    Hes already completely up against it with the reaction from Spurs fans to the speculation

    Because he's not stupid.

    If you come out and flat out DENY that you're going anywhere, then that's you nailed on to that response forever.
    "He said no move about Spurs but won't say no move about (insert next EPL role).

    Look at Slippy G. "Do I look happy, don't ask me stupid questions ".

    A smart man says * all. That way, if a real offer that does in fact interest you comes up, the standard response of "no comment" holds true.

    Ange knows the media game, having been mercilessly ravaged by the Oz media for years. He knows how to give the lickspittles in Smsm * all, and knows when to * on their chips if needed.
    He'd be a fool to either confirm or deny anything.

    I still think that its a dead job and he’s aware enough to realise that.

    On the other hand, turning that * show around must be attractive to some managers.

    Were we in any worse state? He will get an absolute fortune to spend on players. Or, he will make sure he gets an absolute fortune to sell on players.

    European football or not, the personal relationships he has with some of the hierarchy at Spurs will give him enough comfort that he will get the time he needs to implement his style of football and bring in the players he needs.

    If he is away, I hope it's announced a couple of days after the cup final. Let us celebrate the treble, if we win it of course, and then announce it when lives go back to normal. That way, it gives Nicholson and Desmond enough time to eye up the next managerial find.

    It's Knutsen for me. Absolutely has to be Knutsen. He's bound to be interested and he will have a relatively good grasp of the Scandinavian market, where we know there are gems kicking about.

    Just goes to show you the lure of the EPL.

    He got promised everything he wanted at celtic literally 2 weeks ago and was getting the biggest ever budget since Martin and it still isn't enough.

    Bittersweet moment for me. On verge of a treble and he is going.

    His comments about how long he will be here and quoting Tommy burns are a bitter pill to swallow.

    Thanks for everything ange all the best mate your going to need it!

    Ah well.

    Hope we get someone like Knutsen in. Looking forward to seeing how things develop over summer - we've got a good amount of money with CL guarantee, so no reason why we can't push the boat out a wee bit.

    If he goes, he's dead to me.
    I'll never trust another manager. All this pish about loving football, the passion etc. Pish.
    We took a big risk bringing him to Europe, we took him to our hearts, sing his name and he'd be ready to leave in less than 2 years?
    Nah. I hope It isn't true.

    Anything they make on hospitality goes straight back out on the cost of that stadium they literally built it for more revenue but for the next ten years that revenue goes to pay for that stadium * mental brexit and covid made the cost soar

    * gutted man.

    He's left us in a much better position than when he arrived so the board better no * about and drag their heels with his replacement.

    Seriously I wish the big man well. Not felt as strongly about a manager and squad for two decades and last year in particular will go down as one of the greatest of recent times.

    Bit worried he'll come for Jota, Hatate and CCV.
