Hev Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I heard from someone when he first came that MON doesn't have all the appropriate badges but he has an exemption for so many years as he has been a top class manager but that he has to get them by a certain deadline - sorry if this sounds a bit vague but that was definitely along the lines of what I heard - call all be rubbish though! (It was a Newcastle fan that told me cos he was so shocked that we got MON and I laughed saying that they only had Roeder who hadn't even got his coaching badges) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morduejamie Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yeah I read that he was on a coaching conversion course. what he is converting, and into what, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 He has an FA Diploma, same as Fergie. Thing is that by a certain date (I think it's by 2010 or something like that) they'll no longer be valid and you've gotta have these badges. Guess he's just getting them out of the way or something.

GaztonVilla Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 So he's converting his diploma into the badges. Nice one TS, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Should Martin O'Neill take charge of Newcastle United or any other Premiership club he will have to combine the job with studying for his pro-licence coaching badge. Yet the anomalies of the certification system for elite managers dictate that, should O'Neill be made England coach this summer, no such qualification will be necessary. FA Premier League rules require all managers taking jobs in the top division to hold the Uefa pro licence but those already occupying such posts have until 2010. If they fail to obtain the licence within four years they will be dismissed but would then, theoretically, be free to manage England, as that position requires no qualifications. Ferguson is likely to have retired by 2010, but O'Neill could well be working at a Premiership club and need to complete a residential course at Warwick University, an overseas study trip and several assignments over a period of up to two years.

Old Guardian Article Sorry to go a bit OT but I'm sure I heard somewhere that Fergie was told about having to get the pro licence badge and he told them in no uncertain terms what he thought of that. I think the hairdryer was out in force that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 22, 2007 Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2007 OK we've established where MON is, what he's doing and why he's there. Can we now get this back on topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianrobo1 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 now the question is whether we have a midfielder either right sided or central lined up. I am being greedy but the signals so far are magnificant. And remember to expect a lot more in the summer .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 What on earth is going on with Carlos Tevez? West ham just signed another striker....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I'd love Davies at Villa. If it doesn't happen I'd like Distin. In fact DIstin may be a more realistic option I agree Distin would be a gem Trouble is didn't he and his manager say they were in love and he wouldn't be going at any cost ? I thought Distin had stalled in contract talks with city? He might love it there, but unless he signed a deal a few days ago, his contract runs out this summer. So how much love he has for his manager I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSufferingVilla Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 an overseas study trip and several assignments over a period of up to two years. So would us winning the European Cup in 2009 count as an overseas study trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 does anyone expect anymore signings? I dont think there will be anymore but theres still a whole week for something to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasthevillan Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yes I think a central midfielder is likely with Berger and Baros not being here forever. I would be happy with Sidwell or even Papa Bouba Diop who may be off to Wigan...who?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
