I really can’t wait to see the Ange Era once it truly kicks into gear.

I can almost guarantee that we will have some bad results early on as the players adjust to his playstyle/system, as that has happened at most of his clubs, but I hope everyone shows some patience and accepts this as much as they can and the rewards could be brilliant.

Seeing as Fab has here we go'd, gotta say I cannot wait to stop checking this chat 15 hundred times a day.

When does the summer transfer window one open?

Alright, I haven't read all of the previous 1500 odd pages, but I have read enough to gauge that Ange is probably not the top choice for everyone.

I moved to Brisbane in 2005 and watched the Brisbane Roar win back to back championships while he was manager. Now the level of football in the A-league was probably at a similar level of quality as League 1 back then (probably not much better now).
Ange had quite an effect on the club and I believe actually raised the standard in that league, crowds were up and due to the way the league works where you have a league winner and then play off's to win the actual championship, it meant both times they won the final they played at home to 52K crowds for both finals. The team didn't have the best players in the league, but he put belief into them, which got them over the line. it was also pretty entertaining football, the bloke has something about him.
If he does come and to me, it's still an if, he will want control over players that not only come in but also ones that are moved on, I think if he doesn't get that if we turn us down.
I personally think if he does get what he wants and agrees to sign, supporters will be pleasantly surprised.
With his perceived lack of experience. His winning the Asian cup with Australia is the equivalent of a manager winning the Euros with a country like Switzerland, It shouldn't be. underestimated.
Anyway, whoever gets the job, I just want a team that is allowed to play football, staying up to stupid o'clock to lose 3-1 at home to Brentford can really ruin your Sunday.
We have had negative individuals over our club for so damn long. I am genuinely excited to see what some of these players may do with some positive belief behind them.

It begins.

Ange Postecoglou set to become Tottenham Hotspur head coach​

Celtic manager agrees two-year contract with option to extend

Ange Postecoglou is set to be named as Tottenham Hotspur’s new head coach after he agreed a two-year contract with the option of a third season.

The club agreed compensation with Celtic for the Australian, who won the Scottish Premier League in both his seasons at the club. Tottenham have been without a permanent manager since Antonio Conte departed in March and finished the season in eighth place in the Premier League.

Tottenham want Postecoglou, 57, to start work immediately because he needs to cut and reshape a bloated squad as well as to help decide on the club’s backroom staff.

One of his first tasks is likely to be talking to Harry Kane about his future — the England captain is wanted by Real Madrid as a replacement for Karim Benzema — and make a decision on Tanguy Ndombele, the club’s record £55 million signing who has been on loan for 17 months.

Postecoglou has been told that he will have to work within his means in the transfer market after Conte tried to pressure the club to spend significantly. Tottenham want to sign David Raya from Brentford to replace Hugo Lloris in goal, as well as bring in a creative midfielder and centre back at the very least.

They are keen on James Maddison and Harvey Barnes, the midfield pair who were relegated at Leicester City this season, and James Ward-Prowse from Southampton. Spurs are also aware that Harry Maguire, the Manchester United and England centre back, is expected to be surplus to requirements at Old Trafford.

Postecoglou is the 12th permanent manager appointed by Daniel Levy, the Tottenham chairman who took over in 2001 and has spent more than £1 billion on a new stadium and training ground but collected only one trophy: the League Cup in 2008. Levy has been under pressure from supporters to appoint a coach with a reputation for playing the “free-flowing, attacking and entertaining” football that the chairman said he wanted when looking for the successor to José Mourinho in 2021.

The players are expected to begin returning for pre-season training at the start of July to prepare for the club’s tour, when they will play West Ham United in Perth, Leicester in Bangkok and Roma in Singapore.

Postecoglou wants to bring John Kennedy, his assistant manager at Parkhead, to north London, although Celtic are keen to hang on to the 39-year-old former Scotland defender. He completed a domestic treble when Celtic beat Inverness Caledonian Thistle 3-1 in the Scottish Cup final on Saturday.

He joined Celtic from the Japanese club Yokohama F Marinos in 2021 and he previously coached at Brisbane Roar, Melbourne Victory and Australia, who he led to the 2014 World Cup finals. He has never managed in Europe’s top five leagues but was on Brighton & Hove Albion’s shortlist to replace Graham Potter in September last year.

Postecoglou has been among Tottenham’s listed candidates since the process began in March but the club have been trying to appoint a younger coach. They had talks with Luis Enrique, the former Spain head coach, and spoke to the representatives of Julian Nagelsmann and Arne Slot, who led Feyenoord to the Dutch title. They decided against trying to re-hire Mauricio Pochettino, who later joined Chelsea.

Note how the prick has to tinge any positivity around the new appointment by mentioning Kane. It should be a separate story, but no.

Nothing is a separate story to Harry Kane though. Today's weather forecast was dry but overcast with a minimal chance of rain which is more of a chance than Harry Kane still being at Spurs and not being at Man Utd next season.

As long as Ange gets us playing more forwards passes than backwards and we actually hold onto possession for more than 10 seconds, I’m in.
Ange be shouting about PEH all game if he plays him🤣 can't see him being here much longer. Decent player but imo one we can improve on.
