Any woman that takes such a job is on a hiding to nothing. Country is still chock full of knucklescrapers, and their red top bibles would have a field day tearing her down.
I'm not sure what that has to do with it ? Two sports called football, they're not competing with each other, and never will.they can live in denial all they want. A League 1 team would piss a match against a WSL team.

I don't blame her for turning it down, AFC Wimbledon are in danger of relegation, she's likely going to win the WSL, I'd have turned it down, regardless of the money offered, and I imagine chelsea pay her more anyway.
I find it more surprising that a League 1 club offered a job to someone that had no interest in it and hadn't applied for itPerson gets offered a job said person turns down that job. In football that's news !
I haven't seen what she said, but people comparing men's and women's football completely miss the point, they might be the same sport in name, but they will never be the same sport. One or two women could possibly play at men's level, but very very few, a woman could probably coach a men's team, but they'd never be full accepted.she shouldn't pretend it's an insult or for sporting reasons then.

I enjoy the women's game for what it is, and we are lucky enough to have one of the top women's clubs.
Why would a WSL team even play a League 1 men's team in the first place?they can live in denial all they want. A League 1 team would piss a match against a WSL team.

have to wonder why they offered it to a woman instead of one of the hundreds of privileged male managers thenthey wouldn't, because they know they'd get thrashed. So a privilege, not an insult, to be offered the job at the higher level.
Easy. They are skint and no money is coming in. I bet they assumed all the publicity would be worth a fortune including “behind the scenes” documentaries etchave to wonder why they offered it to a woman instead of one of the hundreds of privileged male managers then
