    Sign him up. As not only are Celtic playing good football and scoring a high number of attractive goals, he is proving he is a top scout. Im an Arsenal fan and I remember Wenger's early years where he used to beat everyone to the top young French players. Eventually the scouting became saturated and every decent player had a dossier & after a while it wore out the competitive advantage. But Ange is head and shoulders the most advanced scout in Asian football right now. No other club in Europe has the insight to the Asian market that Celtic has, simply because Ange knows it like the back of his hand.

    Almost a certainty there are more undiscovered gems playing in the Asian domestic leagues and Ange's is looking at them. Perhaps even look outside Japan, have a look in South Korea.

    Can't believe the effect he's had.

    The effect Kyogo has had. Hatate and even Maeda and Gucchi have all come in and looked good. Albeit one got dealt a dirty leg breaking type tackle.

    The damage he could do if guys like Hatate, Kyogo, Jota, Abada and Maeda play together (I know it's not really possible because what on earth is that formation) but still... Jesus it could be world destroying

    See the difference even just the littlest bit of structure and direction gives to a squad.

    Can you imagine how * other aspects of how the club was being run when Lennon openly admitted to never analysing or reviewing past performances?

    Then differences that have been noted and improved almost the moment ange walked in because he brought back that level of basic preparation and coaching back?.)

    It's why I hate their title win more than anything. No way do they win a league title do long as Celtic have a professional and prepared coaching team. Literally without over simplifying it....that is the squad level of what celtic has and can purchase in the market that all we need is a manager who actually does analysis of the squad and previous performances

    I love this man. But I loved him long before tonight. I'm not sure what it is about him, but I'm just so desperate for him to do well here. So happy for him as he fully deserves last night

    I don't think there is anything this man can't do. * I even saw Kennedy smiling at least 3 times last night, that is miracle stuff right there.

    His interviews are so refreshing- doesn’t just trot out the usual answers to the usual mundane questions

    also loved “ I don’t buy players , I buy people”

    Never gets too up or down which is massively important..

    Honestly still buzzing over how fearless he was and had that team playing yesterday. For a couple of year's we've had it lorded over us and looked a team that's easily rattled..

    Last night we took that all away and it swung massively. We pressed them. We're aggressive. Bullied them. The place was like a cauldron from Support to ball boy's making it uncomfortable for them..

    What I wanted. Let them feel how much we despise them..

    The likes of our captain pressing Barisic whilst shouting shitebag at him for running back the way. Wee thing's like that all night....that comes from the manager..

    Still buzzing off my * at what he's doing with us..

    Seeing him smiling and struggling to contain his emotions at FT was something else.

    In general football is a pretty predictable game. Coaches rehash older methods and stick to well-worn ideas, making little changes here and there. You rarely get really original inventive managers, and when they do come along they stand out. I genuinely believe Ange is one of those. Not to compare their ability, but I remember watching Pep's Barca back in 2008 when he first took over and it blew my mind - it was almost like watching a new game. The way Ange plays football is new, you could see it straight away. Not just the inverted full backs, but the combinations and the shape of the midfield, the way they isolate full backs and overload on the wings. There's just something special about it that you don't see other teams do. *, I might be getting carried away but I think we have one * of a manager and I hope he sees himself building something special here, cause all the tools are there to do it.
