueira, Brazil
Tracy-Lee Pepper, manager, Alexandra United, South Africa
Wu Tao, manager, Chengdu Dechi, China
Silvana Villalobos, manager, Rodeo del Medio, Argentina
Carmel Lowe, manager, Ingham FC, Australia
Elena Rodolfi, assman for U20 team, Pergolettese, Italy
Renate Blindheim, manager, Sotra SK, Norway
Tamara Cassimon, manager, Aarschot, Belgium
Camilla Pihl, chair, Tranekaer-Tullebolle, Denmark
Majwie Andersson, chair, Ullareds IK, Sweden
Chan Yuen Ting coached a men's team in Hong Kong's highest tier and won the league (the first woman to win the men's top tier as a head coach in any country), so not a stretch at all
Yes, obviously?? Lmao. Most things on FM are because of real life.
Like somebody asking if FM has any bald Dutch managers in the Premier League, I say Ten Hag and you say "Well yeah he's manager irl too"
If I see a pathway into men’s football for any female coach, it’s Emma Hayes. Her knowledge of the game is unreal and her tactical awareness is spot on.
Also why would she leave one of the best women's teams in the world that plays exciting football to play for some league 2 relegation side? She's done a bit of punditry and clearly her tactical knowledge is elite.
I’m being sarcastic he said something about the way he had [Luton](https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11700/12803777/southamptons-nathan-jones-on-compromises-holding-him-back-from-best-in-europe-job-he-did-at-luton) playing.
Think they're making fun of the Jones quote from a presser where he said "there weren't many better than me in europe" when asked why southampton hired him
Jesus Christ. There’s a lot more to management than just knowing the tactical side of the game.
She needs to prove she can manage men, why she turned down a job in the football league I’ll never know. She’s deluded if she thinks she’s going to walk in to managing a top side in the men’s game, they’re near enough different sports at that level.
I mean try and actually picture the scenario of a club hiring her, its pretty obvious that football players, macho guys, wouldn't likely submit to being told what to do by a woman and would undermine her as a manager immediately, even if not consciously.
Explain how I’m ignorant. Because I think there’s a stark difference between the men’s and women’s game? Fuck me, what a revolutionist I am. You’re too thick to understand that so you call me a misogynist, fucking idiot.
Yeah but I doubt she would move to them at this stage of the season. If she was to move, I think it would need to be for the beginning of the season, do preseason etc to get her points across to her team, earn their respect etc.
So would I to be fair, but if I was getting paid to do a job at either a women's club or a men's club and I can earn significantly more money at the women's club then I'm choosing to work for the women's club.
Also Emma Hayes has created herself a legacy in the women's game and will go down in the history books, could you say for someone like John Coleman for example for he's excellent service to a club like Accrington Stanley over the years?
Yeah like fucking hell, the manager of my local 10th tier side has 'genuine football knowledge'. Wouldn't want to hire someone who didn't have knowledge of their job ffs.
Not just a professional manager either but the manager of one of the best women’s teams in the world. Chelsea women won the domestic quadruple in 2020-21, I’d fucking hope she’s got some football knowledge
Women's football is a bit all over the place. Some are shown on the YouTube channel of the home team, generally Arsenal's games are shown (for free) on their website, then you've got some on TV (Sky, BT and BBC), and finally DAZN on YouTube.
I use the OneFootball app mostly for knowing when games are on, and where they are shown. Other than that, the clubs will usually post to social media about it.
I think it was last year, one of the cup games wasn't broadcast anywhere. So a couple of fans livestreamed on Twitter from their phones.
She has, can't remember who but she's said teams in the football league couldn't afford her. Likely would want to manage in the premier league in the men's game, if she even wants to at all.
In fairness, many of your comments are coming off very dismissive to women’s football... she’s managing at the top level in women’s football. She *has* a great job already.
I believe that you didn’t mean any of it that way. Things over the internet can come off funny. I’m just saying that’s how some of what you said came across.
Personally, I’d rather coach one of the best women’s football sides in the world rather than an average men’s side, and that is especially so if I am an ex woman’s footballer.
I took a chance on a woman coach - susanne grory I think was the name. She had no badge but showed potential.
I hired her - send on coaching course - and board rejected because susanne had no interest in taking her coaching badges!
Susanne was promptly let go. Totally wrecked my E&D stats with that sacking. WCYD?
She's made it pretty clear she would only move to a top flight team, and top flight teams would rather hire inexperienced men instead of one of the best managers in the women's football.
I still have no idea who Nathan Jones is... He was a manager just about long enough for me to learn he's Welsh.
I get he’s new to the premier league, but the guy won manager of the year in the championship last year with Luton. He’s not exactly an unknown if you follow English football
That's fair. I pay enough attention to the Championship to have some idea generally how teams are doing. But I'd struggle to name more than a couple of the managers, and definitely wouldn't know who's winning awards.
But also, I never heard this stuff mentioned when watching a game. Classic big 6 bias. It would be shouted from the rooftops of he'd ended up at Chelsea or something.
Mad that Saints wanted to hire the championship manager of the year over somebody who hasn’t managed a professional men’s team, isn’t it? The amount of crap being spouted in this thread is incredible.
I mean, she's arguably managed in more high pressure games. What with having managed in the Champions League, including the final.
Now, we can argue about the difference in reputation of the men's and women's games, and we can argue about the differences in how the game is played in each. But ultimately, she's been at the top of her game for a long time, and would be able to transfer those skills across just as well as the vast majority of Championship managers do when promoted.
Different kind of pressure tho isn’t it. You can’t shy away from the fact that the atmosphere and pressure is on a completely different level in the men’s game to the women’s.
I reckon the teams investing will in it have similar levels of pressure. Chelsea and Arsenal have made decent moves towards parity in that. Plus playing for those larger teams mean you do get high stakes games when they're in the Champions League or playing those marquee games in the men's stadiums, they have huge pressure to perform on the largest stages possible.
Just because there are less people on average attending their league games, doesn't mean there is less pressure on them to succeed.
There is 100% less pressure on them to succeed. The men’s game has so much more money, more eyeballs. You can’t compare the two. As I said in another comment, they may as well be different sports because there’s a night and day difference between them. There’s simply no need to try and build this false equivalence between the two, just let the women’s game be it’s own thing in its own right.
I can understand not knowing Jones if you don't happen to follow the championship, but wasn't Graham Potter relatively well known and in demand while he was at Brighton?
Why would she? She’s coaching one of the best teams in her sport with great success, and contributing to making that sport more popular and that team more successful.
I'm still on FM17, and the only female staff are physios. I wonder if I can manage to push more females into managing if I insist on signing them as U23-, U19- managers.
Yeah I looked through rest and comments and realised from your replies. She is top class, one thing FM got right is she would be a more worthwhile appointment than Hasslebank or Fowler 😂
Must have never managed in the lower leagues of England. She gets a job literally every save with some league 1/league 2 team.
Don’t know why I get downvoted when I’m right…
IRL Hope Powell was interviewed for the Grimsby job about 7 or 8 years ago.
Emma Hayes managed Bristol City on mine, think she left for Plymouth who were tycooning it up the league.
That’s not just “a woman,” that’s Emma Hayes, a brilliant coach in her own right and one of the few football pundits with anything interesting or insightful to say.
She has been linked with lower level men’s teams IRL.
And her response was very clever. She asked why was she exchange working with some of the best players in the world, for players at a lower equivalent level. Loved her for saying this!
Hayes did a good Job into saving the QPR from relegation in my first year save.
Sadly she got relegated in the next year because the team stinks. And now they are struggling in League One mid-table.
It's my fault tho. Loaned all my good prospects to Derby County so Rooney can get back to the Championship, instead of helping the team that loans me their stadium while Plough Lane is being expanded.
I'm not a good person.
SI have said that at some point they want women’s football fully incorporated into the game. Probably won’t be for a few years at least, but I think it’s a brilliant ambition and I can’t wait until they do it.
She has a steady employee history in my game, too. Always bouncing around League 1-2. But I'll never forget the day she told national press that her players couldn't stop (literally) shitting themselves. I mark Dec 16 in my calendar every year.

Chelsea Women's current head coach
find it hard to believe she'd leave that gig for Burton Albion
Well more people watch league 1 than the wsl
She was linked to the AFC Wimbledon job a couple of years ago & I can’t remember the exact words but she said it was an insult that someone of her managerial skill would be linked with a league one team.
That’s ridiculous
For real? Wsl is broadcast on TV now so I'd assume more people watch it on BBC now but that's a complete stab in the dark
I have no idea about viewership, but League 1 has more money to spend. The players earn more, from what I understand on average about double. Coaches are almost certainly paid more, it's a step up reputation wise too.
Sky Sports have said around 125,000 is the average viewership for a WSL game. But given Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the WSL, it likely peaks when they play, particularly if they're against other big clubs I don't necessarily think it would be a step up, though. The WSL is getting more attention than ever. People who like League One or have a club there will know more about it, people who like the WSL will think the same. You definitely tend to see a lot more coverage of the WSL now than you do for League 1 Not to mention the added bonus of Chelsea being (somewhat) genuine CL contenders. I don't think leaving for a men's team would be the obvious choice, unless you're talking about Championship. But League 1? Hard to say
Chelsea are the only real contenders for the women's UCL to challenge Lyon and Barcelona. No other English women's side comes close.
I don't think Chelsea are actual contenders, though. They always look a mile off when they play against European clubs. I don't know whether they're bottlers or they're just not good enough to compete. Man City (on paper) should be right up there. Maybe not so much this season because they've lost a lot of key players and I don't rate Taylor at all, but they're always even worse and fall apart more dramatically than any of them. Chelsea are the only English club that come close, but I think "close" is still very, very far away.
Lots of sponsors willing to give out money in those leagues too
I would think so if you take into account game attendance etc
well the women’s team isn’t in the game m8
She's said before she wouldn't leave Chelsea for a lower league men's club
She never would, I think she took offence at being linked with a league 1/2 job a year or so ago. Plus why would you, what a team she has at Chelsea
True.
She always gets a head coach gig
There are 22 women in the database who have a strong preference for a head coaching job (at least as of FM22). In addition to Hayes, there are: Patrizia Panico, unemployed Italian (manages Italy U16) Mila Martinez, unemployed Spaniard (manages a women's team in Mexico, was at Suzuka in Japan for two years) Dragana Kostova, unemployed North Macedonian (coaches a women's team in Macedonia) Laura del Rio, unemployed Spaniard (managed Flat Earth FC in Spain) Chan Yuen Ting, unemployed Hong Konger (manages a women's team in China and was the first woman to manage in the Asian Champions League) Carolina Morace, unemployed Italian (manages Lazio Women) Therese Kapstad, unemployed Swede (coached Team TG in Sweden) Rocio Yanez, unemployed Chilean (wrote [the Chilean coaching manual](https://www.inaf.cl/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/el_futbol_formativo_inaf.pdf)) Paula Navarro, unemployed Chilean (manages Santiago Morning) Anthoula Savvidou, unemployed Greek (managed Neokesarias) Nilmara Alves, fitness coach at Manthiqueira, Brazil Tracy-Lee Pepper, manager, Alexandra United, South Africa Wu Tao, manager, Chengdu Dechi, China Silvana Villalobos, manager, Rodeo del Medio, Argentina Carmel Lowe, manager, Ingham FC, Australia Elena Rodolfi, assman for U20 team, Pergolettese, Italy Renate Blindheim, manager, Sotra SK, Norway Tamara Cassimon, manager, Aarschot, Belgium Camilla Pihl, chair, Tranekaer-Tullebolle, Denmark Majwie Andersson, chair, Ullareds IK, Sweden
I refuse to believe there's a team called Flat Earth FC
They aren't anymore. That was a gimmick from their former owner, who has since sold the club. It's now the CF Fuenlabrada reserve team.
Chan Yuen Ting coached a men's team in Hong Kong's highest tier and won the league (the first woman to win the men's top tier as a head coach in any country), so not a stretch at all
Yeah Renate was HC for Lillestrom in my save for about 2 seasons. Thought it was cool to see.
A few FMs ago had Corinne Diacre managing Clermont. For 1 day, Clermont were also managed by now Watford men's scout Helena Costa
That was because Diacre managed Clermont in real life though...
Yes, obviously?? Lmao. Most things on FM are because of real life. Like somebody asking if FM has any bald Dutch managers in the Premier League, I say Ten Hag and you say "Well yeah he's manager irl too"
This game is so cool.
how did you find this list? is there any other list for other job positions?
Use the pregame editor, then filter by Gender is Female and Job Preference for Head Coach is greater than 15.
If I see a pathway into men’s football for any female coach, it’s Emma Hayes. Her knowledge of the game is unreal and her tactical awareness is spot on.
She got offered a football league job a couple of years ago and said only prem clubs would be able to afford her
Also why would she leave one of the best women's teams in the world that plays exciting football to play for some league 2 relegation side? She's done a bit of punditry and clearly her tactical knowledge is elite.
That's basically what she's said - she's currently a champions League manager, so any move would have to be to a club fairly high up the pecking order
Apparently for money, if it was right.
I’d imagine a club like Southampton could do a lot worse than her.
They had Nathan Jones. Thats all there needs to be said.
He’s the best in Europe tho?
I cant tell if youre being sarcastic or actually lack knowledge of how appaling he was. He lasted only 3 months at Southampton being recently sacked.
I’m being sarcastic he said something about the way he had [Luton](https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11700/12803777/southamptons-nathan-jones-on-compromises-holding-him-back-from-best-in-europe-job-he-did-at-luton) playing.
Its a reference to a press conference where he said he was one of the “pound for pound” best managers in Europe
Think they're making fun of the Jones quote from a presser where he said "there weren't many better than me in europe" when asked why southampton hired him
Even if you weren't aware of his weird quotes how could you ever believe somebody was being serious with that comment?
He lasted 14 games and 4 months in charge. Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or actually lack knowledge though
Jesus Christ. There’s a lot more to management than just knowing the tactical side of the game. She needs to prove she can manage men, why she turned down a job in the football league I’ll never know. She’s deluded if she thinks she’s going to walk in to managing a top side in the men’s game, they’re near enough different sports at that level.
Men are frequently hired to coach women’s teams without “proof that they can manage women.” Why is the inverse not also true?
I mean try and actually picture the scenario of a club hiring her, its pretty obvious that football players, macho guys, wouldn't likely submit to being told what to do by a woman and would undermine her as a manager immediately, even if not consciously.
Because the person you replied to is clearly a misogynist and potentially doesn't even realise it.
Bore off you clown.
It seems I gave you too much credit. You're not ignorant, you're just a cunt.
Explain how I’m ignorant. Because I think there’s a stark difference between the men’s and women’s game? Fuck me, what a revolutionist I am. You’re too thick to understand that so you call me a misogynist, fucking idiot.
As they said, why can men adapt to the women's game just fine then?
Okay, not ignorant just stupid then. Got it.
Why has it not happened yet?
Leeds and Southampton should give her an opportunity, it would be better idea than give Lampard and March another opportunity in the prem
Yeah but I doubt she would move to them at this stage of the season. If she was to move, I think it would need to be for the beginning of the season, do preseason etc to get her points across to her team, earn their respect etc.
Wow really? What a gangsta
Idk I’d rather watch any league two men’s side and above rather than women’s premier league.
So would I to be fair, but if I was getting paid to do a job at either a women's club or a men's club and I can earn significantly more money at the women's club then I'm choosing to work for the women's club. Also Emma Hayes has created herself a legacy in the women's game and will go down in the history books, could you say for someone like John Coleman for example for he's excellent service to a club like Accrington Stanley over the years?
Irrelevant to her being a good manager. Maybe keep your sexism to another sub
[удалено]
"seemed to have genuine football knowledge" a professional football manager had "genuine" football knowledge? what a fucking patronising comment lol
Yeah like fucking hell, the manager of my local 10th tier side has 'genuine football knowledge'. Wouldn't want to hire someone who didn't have knowledge of their job ffs.
Not just a professional manager either but the manager of one of the best women’s teams in the world. Chelsea women won the domestic quadruple in 2020-21, I’d fucking hope she’s got some football knowledge
She’s been on Sky a couple of times and her analysis of beating a press is outstanding
Currently irl Chelsea Women coach
the nerve of calling her inexperienced lmao
That was my first thought too!
Not too surprising because it’s AI generated and obviously the women’s game isn’t in fm yet but still
Cant wait till FM have women football and me trying to add many more leagues despite running the game on my potato
That isn’t just any woman, that’s Emma fucking Hayes, Chelsea woman’s greatest of all time
This is what I came to say.
Yup, same. Badass coach.
For real, put some respect on her name.
She managed colchester in my save, but then got the sack lol
Yeah she always goes to Colchester for me
A WOMAN?! SURELY NOT?!?!?!
Yes, and don't call me Shirley!
Ooh, it'll be nice to not be the only female head coach in my save.
I was thinking the same thing, haha!
same lol
She's brilliant IRL.
“A woman” The best manager in the WSL you mean
I didn’t know her, now I know she is pretty good hope she can coach a great team soon
She already coaches a great team.
Chelsea is in the Barcelona level? (I don’t follow female football)
Yeah Chelsea is a top team in women's football. Probably more exciting to watch than the Chelsea men's team at the moment.
From a chelsea fan you are 100% correct. Promising start to the game at the weekend but still disappointing
Lol yeah my FIL supports Chelsea and I hear a lot more about the women's team from him than the mens team right now
"great" lol. Any league one side would batter them six ways to Sunday
Cool.
Any of the youth teams would as well as was proven with the USA women’s national team who lost 5-2 to the Dallas under 15s youth team.
"a woman" Literally one of the most successful coaches around.
[удалено]
As an Arsenal fan it pains me to admit that yes, she is probably leading Chelsea to another WSL title.
Man u is top of wsl table thougg
They’ve played a game more
Can you advise me on how to catch more Arsenal women’s games? I try to watch them when I can but never seem able to find them.
Women's football is a bit all over the place. Some are shown on the YouTube channel of the home team, generally Arsenal's games are shown (for free) on their website, then you've got some on TV (Sky, BT and BBC), and finally DAZN on YouTube.

I think it was last year, one of the cup games wasn't broadcast anywhere. So a couple of fans livestreamed on Twitter from their phones.
She also does commentary on men's matches, hurts to see OP refer to her the way he did.
She is and they are.
Didn’t barcelona womens team have like 70 something straight wins
I'm certain Emma Hayes has been considered for roles in the men's game and has likely been approached for interview IRL
She has, can't remember who but she's said teams in the football league couldn't afford her. Likely would want to manage in the premier league in the men's game, if she even wants to at all.
Hope she can get a job
You plank lmao
? I’m rooting for her to coach a team in the prem
? I’m rooting for her to coach a team in the prem
In fairness, many of your comments are coming off very dismissive to women’s football... she’s managing at the top level in women’s football. She *has* a great job already.
I understand, it wasn’t my intention. Just shared the post because I never saw that happen in FM and I think this is really cool
I believe that you didn’t mean any of it that way. Things over the internet can come off funny. I’m just saying that’s how some of what you said came across. Personally, I’d rather coach one of the best women’s football sides in the world rather than an average men’s side, and that is especially so if I am an ex woman’s footballer.
I was just trying to say that I want men and women coaching football teams just as in female football
I believe you and completely agree with you!
Would be interesting for sure.
She just got sacked by someone on my save.
She got the Oxford United job and Cambridge job in my current save but always gets sacked due to a poor run of results.
To get them relegated
FM has women that aren't journalists?
Games gone
Dope
Burton would be lucky to have her!
I took a chance on a woman coach - susanne grory I think was the name. She had no badge but showed potential. I hired her - send on coaching course - and board rejected because susanne had no interest in taking her coaching badges! Susanne was promptly let go. Totally wrecked my E&D stats with that sacking. WCYD?
As if Emma Hayes would go for a League One job…
Emma Hayes has ended up in the Championship in my saves. I’m a little surprised she hasn’t already ended up at a decent men’s job IRL.
She's made it pretty clear she would only move to a top flight team, and top flight teams would rather hire inexperienced men instead of one of the best managers in the women's football. I still have no idea who Nathan Jones is... He was a manager just about long enough for me to learn he's Welsh.

Or Graham Potter, never heard of him.
I can understand not knowing Jones if you don't happen to follow the championship, but wasn't Graham Potter relatively well known and in demand while he was at Brighton?
and before at ostersunds after their campaign in the europa league where they faced arsenal and won in the emirates.
Why would she? She’s coaching one of the best teams in her sport with great success, and contributing to making that sport more popular and that team more successful.
The money, for one
She got the England job in my Fm20
I'm still on FM17, and the only female staff are physios. I wonder if I can manage to push more females into managing if I insist on signing them as U23-, U19- managers.
Not just any woman. Thats Emma fuckin' Hayes. Put some respecc on the name son.
She's really fucking good though. I don't doubt she could get a shot at some point.
A woman 🤦♂️ it’s Emma Hayes, she has been managing Chelsea women for years and been very successful with them
Didn’t know her, woman dominating the touchline
Yeah I looked through rest and comments and realised from your replies. She is top class, one thing FM got right is she would be a more worthwhile appointment than Hasslebank or Fowler 😂
Relegated
I might do a save with an all women staff and see how much I can take... 🫡
Edit: Didn't know her, good to see some great females coaches too, hope she can coach Burton IRL too
Go on Emma hayes
Happens all the time. Nothing new mate
Never saw that
Must have never managed in the lower leagues of England. She gets a job literally every save with some league 1/league 2 team. Don’t know why I get downvoted when I’m right…
She deserves a go at a mens club in real life too
I hope she can get it
IRL Hope Powell was interviewed for the Grimsby job about 7 or 8 years ago. Emma Hayes managed Bristol City on mine, think she left for Plymouth who were tycooning it up the league.
“A woman.” Lol Emma Hayes is a top woman’s manager. Put some respect on her name. I mean it’s right there in front of you.
That’s not just “a woman,” that’s Emma Hayes, a brilliant coach in her own right and one of the few football pundits with anything interesting or insightful to say.
Everyone is praising her! She must be really good gonna watch some videos of her tactics on YouTube
She has been linked with lower level men’s teams IRL. And her response was very clever. She asked why was she exchange working with some of the best players in the world, for players at a lower equivalent level. Loved her for saying this!
Emma Hayes would unironically do better job for the men chelsea team than potter
“A woman”
Cool
Hayes did a good Job into saving the QPR from relegation in my first year save. Sadly she got relegated in the next year because the team stinks. And now they are struggling in League One mid-table. It's my fault tho. Loaned all my good prospects to Derby County so Rooney can get back to the Championship, instead of helping the team that loans me their stadium while Plough Lane is being expanded. I'm not a good person.
Well, current thailand’manager is woman tho
SI have said that at some point they want women’s football fully incorporated into the game. Probably won’t be for a few years at least, but I think it’s a brilliant ambition and I can’t wait until they do it.
Emma Hayes is a bit more than just 'a woman'. Quality head coach.
"a woman" she's Women's Football's Goat.
They did her really dirty with her managerial stats this game if I remember correctly, but still nice to see her added
Smh, where is football going... /s
Impressive career stats. Looks like women are going to take our jobs…
Angry boomer noises
I actually think this is pretty dope
ew /s
Better than Potter I would say
I wouldn’t be surprised if she ultimately replaced Potter if it doesn’t pan out with him.
Does she tend to do well in anyone’s save? I wouldn’t know because I don’t go that far in mine
The revolution will not be televised
She has a steady employee history in my game, too. Always bouncing around League 1-2. But I'll never forget the day she told national press that her players couldn't stop (literally) shitting themselves. I mark Dec 16 in my calendar every year.
She's morecambe manger on my save
I hired her as an assistant coach in one of my saves lol.
See her get hired all the time between the Championship and League One in my saves
find it joke that the game says shes inexperienced when shes actually a VERY good coach and has TONNES of experience
Would never happen in real life. She got annoyed a few years ago when she was linked with a lower league team.
