'Brave' club needed to lead way with female boss
Stanway Pegasus boss Webb, one of very few females in charge of a men's team in England, recently obtained a Uefa A license.
It entitles her to coach teams up to the second tier of English football, but she would need a Uefa Pro license for a job in the Premier League.
"There's certainly a lot of talented females out there that, first of all, hold the right qualifications but also have experience in the game," she told BBC Essex.
"I think sometimes clubs aren't brave enough to do it because if they were we'd have a female (in charge of a team) already.
"As soon as one club does it, it will probably start to become the norm a little bit but it will take that first club to take that step."
No club has ever appointed a female manager in the top five tiers of English football, although Hannah Dingley had a two-week spell as interim boss of Forest Green Rovers in 2023 where she was head of their academy.

Webb believes that a female should only be appointed on merit, not on the basis of attracting headlines.
"I'd like to think that there's a club out there that will give a female a job because they deserve the job," she added.
"It's got to be the right fit for the club. It's like any job - whoever gets it should be the right person for the job."
Webb obtained her A license 10 years on from earning her previous B qualification after studying over a period of eight months at the St George's Park national training centre in Burton-upon-Trent.
"It was a bit of a relief because the course is so intense, like you'd expect it to be being a Uefa qualification," Webb said. "It took about a year to complete.
"In between each block, you'd have two online calls and talk about things like tactics and strategy and you'd also have a minimum of six visits, so a coach developer would come out into your environment and watch your sessions."
She continued: "There's always going to be trends in the game and we've gone from playing long to playing out (from) the back - it will be a forever evolving game and we see things now where players don't just play one position, they look to rotate.
"It's also the other bits around it like analysis and injury prevention, which all inform the practices you're putting on - it's not just a case of turning up and putting sessions on, you have to take into account everything that comes along with it."
Stanway face Framlingham this weekend and are hoping to go one better than the last two seasons when they lost out in the Eastern Counties League Division One North play-offs.
Given her current level of qualification permits her to coach up to Championship level, Webb was asked whether she would fancy coaching a club like leaders Leeds United one day.
She replied: "Not sure about Leeds United but certainly that's probably the aim in around that kind of standard at some point, I guess."

UFC vet Ben Askren breaks silence in emotional first video after double lung transplant, says he 'died 4 times'
UFC veteran Ben Askren spoke publicly for the first time Wednesday since being hospitalized in early June with a life-threatening case of pneumonia, which ultimately led to him undergoing a successful double lung transplant. Askren's wife, Amy Askren, has periodically provided updates on her husband's condition and the process they've endured during his health scare since it was first revealed on June 6. After weeks of sedation and a period in "limbo," Amy's updates indicated that her husband was in need of a double lung transplant. Advertisement Following the successful surgery, a noticeably gaunt and emotional Askren posted a video to Instagram addressing everything that's occurred over the past several weeks. "What's up guys? Have not given you an update in a while. Figured you deserve one. Whenever this is all the way over — I actually just read through my wife's journal because I don't remember anything from May 28 to July 2. No recollection. Zero idea. No idea what happened. We'll kind of go through it all and I just read through my wife's journal. It's like a movie. It's ridiculous. So, I only died four times, where the ticker stopped for about 20 seconds. That's not ideal. I don't think you guys know that. But I got the double lung transplant. I made it out to the other side of it, gaining quite a bit of strength. We're going to use everything again. I was actually on the scale yesterday — 147 pounds. I haven't been 147 pounds since 15 years old. So, I lost 50 pounds in a 45-day period. So, man, that was a battle, although I don't remember most of it. And the thing that was most impactful to me was all the love I felt from everybody. And it was almost like I got to see my own funeral, right? I still remember it 30 years ago when Dave Schultz died and you listen to all these older people, you know, recollect how much they enjoyed him, how much they loved him. And obviously he never got to hear that. I'm sure some people told him [before he died]. So, man, the outpouring of love from the wrestling community was just amazing. It felt so good. And so, you know, I'm more motivated than ever to keep giving back and do what I can and help out the best I can help out. I love you guys. I appreciate you guys. This has been tough, not only on me, but my whole family and my close community. So, I appreciate everything. Hope you guys appreciate the update. And like I said, sometime down the road, maybe Amy and I can detail everything a little more." The 40-year-old Askren began his MMA career 19-0 and most notably held the welterweight titles in Bellator MMA and ONE Championship. In 2019, he was a part of the first and only "MMA trade," which saw him swap from ONE with Demetrious Johnson to join the UFC roster. Askren only fought three times for the promotion, all in 2019, before hip injuries ultimately led to his retirement. Since then, Askren has competed once in a pro boxing debut opposite Jake Paul in 2021, but has largely focused on his coaching career at his Askren Wrestling Academy in Wisconsin.

Unified champ Ellie Scotney hails Jake Paul as the Turki Alalshikh of women's boxing: 'Jake is changing the game'
LONDON — It's almost as if Ellie Scotney needs reminding of her status in world boxing. The 27-year-old sits casually on the ring apron inside Shane McGuigan's east London gym, rosy cheeked, looking bemused by the attention she is receiving. 'I thought you were here to join the gym,' she remarks, grinning ear to ear before suggesting she could offer me a leaflet. 'I'm not used to all of this!' Advertisement We exchange pleasantries before my eyes wander. 'Alright, aren't they?' she adds, catching me inspect her three super bantamweight world championships. The IBF, WBO and Ring Magazine titles at 122 pounds sparkle in the London sun, sitting proudly next to the Catford fighter as she wraps her hands, diligently, ahead of her latest pad session. We're speaking just weeks before a historic night in New York City, where Scotney (10-0, 0 KOs) will look to further unify the super bantamweight division. Her opponent, Mexico's Yamileth Mercado (24-3, 5 KOs), brings the green and gold of the WBC title to Madison Square Garden, joining a historically stacked card headlined by a highly-anticipated trilogy meeting between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. 'It's crazy when you think about it,' she explains. 'Little old me, going from SE6 (her home postcode in Catford, southeast London) to MSG. It's been a dream of mine my whole life for an opportunity like this, and thanks to Jake [Paul] and Nikisa [Bidarian], it's become a reality.' It doesn't take Scotney long to mention the name of one of boxing's most controversial figures. Jake Paul and his Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) vehicle have made a big move to become the market leaders in women's boxing over the past couple of years, and Friday's event — airing live worldwide on Netflix — should mark a memorable milestone, an all-women card with 21 combined world title belts contested. Advertisement 'It's third time lucky when it comes to me and Jake,' Scotney says with a laugh. 'I was begging to be featured on the first Taylor vs. Serrano card [in 2022] but it never worked out. By the time the rematch came around [in 2024] I even DM'd Jake, but again I got nothing back from him. Thinking about it … he has still actually left me on 'read.' But I guess I wore them down eventually. Timing is everything in boxing and I guess this was my destiny all along. 'I'm not sure when the occasion will sink in, if I am being honest with you — probably the day after, when I can look back at what I have done. But I am pretty good at locking in. Obviously it's a huge deal for me fighting inside MSG, but my mindset has always been to take care of what's in front of me.' Scotney's record is unblemished as a pro through 10 outings. After turning pro during a pandemic-stricken 2020, she moved seamlessly to her first world title in her seventh fight, beating Cherneka Johnson for the IBF strap at 122 pounds. Benefitting from more eyes on the women's code during 18 months of pandemic-era restrictions across the globe, Scotney believes that female fighters subsequently suffered a slump as Turki Alalshikh and the Saudi Arabian influence entered the game.

(Ed Mulholland via Getty Images) 'As good as Saudi Arabia and the investment may have been good for the sport and big fights, it hasn't really benefited women's boxing,' she says. 'We just haven't had the same investment or opportunities offered to us as the men. But that's what's been so special about Jake and MVP investing in us. It feels like a big family here — they [MVP] are interested and invested in our stories as fighters.' Advertisement Scotney's next opponent, Mercado, shares a weight class, a world title in the super bantamweight division and also the same birth date as Scotney. But unlike the London fighter, Mercado has grown up in the paid ranks in typical Mexican pugilist style. She made her debut as a 16-year-old in the north of Mexico, and has since built a 27-fight record with just three losses. 'I've watched her loads of times,' Scotney admits. 'We nearly fought in my second fight as a pro, but it didn't quite work out. She's got a very awkward style, she's crude and does everything very well — she's a box of tricks. And that's going to be dangerous for me. 'She's a champion, but so am I. I have put my trust in [coach] Shane [McGuigan] and I am ready to box to orders. I have to trust the process and believe in myself and know that she hasn't seen what I have to bring to the fight.' Scotney speaks glowingly of her coach, McGuigan, and is candid enough to admit that she has only just 'dipped her toe' into what they can accomplish as a pair. Their chemistry is infectious as they glide around the ring working on spiteful combinations, with an eclectic Spotify mix booming around the gym, acting as a comfort blanket for the champion. Ellie Scotney has fast become a belt collector in the super bantamweight division. (Action Images via Reuters / Reuters) There's a steely eyed focus that is impossible to ignore from the 27-year-old. She looks at home within the four walls of the Leyton gym, which acts as a much-needed sanctuary in what has been a testing year. Advertisement In May this year, Scotney's friend and Durham boxer Georgia O'Connor died after a short battle with cancer. Scotney previously called O'Connor the 'most beautiful human' she had ever met, and Friday night in New York acts as the perfect opportunity to honor who she called her 'sister.' 'In my eyes, this fight is about Georgia — she is the main event," Scotney says. "It's been hard, but at the same time it has given me drive and a purpose. Before she passed I made a promise to her that she'll always be a part of my story. So that's what I am going to make sure I do.' Scotney's session begins to wrap up and I push for a prediction. Perhaps the spike in endorphins will act to lower her guard? But no, 'You know I'm not going to answer that,' she confirms. 'But it's going to be a historic night, and I am so proud to be a part of it. If this fight [card] was all men, I think even Turki [Alalshikh] would struggle to afford it! 'Jake is changing the game — he is the 'Excellency' of women's boxing,' she laughs, poking fun at Alalshikh's sobriquet within the sport. 'Surely that'll get me a bonus, right?'

Mixed reports as Barcelona star considers Premier League return
Barcelona star Ferran Torres could still opt for a bold return to the Premier League this season as he plots his next move. The Spain international showed his worth in the 2024/25 campaign run-in as Hansi Flick's side sealed a trophy treble in his debut season. Advertisement A injury to Robert Lewandowski gave him a chance to stake a claim as leader of Barcelona's attack – flanked by Raphinha and Lamine Yamal – and he impressed in the Polish veteran's absence. He ended the 2024/25 with a career-high 19 goals, bolstered by that period of covering for Lewandowski, but the latter remains undisputed as No.1 in Flick's plans. Ferran Torres' Premier League return uncertain Torres has previously stated his confidence at becoming the main man in Flick's attack but he knows that will take at least another year. Photo by Esport3 Lewandowski still has the option to extend his contract on into the 2026/27 season, and Torres faces a call on whether he is happy to wait, particularly with a World Cup on the horizon next summer. Advertisement Premier League side Aston Villa have been consistently viewed as a possible destination for Torres, despite doubts over his willingness to return to England, after struggling at Manchester City in his early career. Reports from transfer specialists claim Unai Emery does have money to spend, despite missing out on UEFA Champions League qualification. However, that rumour is firmly rejected by Catalan outlet Mundo Deportivo, citing sources from both Barcelona and Villa, who claim the link is wide of the mark. The chance of Villa making an offer still remains on the table but there has been no bid put forward by Emery. Lewandowski's game time will be delicately managed next season, and that could be decisive for Torres, if Flick convinces him on his enduring place in the wider squad across a busy season.
