My 2c - The people best placed to know the details of his coaching badges are Ramon and any potential employers he has applied to. If he was likely to finish it in May as first reported (now people are saying August) you'd have thought he have at least got a look in at the AWs gig (there wasn't a huge rush on that appointment given the time of the WC cycle) - yet he didn't. Similar seems to have happened with previous tilts at AL jobs as well.
Seems to me like there is something to all this that isn't as simple as "he has his A and will have his Pro very soon". I don't think it's a huge leap to put some credibility in these claims either his acadef qual isn't up to snuff (2 month course seems a bit off) or he has failed his attempts at the pro a few times and that's got employers jumpy.
