good signing or desperate attention seeking?

I thought several years ago when Hope Powell left the (I think) England job, that she would be a prime candidate for a lower tier men's team to have a pint on her. Didn't happen.

Seems like it could be a good appointment and good for them forgiving it a go. I think players will have to respect her and consider her an equal on the pitch, but many successful managers haven't had great playing careers and it doesn't impact them

Will be interesting to watch and good luck to her

Yes, best of luck to her, seems an odd time to sack your manager mind - Ferguson’s record was a poor one but it’s got no worse since May.

If she’s buying the beer she’ll get the lads on board in no time.

Re: forest green

Was surprised at this but thought fair play to the owner, he doesn't do much half heartedly.

Then realised it was a caretaker position during pre season.

I guess he agreed to a trial period on a salary of x and then wanted significantly more for it to become permanent?

If I won the euromillions I probably wouldn't invest in city - you need to be a billionaire not a millionaire these days - BUT if I did invest in city, I would immediately appoint Laura McAllister as our director of football or even CEO.

Re: forest green

Hopefully she'll be judged on results, like all the other managers.

Me too. She's someone who's played the game at every level. She has goodness knows how many education degrees, and yet can mix it on any social level.
She really did follow the City throughout the barren days - almost always on the halfway line of the Bob-Bank.

When it comes to knowledge of administration of the game then she's about as good as it gets

I am amazed she isn't a dof somewhere
