Rabbatts blasts lack of women in sport
Number of football coaches ’alarmingly small‘
HEATHER RABBATTS yesterday slammed the Football Association due to the lack of female coaches and women sitting on club boards.
Rabbatts was appointed to the FA board in 2012 but is still the only woman, with the other 11 being men.
Hearts owner Ann Budge, West Ham vice-chair Karren Brady and Hibs chief executive Leeann Dempster are some of the more high-profile women that work at board level, while there are hardly any top women managers and coaches, Hope Powell being the exception.
