Ange Postecoglou

Shaw signed a pre-contract in February. A pre-contract is a commitment to a transfer when the player's contract expires. He needed to wait until his old contract expired before he could sign for Celtic.

 

We signed him in February mate.

 

Fair beans then lads.

Know it was talked about awhile back, just the way it was paraded this week made it feel like he had signed now (and not pre contract back then).

My bad

But still the early signs are not good on Ange.
Rumours of Erik are bad for suggesting he's not having much say in signings.
The fact there is no news on new staff as well.

It's a worry because even if he does manage to bring some of his own over, they need to follow the same 10 day isolation period, which sets everything back again for the important start we have.

Which is why it suggests he's not bringing his own in and is happy to accept the dross we currently hold on to.

Signs are he is the cheap yes man this board desire.

We all hope this is wrong, but there is already the signs it's the case rather than not being.

Eric defeated some * good teams last season. Itll unsettle the team were about to play. I'm all for it.

 

When does he officially start then? Any news on staff coming in as well?

 

As a Celtic fan I feel as if I am in some sort of footballing limbo. Like everyone else I haven't a clue * is happening at our club. We don't know if our new manager is any good or not, we don't know if he is being allowed to bring in his own back room staff, we don't know which players will be staying or leaving, we don't even know if our new manager is actually working in the background either here or back in Japan and, yet, we have our board chasing us for our season ticket renewals. Has fans of any other club been treated with as much disrespect and disdain as us?.

 

That’s a massive reach.

 

Surely to play this attractive brand of football we would require coaches good enough to get the ideas across to the players for me this would take more than one man, all good teams have good coaches who buy into the main mans ideas which transmits over to the players, Iv said it once and ill say it again Rodgers came in as any good coach would locked and loaded with his own coaches and sports science team this is a sign that things will be changed for the better, I can't see Ange making the kind of impact we hope if he's going to turn up here and work with the boards signings and the boards choice of coaches...

All speculation of course none of us know what's happening really like anyone all I want is the best for Celtic ill back this man hoping it all turns out well but id be lying if I wasn't heavily concerned.

 

Hes barely in the door . You're jumping the gun tremendously. Some of the signings this summer will be far from Ange first choice but given the time constraints, that.would be the same for anyone.

Doesn't make him a yes man to take and accept transfer suggestions.

We also have no * idea what's going on regarding his backroom team. Chill oot

 

As long as laptop and lennedy are gone itll be fair dinkem i reckon.HH

 

HH

 

Shaw signed a pre-contract in Jan, so he'd have no choice in the matter as the deal was done.

EDIT - I see this point has been resolved earlier in the thread!

 

Well this is something to look forward too!

 

Boring, side-to-side play..?

 

Dont care if we win lol

 

I'll just be happy to see the team having an actual game plan once again.

 

I’d take brendan rodgers style domestically and wee strachans style in Europe

 

I'm not a fan of Kennedy but he was our coach for 4 trebles so he can't be all bad. If Ange wants to keep him as coach while he assesses the overall situation while also bringing in some of his own men I don't see the problem but obviously I'd be 100% against Kennedy ever being our manager.
Sviatchenko had a great attitude, loved being at Celtic and gave the impression he'd run through a brick wall for the team. I'd have no problem having him back. By all accounts he sounds like the type of player Ange would want in his team and do we know Ange hasn't sanctioned the move (if there is actually any truth in it).
Shaw is a free so minimal risk and was already signed - I can't see how that's anything to do with Ange.
I get the impression you're looking for issues to complain about before the guys even here. If he does fail then folk like you stoking up unrest among the fans will have contributed to the failure.
By all means criticise him once he's actually done something wrong but he's not even here yet ffs.

 

G’day all, another blow in from the antipodes.
Hugely excited to watch Ange get cracking at such a prestigious club.
I think you will all be pleasantly surprised.
Not sure if you guys have seen this but Vince Rugari is a football journo here in Australia. Might give you a little bit more insight into what you’re getting.
