Manisha Taylor 18:00 - May 8 with 12939 views | Welsh_Ranger | I read she has now departed after 8 years and countless different roles within the youth set up. Best of luck Manisha! Is this a case of casting off the dead wood or her going off to bigger and better things? I've read that they are looking at revamping the youth set up, is she a casualty? Lets hope they are streamlining slightly and looking at that next generation! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Manisha Taylor on 18:51 - May 8 with 6763 views | BrianMcCarthy | Well, she rose through the ranks in eight years, ended up with the National FA, and now she's on the way to a top division club, so she's clearly talented. Whenever I've read her or watched her I always found her inspiring, empathetic and eloquent; the kind of coach I'd want to be coached by. I wish her well. As for Rangers, I view this the same as I view a player leaving. Do we have the knowledge to recruit someone better? | ![](/images/avatars/1570.gif) |

The establishment loves the EDI stuff, and she's an EDI Unicorn, so lucky her. I doubt the quality of her coaching is remarkably better than any other ex-primary school teacher turned football coach, maybe I'm wrong and our first team will be full of current under-9s in a decade, but I doubt it. If anything her position suggests she's moved away from coaching and more into the management of coaching, whatever that is worth. Strange old country we live in. | ![](/images/avatars/1736.gif) |

Maybe she is, loads of youth football coaches are good, some great...They don't often get MBEs for it though, and certainly don't find themselves being given vague roles around "player development" at premier league clubs.... | ![](/images/avatars/1736.gif) |

She is a great coach with a UEFA A licence, the highest practical coaching award available. Her MBE was for her work raising awareness of football and diversity. The role she has taken at Spurs is International Development Coach. Spurs have a global player development programme with some 45k players and coaches involved with their pathways. They have a global reach; this is why they attract players from all over the world to their teams. As we want the U8s upwards at QPR to develop a consistent way of playing, Spurs have that through player development programmes, player ID festivals and academies. It's a bit more than a vague role.

I only came on for a casual up-vote but see it's culture wars time again on here on Friday afternoon. But yes, Shef, you're right, the establishment does love a bit of EDI - for better or worse. A lot of people will think for the better but let's leave that part alone: my problem is you're admitting you don't know if she's any good, and that you won't be in a position to tell for another decade. So why jump on her? Both things can be true: the EDI stuff, and the possibility that she deserves the job regardless of any other factors. Tearing her down without knowing just feels knee jerk to me. | ![](/images/avatars/2096.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
