Just when you thought that this league couldn’t be any more of a circus…

Club places academy director in interim charge whilst searching for a first team manager so someone with knowledge of the club can keep things ticking over during an important part of the season
How is that a circus?

I guess it’s no surprise FGR were the first ones to take the plunge

….because it’s a clown academy rather than a football academy

I guess it's not an appointment deliberately designed to create a circus, as you say take gender out and it's a completely normal thing for a football club to do. But obviously it's going to attract an absolute ton of media attention whether they want it or not.

Loving the “woker than thou” pearl clutching here.
Why is it a circus?
“Media circus” (noun - Informal): A period of frenetic media coverage of an event or person. "the case rapidly became a media circus"
If you can’t see that the first female managerial appointment is going to have this effect then frankly I give up.
So desperate to play the woke “why should it?!” “#HerGameToo” card you can’t even see the obvious point I’m making.

Of the current staff FGR have though, she is the most senior and qualified. They have no members of staff in the senior team as they've all left so have gone for the person in charge of the Academy. If they had skipped past her to then select a more junior Male to be the caretaker, then that's a whole other issue in itself. The situation in isolation is nothing to do with the 'woke' term you love to throw about, it's simply choosing the most senior person to be the caretaker manager for the brief time before they appoint someone from Brentford B inevitably.

I’m not disputing any of that (other than the claim that I “love” throwing any terms around.)
Question: has this gained more or less national media attention than the average appointment of an interim manager in L2?

Smacks of Vince grabbing more media coverage. Got to be sorry for her being used. If their Academy Manager had been a man I’m certain a senior player would have been put in interim charge.

For their previous 2 caretaker managers, The Academy Manager was used (Jimmy Ball and Scott Bartlett), so they've followed the same process for the third time in a row.

Have they got many players there with a UEFA pro licence who have been within the club hierarchy for 4+ years For their previous 2 caretaker managers, The Academy Manager was used (Jimmy Ball and Scott Bartlett), so they've followed the same process for the third time in a row.
Ah but they both had a cock, entirely different!

Of course it’s different. Both of those had experience of men’s senior football. Not that I know, but I expect coaching kids is vastly different to coaching professional footballers - especially when you have zero experience of it.
