Rumours today that she’s been lined up to manage my local team, Wrexham. The men’s team...
Surely not, right?
Just looked that up right now. Seems a long shot - Emma Hayes from Chelsea was linked with Wimbledon (she denied it) earlier in the season so maybe things like this are being leaked to get more press?
That said, if it's true, the location would mean her family could stay in their current home/schools. They've also had that takeover from Ryan Reynolds etc so it might makes sense that way. Casey has coached mens youth players before when she was a player, she's not been stuck in a WSL bubble that way.
The only reason I've ever doubted the NWSL stories is because she never went to America to play in the WPS like the other players did, Smith etc and she could have. There's very limited womens football jobs if her family does want to stay home and doesn't want to go to a National Team.
One thing to note was that Emma Hayes said the Wimbledon job didn't appeal as her setup was better than that was, if Wrexham who're leagues below are a better prospect that Man Utd Women it's a bit of an inditement of the current setup really.
