I know we’ve all discussed the pros and cons of Big Ange but what we could really do with is some sort of video where we can see his passion for real

So Monday is when we find out he's turned us down and is staying at Celtic right?
I'd go the other way, you win the treble with Celtic there is no realistic goal which beats that in modern football. Lisbon Lions aren't happening again, even Europa League is financially unattainable in reality. Common sense says he'll take the Spurs job if offered it. Just think that the big winners in this chain of events will be Rangers.

Of course we’ll get an Aussie manager ahead of our tour to…. Checks notes for pre-season tour….

Australia :woot: great, that should sell a few extra tickets. Nice one Danny boy, always thinking.

Unless of course he says well we've won the treble but Rangers got to the EL final, let's try and emulate that...

And one man wants the cheapest option he can get away with. :(
Levy spent an absolute fortune on Mourinho and then Conte. The “cheap” hiring Nuno was Paraticis doing wasn’t it? Which Levy had to fix by intervening and convincing Conte to come and paying him an absolute fortune.

Something doesn’t fit here. And I suspect it’s your assessment of Ange.

Postecoglou is no mug and no chairman’s bitch. Any understanding of his work in Australia would show you that - and his winning over of a sceptical Celtic fan base.

is he the best for Spurs? I don’t know. But portraying him as a cheap option does him a massive disservice

Agree although I think Trix means cheap in terms of no buy-out clause as you’re right we paid huge wages for Jose and Conte and Nuno was Paratici’s last min choice over Fonseca.

I challenge anyone to get through this video without taking out a contract on the life of Sam Matterface


So annoying when they state something wrong and go along with. Levy never said he wanted a young manager. He said he wanted a manager who will work to improve a young squad.

This thread is enlightening and doesn’t go round in circles…

anyways, anyone seen this?



Comes across as very passionate and likeable..

:cautious:

That video has become this managerial search’s version of “I’d like to see what Potter can do with a decent striker”

My worry about Ange is his Celtic team are very poor at defending. If he come to us we’ll be like Biesla’s Leeds. We’ll overwhelm some teams but the better ones will pick us off like Celtic were in Europe.

I’m not an Ange fan but three important points:

1) 9 of the goals conceded have come in 3 of their last 4 games since they won they league. Pre this they had only conceded 25 goals in 34 games. Look at Barcelona for comparison, pre being 99% certain of winning the league they had only conceded 11 in 33 games. They’ve since conceded 7 in 3 of their last 4 games. In both instances they’ve utilised their squads and took their foot off the gas.

2) Celtic play a high press all out attacking football. The risk with this is leaving gaps at the back. However, in Celtic’s case this isn’t really an issue as they frequently don’t just beat the opposition they hammer them. When you’re scoring 3, 4 goals etc most games it doesn’t matter if you concede 1.

3) They no longer have the likes of VVD and Tierney at the back. They’ve now got CC-Vickers who’s miles below the level of VVD… with Joe ‘I forgot to dive’ Hart in goal. If our rumoured targets go to plan, Ange will have a much greater calibre of goal keeper and defenders than he had at Celtic.

Surprised there isn’t more in the media tonight. The club media team played the Spurs reporters in a footy match today. Sure there would have been plenty of beers sunk and gossip shared afterwards.

Very good points.

And if we were able to get a defender who is the ying to Romeros's yang, then these players are more capable of snuffing danger out faster.
