Twas time for her to go. A very good run that really built up the English team and made them almost great. But that last championship was an utter disaster and the team has completely stagnated and is over-reliant on oldies. Fuck knows who they'll get to replace her.

As an aside, an interesting article on the history of women's football in todays paper, I never realised the extent to which the FA had deliberately destroyed the women's game- http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/aug/19/kicked-touch-relegation-womens-football

I wonder what odds I can get on her trying her hands on the real version of the sport?

One might suggest that their recent "reforms" of the womens game is another attempt at that.

What do you think her next role's going to be? There be some dull debate about women managers on football focus.
