    Have to disagree with the bolded. It’s a coping mechanism, pure and simple.

    If Ange goes to Tottenham it’s because Ange wants to go - nothing more to it. It’s not his agent forcing him, or the media playing mind games.

    I’ve never met Ange, but it’s clear as day that he’s his own man - as much as anyone I’ve seen in the Celtic manager position, ever. The idea that the press are going to actually sway what he wants to do in his career/life, is just mental to me.

    I wouldn’t put my mortgage on him being at Spurs longer than 6 months to be fair mate. Look at how it started here. It could quite easily start even worse down there given the state they are in and who they are competing against. A lot of their fans don’t want him just now, if they started badly, I think it would turn nasty. You just don’t get any time down there.

    Mind Frank de Boer got 4 games as palace manager. They only gave Big Sam one game as England coach too. Savage.

    Nuno Espírito Santo got 10 games before being fired. Working for Spurs under Levy doesn’t tend to be a long term thing.

    Was watching a spurs podcast last night and something that came up that I was astonished at there is a players committee that meet levy every month and they have a chat with the chairman.
    I'm sorry that totally undermines the manager there and I think that's why they are going through a fair rate of managers as the players just say to levy we don't like him or can't get on with him and he just fires the manager.

    I think if he does talk to them, that he will not take up the role unless he has total control which I don’t see Levy agreeing too he’s too much of a control freak, as for the players there has been more disharmony in that squad than any since Erickson left because of an incident.

    there best player who is keeping them in the PL will leave and if he doesn’t I don’t think he will be suited to Ange stile anyway all out work rate and on the front foot he will need at least a season to get them up to speed at Celtic he had players wanting to progress at Spurs he will have players already at the top of their limit. To turn that team into PL winner he will need about 10 players.

    anyway one way or an other we will find out hopefully after we become treble champions again in 2023

    I assume you're serious, in which case Tottenham are destined for relegation. Players and the chairman running things instead of the manager. FFS, that is idiotic. No way is Ange going there.

    McGowan has been out the loop for a few years now.

    18 managers since the milenium. We've had 7 or 8 if you include JK

    Don’t read any of the shiterags, all I know is McGowan was cut off a while ago. Under Ange & Nicholson we don’t give any exclusives like Lawwell used to.

    So being * at your job and gaslighting the fans means alcoholism is fair game as a retort?

    Nah, not for me. * poor behaviour.

    Been a quick 2 years! Time flies when you having fun I suppose. The work he has done from where we were when he came in has been outstanding. He’s left us in a great position and we should give him a great send off today.

    I think he just means having a grudge in general mate. I certainly wouldn’t have a dig at Lennon about alcoholism. However, I’ll make no apologies for saying he is an egotistical * who treated the fans with utter contempt.
