    Antonio Nusa

    Looks a fantastic prospect, with huge potential. Another bonus in that he speaks excellent English. It would continue the trend with our recent signings who can communicate and speak english well...Udogie, Vic, VDV, Manor, Drag, Werner. It undoubtedly helps players settle in quicker not only...

    Wilfried Gnonto

    Came across quiet well in this interview, sometimes with young players they can be led by agents/family into poor decisions. Skill wish, you can definitely see his potential & how he could fit into an Ange team. He's comfortable with both feet & could play right or left side.

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 18th July

    Agree, think Vlahovic is built for the Premier league. Juventus were a dysfunctional mess this season, hard to judge any of their players this year. He would be great competition to Richie, offer different skill set. Not the most elegant looking player, but neither is Haaland. At 23, Ange would...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Delighted with the appointment of Big Ange, think his character & style of management will be perfect for Spurs. Looking forward to seeing us play for the 1st time in a long time. One criticism Celtic people had against Big Ange was his lack of use of academy players. He played young players...

    Long rant....fully understand lots of people are worried about Ange P getting the job, but can't understand some of the reasoning. Being Irish, working in construction management, you inevitably end up with lots of Celtic mad mates, clients and staff. This narrative that his teams are clueless...

    Martin O'Neill previously spoke of having a 12 month rolling contract with Celtic, contract was set that he always had 12months remaining. Dermot Desmond wanted assurances O'Neill couldn't walk out on short notice & O'Neill was guaranteed at least a year's pay-off if sacked. Contract value...

    Important to note Celtics closest challengers when Rodgers did the treble were Aberdeen......Rangers were in turmoil that season & finished about 40pts off in 3rd.

    £2mill + a year currently at Celtic, not bad if you can get it. No doubt Spurs will offer him an increase on Celtic's new offer but Celtic would almost certainly offer longer job term security. Think the challenge of competing in PL will be his main reason to come.

    Only Ange & Celtic will know, all we can do is wait & see. Dermot Desmond doesn't normally let valuable people leave for free. Hopefully we'll find out early this week & we get closure regarding the managerial search.

    Generally in business with 12 month rolling contracts there is an agreed date that both parties decide if they are going to renew, usually weeks/months before contract ends, to give both sides some certainty. It's possible both Celtic & Ange P signed a commitment to renew the contract on...

    Rodgers definitely got better results in Europe, also led Celtic to title with 106pts, but personally also feel he had better players & squad.....Tierney, Edourd, Ajer etc. His teams were also more pragmatic that Ange P side. Most Celtic fans believe Ange P has done a better job than Rodgers.

    Regarding Ange P dismal record in Europe, think it's important to add a little context; A couple of weeks in charge of Celtic, his 1st & 2nd competitive games were champions league playoffs against a Danish team, which they lost by a goal over 2 legs. Cetic then knocked out AZ in the europa...

    Ange P doesn't travel with a set coaching staff, he's publicly stated he prefers to work with existing coaches at new clubs. He adds to the staff, Harry Kewell last summer, as required. If he is appointed, there is a big possibility that Mason will be assistant & Wells will be part of his...

    Ange P has the final say on who comes into Celtic, but he doesn't identify everyone who comes. He recommended Asian players to the recruitment staff that he was convinced could improve the team quickly & the club backed him. Joe Hart, CCV, Matt O'Reily etc.. were players identified by the...

    It's was funny talking to Celtic mate about state the club was in prior to Big Ange taking over..... Hated owner, fans wanted rid of Dermot D as no significant investment & botched managerial search. Chief executive leaving & questions over replacement. Top managerial target, Eddie Howe...

    Just talking to Celtic mate, corporate season ticket holder, who was at an event over the weekend to celebrate title win which was attended by some club executives. Apparently all talk about plans in place already for next season. Nothing confirmed by executives but talk doing the rounds was...

    Big Ange doesn't have a fixed backroom staff that move with him. From Australia to Japan to Celtic he has worked with coaches already in place. He's very keen to promote young coaches, adds to his staff as required & gives them a lot of responsibility on the training pitches. If Mason & Wells...

    A lot of people seem to assume that if Mason got the job, his staff would remain as is, Wells & Gibbs. He only had a couple of days to put a backroom team together, presumably he'd want to add to it. Would people's views change more favourably if Mason added someone experienced, like a Martin...
