[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 681861, member: 55446"] As a manager, discipline was linked to her job. My guess is that guys like Beale don't like being told what to do by a woman. He had such little respect that he wrote sexist comments towards her colleagues, undermining her. How is that her problem, that he doesn't respect her? If I did the same to a female colleague at work, I, along with any other troublemaker, would be thrown out, and the woman would be given support to establish the respect of her team.

Clubs/nations seem to like their qualities as players, and appoint them on that basis i.e. based not on experience and credentials, but on personality. I have never seen [B]any [/B]of these appointments come in with anywhere near the same kind of scrutiny as Di Patston received in a much lower supporting role. Even when Martin Johnson took on the top job at England with no credentials whatsoever, whilst this was brought up, there wasn't a massive deal made out of it. He certainly wasn't hounded out of the job. [/QUOTE]
