Fisher Athletic Make History

[ronin]

Fisher are to become the first senior club to have a female manager.

 

On Wednesday 18th February 2009 - History will be made as Donna Powell, the clubs turnstile operator, has been promoted to 1st Team Manager for the game against high-flying Eastleigh in a full Blue Square South league fixture. Powell, whose family have strong links with the club was set the task by Chairman Martin Eede of raising

Hmm, I know times are tough and money is always welcome, but I'm not sure about this. What's the betting they have a secret teamtalk before the one that Donna Powell will give!

Good luck to her, these days women know just as much about the game as the men! Will be interesting to see how the team does though......

I'm not against it because it's a woman, more than it sets a dangerous precedent of people buying their way into management and making the game a sham. How would you feel if Mark Chittock became our manager?!

Can you imagine if our turnstile dollies replaced John!

 

 

I can see Donna picking the team based on who looked best in tight shorts, Kara would be next to her bucket and sponge in hand praying for Leon to go down with a groin strain.

 

All the best looking players would be kept on the bench so she could watch them warming up!!

 

I do not even want to think about what would go on at half time!!!

[Guest MOB on the rock]

Mind you with a name like Powell she probably has a mono brow and a taste in rams!!!

[PittsieCIFC]

by all means good luck to her

 

but from that im guessing its just one game in charge? that could go really wrong as it says its against high flying eastleigh and has she ever done anything like tha before? i add, i could see it all going a tad wrong

but didnt we have a manager for years that was only there because he paid money into the club?

Don't think it really matters. Fisher are all but down anyway.
