Wouldn't be a surprise for Newcastle to appoint him and limp to the finish tbh.

He's in a win-win situation there Ashley - fans will support Coloccini as he's a good guy, and we're in no danger of going down.
Rather have him in charge than Pardew, too.

I don't think appointing him is a good idea, but daft ideas like that appear to the normal at St. James'.

Ah I remember Accrington Stanley getting fined when James Beattie didn't have his badges.

That can easily be worked around by giving him some made up job title instead of manager or head coach while someone with coaching badges gets that job title without actually filling that role.

Gigg's didn't have his either last year did he?

I'm pretty sure he took some when he was still playing. And is close to/had already obtained his pro license.
Don't think you need it if you're only going to be performing the job short term, either, and UEFA have always granted grace periods to new managers who don't have it. E.g. I don't think either Avram Grant or Paul Ince had it when they started in the Premier Leage.

Regarding Pardew, a fairly average manager. Probably taken the club as far as he could. One excellent season, one poor season and 18 months of alright. Nowhere near the disaster some have made him out to be.
The likely list of replacements seem to be underwhelming or unlikely.

Nigel Worthington? Who stepped down from York because he himself admitted he wasn't doing a good job? In league two? That Nigel Worthington? Bloody hell

Beardsley/Carver til the end of the season then reassess. De Boer intimated he'd be willing to leave Ajax for us at the start of the season but Ashley is unlikely to appoint somebody who he'll have to pay compensation for.
I really wouldn't mind Sherwood - he'd play decent football and keep us in midtable - which is all we're going to be under Mike Ashley. Just don't want any more boring defensive football to watch - I go and pay 600 a season for a season ticket and I'd like to be entertained. Seen way too many games under Pardew where we're camped on our box launching failed counter attack after counter attack through players with 0 attacking quality like Gouffran and Sammy Ameobi.
Not really, midtable is enough for most fans - our form throughout 2014 would have had us relegated most seasons.

Why are we going of Calendar Years now, rather than footballing years? Newcastle were in the top 10 for pretty much all of last year, and Pardew has left the club far clear of relegation at the halfway point this year.
I don't know who I want, none of the managers that I know sound appealing (Hoddle/Bruce/Sherwood/Pulis) and I honestly don't know enough about the foreign guys (Tuchel/Galtier/DeBoer). Right now I'd rather take a chance on a foreign guy.
I also like a look of that guy at Augsburg.
I'd also be willing to wait until the end of the season for the right man, than appoint the wrong man now.
