240 hours of study... how will roddy cope
240 hours of study... how will roddy cope
I wish i did not know then what I dont know now
I'm just picturing all the managers sitting in school uniforms now. Roy Keane biting the face off Avram Grant for forgetting a pencil, telling him "fail to prepare, prepare to fail", before getting in trouble for using "Trigg ate my homework" as an excuse for the 10th time.
Steve Bruce and Sam Allardyce would be copying Alex Ferguson's work over his shoulder, and Arsene's work wouldn't be finished because he didn't see one of the questions, and Harry Redknapp sitting at the back running a lottery scam.

"The current UEFA Pro Licence is running on the following dates:
2009:
March 31/April 1
June 6-10
September 5-7
December 6-10
2010:
January 2010
June 2010
Enrollment on the Pro Licence is by invitation only and requires a candidate to have experience of managing at League of Ireland level or at International level."
You can't put a price on success.
There may be Tutorial fees that candidates pay for PRO. In the lower level courses run by the FAI UEFA "A" was €1650, UEFA "B" €975, GK "A" €1400 and GK "B" €850. There's also reassessmments fee (completed course within 3 years) of between €50 and €100.
By being a LoI manager then an UEFA "A" licence is expected and that allows for the invitation to a PRO course.
" I'll go right up to here,
it can't possibly hurt.
All they will find is my
beer and my shirt."
Approx. € 6,500 a lot of money if you had to pay for yourself,although I am sure the employer in some cases will pick up the cost.
I believe TC has got it with us.. GC before him didnt..
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Yeah think Cousins has it alright, I think he was on the same course as Alan Mathews at the time. Gareth Cronin only has a B Licence as far as I'm aware. By all accounts he was only willing to do the A Licence course this month if the club paid for it and paid him the wages he'd lose out on for his week off work. One of the main reasons he left apparently.
Went up to Saratoga, where my horse naturally won.
As far as i know cousins only has the A license, there are very few who have completed the pro license
If god wanted us to play football in the clouds he would have put grass up there!
so..if roddy collins doesnt have a pro licence, how can Cork City be allowed in the Europa league either way
Is that Tom's pseudonym, tiktok?
Good evening!
I'm sure Roddy has a few associates who can whip one up for a couple of hundred.
Good evening!
Apparently our assisstant manager, Tommy Dunne, has one.
That won't be enough, UEFA won't accept that.
Just when you think Cork cant come out with anything else - they pull this little beauty of the bag.
Just shows how much of a clue TNB has about football. When you decide to get a new manager in and if you have ambitions to stay in the premier and get good revenue by playing in Europe. Surely you ask him have you got a Pro Licence before you offer him a contract!
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
I think he was doing the pro licence along with Anthony Gorman, Billy McKinley and Terry Gibson. Not sure if he completed along with the rest of them.
I'm just wondering can Roddy get one before it becomes an issue.
Is there a course being run any time soon?
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
It takes the best part of a year to get the Pro as far as I'm aware, you have to do a good bit of work. He won't have it by May or June or whenever the UEFA entry has to be in. Not that I'd expect it to be a live issue by then anyway.

I dont think any fans would care this year to be honest. TNB/Roddy is using it as a lure for players and Cork public not in the know about what's going on. That's my opinion anyway.

Those three are still taking the course, won't be complete until June 2010 as per Harpo's post above. Nor does Tommy Dunne, who was believed to be holding a Pro License.
