Highly impressive appointment.
Put it this way, as employing former England managers go, it's a bit more impressive than Allardyce to Palace.

Let's hope it is not as disappointing as Taylor was in the end.

Ok for those of us who couldn't give a monkeys about womens football, why is everyone impressed with this?

Sort of.
There was a previous time when there were black managers in charge of their club's men's team and of the women's team.
That club was Brighton & Hove Albion - and the managers were Chris Hughton and George Parris.

I could tell you, but you don't give a monkey's, so there's no point.

Who?
There's a chap called George Parris. He was the interim manager, albeit he was in the role for over a year. He returns to his previous job as Regional Talent Club technical director (odd title).

Hope achieved a great deal for women's football - but the England dressing room was in dire straits under her leadership - just sayin

Yep, sports bras, Lil-Lets packaging and hair straighteners left all over the floor! KIDDING! You do actually make a very valid point, but we shall see (fingers crossed).

Anyone know another club who has two black managers ?
I can't think of one off hand

Not sure I understand the point of the Albion's women's team. I cannot see how it earns any money for the club. How many fans go to their matches? Or, more likely, is it just one of the things the club HAS to do for various reasons that are hard to explain.

It loses a lot less money than the men's team does.
But the reality is, there is no reason for there not to be a women's team. We have men's, junior, various abilities team (incl, amputee, blind, walking, autistic, powerchair), so why not women's? None of them turn a profit.
The club doesn't HAVE to do it, apart from it's the right thing to do.

England Women's Team have got a lot better since she left.
What has the former England Manager been doing since she was replaced...not in demand clearly.
