Chelsea boss Emma Hayes was tenuously linked to the AFC Wimbledon job following the sacking of Glyn Hodges.
The rumour re-sparked the comparisons between men s and women s football and got the world (certain sections of Twitter) questioning whether a woman could ever be trusted to take the reins of a male side.
Hayes responded by talking about the wider debate of coach diversity in football, stating that it should not be seen as a step down to be managing in the women s game and gushing about the calibre of player she has at her disposal. This was not a disrespectful dig at Wimbledon - she just loves her current position and no offer could persuade her to ditch her project at Chelsea.
