Emma Hayes

[JimBHibees]

Very odd behaviour all round from accusing the Arsenal coach of male aggression after she was aggressive in pushing him after a game a few weeks back. Now bringing up her son and saying she was wrong to face aggression with aggression ignoring what appeared to be only one sided aggression from her. Then goes all Mike Basset and recites a poem. Pretty poor all round from her imo.

Sounds like she knows shes in the wrong and wont say it. So talks jibberish to try make it all go away.

That's how I see it too. Pretty sad to see to be honest.

Exactly pretty poor and to be honest a pretty awful thing for her to say about a man in a womens sport. Will be interesting how that is perceived in the States given she is about to take probably the biggest job in Women’s football soon.

Agreed, very strange behaviour from her all round.

She's had a pretty easy time of it from the media too. Can you imagine the outcome if the push was the other way around?

Exactly, the guys career would be over

The guy would have been sacked that evening and calls for him to be prosecuted. Undoubtedly double standards at play.

Agree. All Mike Bassett but without the likeability. Petulant behaviour and if it had been the other way round Eidewall would be jobless by now.

A man would have been cancelled. Career over. Hayes will probably be a pundit at the Euros.

[Pretty Boy]

Why is it so hard for anyone just to admit they made a mistake/got it wrong these days?

It's like there has to be a standard period of denial before a humiliating climb down that could have been avoided with a prompt apology.

These things happen all the time in football. Remember Jim Duffy and Neil Lennon going at it hammer and tongs on the touchline a few years back or the Rangers coach headbutting the Celtic women's manager last season. 'The red mist came down. Things were said and happened that I didn't like but that's no excuse for reacting the way I did. I apologise to the club, players, fans and my opponent.'

Simple. Most people are pretty forgiving when someone takes responsibility for their actions. It's when you act like Hayes is acting now that patience wears thin and you end up in a far worse place.

Other way run and the guy would be sacked so she shouldn't be getting as easy a time of it as she's getting now .

Aye I remember when Malky MacKay never had a career after some of the worst things I've ever read at Cardiff. And that David Goodwillie never played for Clyde for about half a decade after being convicted.

Men in football are some of the most protected high profile individuals in society. Whatever Hayes has done that take is nonsense.

[Baader]

Think Hayes comes across as a particularly arrogant type who bought into her own press a while ago. Her comments on player relationships were misguided too.

Aggression is aggression and to bring gender into it as part of her defence when she was the aggressor is low. If a male coach cited 'female emotionals' or the like, the reaction would be very different and rightly so. She'd do better to just apologise instead of talking about her 'star.'

That's some take on Goodwillie who was rejected from every club bar Clyde (who took pelters for taking him on as I recall)

Not sure why you are trying to take this angle anyway. Unless there is more to it than I've seen, Hayes is guilty of pushing another manager. She should apologise and be done with it, but is continuing with a stupid narrative, trying to shift blame when it lies solely with her.

Not sure about the most protected part. A few posters on here had Mendy as 1000% guilty before his trial and he should have been locked up and the key through away. Turns out he was found innocent in a court of law by his peers, not once but twice as I'm sure atleast one of the cases was appealed. Absolutely appalling behaviour from some to label the guy a rapist before it could be proven.

Thank god we have a decent court system in this country and it's not ran by a kangaroo witch hunt mob.

Similar with Ched Evans. Absolutely destroyed across the media but when ultimately found to not be guilt not a peep is said.

That guy at the world cup would have just shook her hand.

The “ male aggression” came in an earlier incident in the game. Hayes push was a response to that.

What "male aggression" was that exactly?

Has this been caught on film as all that the arsenal guy said he did was remonstrate with Cuthbert when she tried to grab a spare ball at a thrown in. Would you class that as aggression?

He was shouting about them using another ball. If she thinks that's aggressive that's up to her but not sure why "male" has to enter her description of it. It was Hayes who initiated physical contact.

It would depend on what was said and the manner in which it was said. Hayes was there, we weren’t.

What was the earlier ‘male aggression’? Not seen any videos or pictures of said male aggression surface yet.

As others have said, she’s clearly in the wrong, just admit it and move on.

The poem is just weirdo behaviour.

So Hayes response to someone shouting at her, or one of her players, was to physically push him? Now imagine the roles were reversed...

[hibstag]

I remember her being a bit odd on itvs coverage of the last euros refusing to make comment on non England Stuff, claiming she was only there to talk about England although she was in the studio during a non England game.
I find her move to the USA a bit odd given what happened above.

[I'm Spartacus]

She tried to ruin the guys life and has been caught out, but because she's a bird nobody is willing to call her out.

Hate her.
