The first female manager? Wasn't there a TV series the Manageress? Never saw it but heard about it. Not highly rated though being typical soap rather than drama. Seem to remember there have been one or two not to bad dramas involving female managers.
However the reality may not be that far away, or even already is depending on what level of the football pyramid you're talking about. Hannah Dingley, who holds a UEFA A Licence, is coach at Gresley FC in the Northern Premier League. She was interviewed on Today this morning as Northwich Victoria's manager, Lee Ashcroft, has been fined £12,00 and banned for 10 matches for extreme verbal abuse to her. Initially he denied the charge and asked for a personal hearing but two days before the it was due to take place cancelled his request. (Ashcroft has something of a record for abuse - in 2010 while manager at Kendal Town he was banned from all footballing activities for three months for foul and indecent language to match officials.) guy On 1 Jun 2013 at 12:43, Sutton / Smail wrote: > Managers have this unique attribute by where they perform badly and then are > welcomed with open arms by another club. > In the normal world of work, bad performers receive a bad reputation and > can't find employment - not in football management. > This may be because that there isn't that many of them available or because > of a badly performing squad, which is not the managers > fault of course - is it??
