According to a Glaswegian fish and chips wrapper newspaper, we are very close to hiring Ange Postecoglu - the Celtic supremo.
What does he offer us? Not much in the way of experence in the top level leagues - please don't quote me Scottish league.... *** no offence
Ange is going to be as cheap as CHIPS like someone once said...Music to bumbles at the charge of Spurs Levy
Oh, the Levy and Ange story....Like the Odd Couples...with Levy the polite and well mannered one -- you could see it now
Imagine Ange demanding Joe Hart to be offered a new contract at Spurs
Really nice chap and an Aussie, a good sort then
I would welcome him if he can banter like Aussies do! Got bored with drab pressers and drama telly from the like of Conte.
Ange will come in and speak English in an Aussie way, and tow the line and never say anything about transfer or injury....All is good Mr Levy...No problem Mr Levy
Welcome to Spurs -- the perennial "almost" side...
Here's the sauce for those love this kind of things

I’m happy enough if he was appointed. Any fans I know of Celtic tell me we are lucky to be getting him!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s a huge risk though, they won’t like to hear it but winning with Celtic just isn’t an achievement - it’s like having a cheat code with football manager.
Other than that he has had some success with Japans biggest and richest club side and did okay in Australia - he was also relegated one season in Australia.
The good news is that we are the club where the speculation and guessing games will stop - we and he will finally find out if he is cut out for the elite game or not. It’s rubber underpants time but I really hope it works out for us and him
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Genuinely struggling to understand the “huge risk”. You’ve just finished 8th in a 6 horse race, and been abject in the Cups … again. So what’s the risk exactly? Ange would be a risk for teams expecting to win things. No offence, but worst case at Spurs is you’ll still be pash, but at least playing attractive, attacking football in the process.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The risk is that we have been CL regulars, finalists in 2019 - who was the last Scottish club to make the final? Was colour TV around?
We are a club that is capable of being in there and mixing it with the elite sides - we are also capable of being pizz like last season.
Nuno was punted after having us in ninth place after a few months - I can easily see Ange replicating that, we need to start moving forwards again

Meh, he may well be a top manager or he may well be a massive flop, either way he is destined to fail under the misery of ENIC.
It would be an underwhelming appointment, but he would jump at the chance and he will be a perfect yes man for Levy.
Levy will not want a repeat of Conte calling him and Lewis out, and nothing will ever change under their ownership.

Spurs have won 3 Euro trophies - first British team to do so in 63, then 72 and 84. Very few British sides get near Spurs European record, United, Liverpool, Forest Chelsea - that’s about it.
Making a CL final or beating Dunny on the Wold to make the old style European cup final - meh

Sounds like it’s close to an announcement one way or the other - we’re at the Arne Slot rejection stage now, I wouldn’t be hugely surprised if he turns us down, who the faaack wants to work for Levy.
If he does come then he will of course have my support, and I wish him good luck - he will faaacking need it believe me

So spurs would win the SPL 9 times out of 10? Are ppl that thick that they think playing in Scotland you can pay Harry Kane 300k p,w? You would be lucky to finish 3rd each year on the budget you get here. It’s like dropping Celtic into the EPL, instantly allowed to go 1billion £ in debt to build a new squad.

CL regulars? You’ve only made top 4 once in the last 4 seasons, and that was a scraped 4th on the last day. You can also maybe wum us about your great Euro pedigree when you’ve actually won ol’ big ears, eh?
For what it’s worth, I have doubts that Ange’s all out attacking methods will be successful at Spurs. Pep’s deploying Stones as a nominal RB who’s basically playing central mid. Ange has been doing that since day one up here, but with BOTH FBs playing the inverted role with licence to come inside … while also only playing 2 CBs, who can be left pretty exposed on the counter, as he doesn’t even favour a genuine defensive midfielder, just gets a naturally attacking one (our captain) to sit deeper. Now all that has been great domestically, most of the time … but decent sides exploit that, as we’ve found out in Europe. Maybe Ange will adapt though?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spurs have been in transition in the last 4 years, so I am not sure why you chose 4 years maybe to suit the narrative as if you were to say 5 years you would have to mention Spurs being not only in CL, but in the final of CL.
Celtic may have been in many CLs, but how may CL finals have they played in. None
Spurs did win the European trophies first having done the double too.
For me, Ange maybe the best manager yet to be discovered but coming from a very weak league like the scottish league, I have my concerns as that is a very weak league
Ange will find it soonenough how tough it is in the English PL compared with playing against Rangers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Celtic were the FIRST British team to not only play in the European Cup Final, they were also the first British team to win it back in 1967🤔 Your’e welcome!🥴👍

Willing to give the guy a chance. At least he plays attacking football. Levy must know If Ange fails then his head will roll.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nonsense. If that were true his head would have rolled with Mourinho. Every manager its the same story. I dont get how anyone could be excited with this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s not excitement, just hoping for a semblance of normality.

Shhh, let them have their dream of being able to win something. Never mind the wages of Spurs' 4 or 5 highest paid players is more than the two old firm squads put together. Like I said, they'd go bankrupt trying.
Good thing Pointy isn't in this thread.

Ange done but dusted yet!
Happy? We had to appoint someone eventually...?
