Manchester City’s long-serving administrator Bernard Halford involved the FA council in their own sexist comment moment in the wake of the Richard Scudamore controversy.
City life president Halford, the club secretary for four decades, was speaking about the decline of schools football at the council summit this week in response to FA chairman Greg Dyke’s England Commission presentation.
Halford caused a stir in the room by effectively blaming the increase in women teachers for the chronic problems facing schools football.


Halford, who represents the Manchester county FA on the council, said words to the effect that women teachers had greatly improved the education in schools but not necessarily in terms of football.
His ill-timed remark - albeit supported by some dinosaur council members - comes in the week Helena Costa became the first female professional football coach in a major league after taking charge of French second-tier side Clermont Foot.

Well, he's wrong, but how is it sexist? And who really gives a toss. Cue faux outrage.
 
So he basically said women have improved the education system overall but probably aren't as good at teaching football. Well I never, the hacks certainly smell blood this week don't they
 
They will print any old half non story wont they, why not say he blames male teachers for bad teaching?
