Probably illogical but I'm reluctant to take another Chelsea exI'm a bit surprised we haven't been more linked with Potter to be honest, although wouldn't be surprised if he has been scared off us.
Poch took Southampton from 14th to 8th. He did well there, changed the way they played, instiled a better culture and improved the team but it's hardly that much more impressive than what Ange has done? The debat around Poch when he joined was pretty much the same thing as we have now with Ange.But what in Ange suggests that he is different other than he isn't a big name
People expect Ange to be the new Poch but I haven't seen anything as of yet that he could do that with us
Poch took a struggling team in Southampton and improved them in a year to the point most left for big money moves.
Ange on the other hand, brought an entirely new team(24 players) with only McGregor still being in the first 11 by the end of his reign.
That's very restrictive!Probably illogical but I'm reluctant to take another Chelsea ex
Significantly lower in that he's on a rolling contract which will have ended and therefore no compensation is required?Jump to content

Tottenham are poised to make an official approach to Celtic this week over the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as their new head coach.
Spurs want to hold talks with Postecoglou and are keen to open negotiations on Monday, after the Australian secured the treble with Celtic’s Scottish Cup win over Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Postecoglou has emerged as a leading contender to take over at Spurs, nearly 10 weeks after the departure of Antonio Conte, after an outstanding two seasons in Glasgow. Former Spain manager Luis Enrique and Fulham’s Marco Silva are also on Spurs’ shortlist.
Tottenham are seeking a new manager who will introduce an identifiable style of play and have been respectful in their pursuit of the 57-year-old, with Celtic’s season finally ending on Saturday. Celtic will demand compensation but are aware of Tottenham’s interest and will not stand in Postecoglou’s way if he expresses a desire to take over at the Premier League club.
Leicester City paid around £9 million to land Brendan Rodgers and his staff from Celtic in February 2019, but the fee for Postecoglou is thought to be significantly lower.
Postecoglou arrived at Celtic with no backroom staff in June 2021 and, crucially, could be open to working with Ryan Mason at Tottenham, who is highly regarded by club chairman Daniel Levy.
Scott Munn, the recently appointed chief operating officer, is a fellow Australian and a big admirer of Postecoglou’s methods and philosophy.
After Celtic’s win over Inverness on Saturday, Postecoglou said: “People around me have all worked hard to enjoy this moment, so that’s what I’m going to do.”
“I will enjoy it for as long as I can before people drag me away to talk about other things.”
“There will be a time to come for those kinds of questions but for now, we’ve grasped a small chunk of history for ourselves and I’m not going to pass that by being side tracked.”
Tottenham have experienced a number of setbacks in the process to find a successor for Conte, who left in March this year.
They held talks with former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann and Feyenoord’s Arne Slot but are now hoping to ramp up talks over an appointment this week.
Postecoglou is quite a big name, tbf.But what in Ange suggests that he is different other than he isn't a big name

Bit suprised this is still a worry for people.If Kane goes, I’d rather we got Enrique in. The calibre of player he will be able to attract will be miles above Postecoglou. And we will need that or I dread to think what will happen next season without a good transfer window. The club needs to look at the whole picture really. Recruitment is as key as the managerial appointment. Especially if we lose our best player by far.
I’d imagine after the Chelsea shitshow, that audition was a fail for a club in crisisI'm a bit surprised we haven't been more linked with Potter to be honest, although wouldn't be surprised if he has been scared off us.
Speak about your self being a disease.It's quite impressive that we win nothing and also ruin the enjoyment for fans of teams that do.
We've really pissed on both Feyenoord and Celtic fan's chips.
We're a disease.

Most clubs*I'm glad you appreciate a little healthy skepticism because I checked your comment that he's won things at every club he's been at.
He hasn't.
There have been three clubs where, at least according to Wikipedia, he didn't win anything.
Still, those Spurs fans whose thinking has 'no basis in reality', what are they like, eh?
