Next Man Utd manager? Why not? It's about time ladies got a fair crack of the whip.

It would probably be problematic to find the data but I wonder if there is a 'compensation premium' to take a job at a big club sh*t show like mu or Chelsea (unless you've groomed a spare in the reserves). Or maybe it's just a big enough ego required (I can do this!) - although Amorim is the counter argument. Anyway, why would Wiegman, or any other sane human want that job other than for bucket loads of money?

I think at some point a league club mens team will take a chance on Wiegman but there's no chance on this earth it'll be a Premier League team, never mind feckin Man United

Well, I'd say in that instance Mrs Wiegman would want the job for more reasons than money. The ultimate water-shed moment that would be is just too significant. That said, it's not going to happen. Especially not at a Premier League club with a billionaire with a massive ego at the helm.

Fwiw I think she or another top female coach - Hayes is the obvious example - could do just as good a job as the top blokes, with all the support staff, provided players, fans, owners could handle it.

The fans could absolutely not handle it. Owners and players potentially but fans of almost any club would riot at the first defeat

You don't need to convince me. I am also of the opinion that thinking about football, tactics, group dynamics and all that is anything that a woman could not do the same way men do. But unfortunately, I feel football is still not ready for it. Just look around THIS very forum, and you'll realize how backwards a lot of football fans still are.

A female will manage a league side one day. I'd embrace Wiegman manging Blues. I really would.

I think if Hayes couldn’t even get a crack at the Chelsea men’s job when they were at their most shambolic and she’d got the women dominating their league, I don’t think we’re anywhere close to a female Prem manager.

Maybe a lower EFL team would take a gamble but the best women’s coaches won’t step down to (for example) a Burton or Tranmere

I'm not sure about that last paragraph. There's a lot to be said for that landmark moment when it happens

You should probably keep your hands to yourself.

Any qualified manager could “do a job” at Manu.

Weigman would be a disaster for them, even Roy Keane would be better.

Being a competent coach is irrelevant to the Manu job.

Yeah just needs Pep Guardiolan to identify as a woman for a few weeks and job done.
