Here's a little thought...

Kevin Keegan hasn't got any coaching badges.

Does someone want to tell the Toon - and Betfair for that matter?

He will probably be given an FA Diploma double quick in recognition of his experience.

2010 is when the UEFA Pro License becomes mandatory in England at which point Ferguson, Redknapp, Curbishley and Keegan will be debarred from being managers if they haven't done their 240 hours by then.

The current licensing regime

The key to this appointment will be Keegan's Chief Coach. If he gets an astute tactician who is current with all the latest analytical tools, Newcastle could be a force again.

In terms of cavalier football, they already have players to quicken the pulse- Duff, N'Zogbia, Owen, Viduka and Martins- so we could see the Keegan style return very quickly which would be fantastic for the watchability of the Premiership.

If Keegan sticks with Sam's backroom, I don't know what we will get but if he picks Shearer, chances are we will have a farce.

The "love it" outburst was roughly at the same time of the year as Tim Flowers' "bottle" speech the year before. We know which one worked but then we didn't have to face five minutes of Graham Fenton on fire at the wrong moment! When Fenton got his first, I was gutted as I so much didn't want the Mancs to win the title- when he got the second I went berserk with joy. I was sitting at the Darwen end of the Jack Walker upper and had a grandstand view of the tearful geordies. Talk about lacrymose hysteria!

Credit where it's due.

Mind you there was a mention of this in the Mirror on Tuesday morning... ;)

Wonder where it leaves Shearer? He will be spewing. Keegan is the only boss who won't worry about him in the background.

At least Rovers can get on with their lives now.

Not as much as Hughesy!

It's bitter sweet. As much as I'm glad to see MH staying, I kind of like Keegan's 'heart on his sleeve' character...hating Newcastle just won't be quite the same again (for a few months at least).

Nicko... are you serious? No coaching badge? Ex England gaffer sans badge?

He's had plenty of downtime in the past decade to finalize that 'small detail', no?

Yes, checked with his last employer - at Man City right now - and he hasn't.

He had special dispensation three years ago, but I believe the rules have been tightened since.

I don't think he did any exams while he was 'between engagements.'

Ahh but you aren't going to get any Premier League club complaining in case they come a hunting for their manager.

Have Betfair actually paid out yet?

It doesn't need a complaint...it's a Premier League ruling, under orders from UEFA.

Southgate and Roeder had to sweat, Grant called a couple of old mates in Israel.

Funny though.

As I understand it Keegan had 'special dispensation' in his previous spell at Man City, but the rules are tighter.

I believe he will be allowed to work, but he will also have to do his badges to carry on into 2010.

Love it, love it.

By the way, interesting that talksport should pick it up so soon after it first appeared here. Call me Mr Paranoid, but...

If Keegan sticks with Sam's backroom (staff)

What's the word on that Nicko? I read on a couple of the tabloids that Sam's staff had departed with him and that was part of the x million they had to pay to get rid of him.

Also Amdy Faye isn't in the gers 16 tonight against Gretna.
