Ange Postecoglou

So does Jason Cummings.

 

He did for some people. Not for me.

 

So he doesn't commit and it still isn't about the players

I think we will be looking at a complete rebuild whoever comes in to be fair.

Don’t see us appointing someone who plays like Ange.

No doubt WGS style wasn’t great he did however win the league against a strong Deadco side and got to the last 16 in Europe with a centre half pairing or McManus and Cauldwell.

 

And that’s fine. I’d hazard a guess he did for most on here and in the stands though. There was celebrations on my bus but there was also discussions as soon as his interviews went up on the drive home. It became very much about him and not the club.

That’s maybe just my bus. The talk going up was about Ange and the majority of the talk coming back was about Ange.

 

Give a defensive manager the chance to keep CCV and add a star GK, and we'd stay in Europe after Christmas. But I want to see Ange make that evolution, to grow as a manager by becoming a tactical realist. He's signed Iwata- a step in the right direction.

 

Don't always agree wi James Forrest and some of his stuff is dramatic but valid points in there absolutely. JJ and GG gone quickly as their heads were turned. AJ signed in November was it to cover for this. Ange was decisive about this. Now it's his turn. What's it gonna be.

Few other points as well like his relationship wi the board as DD and PL didn't look happy at all. What about us as fans as he called us. The best on the planet. Very bitter sweet week for us and still none the wiser.

Time will tell. Hopefully we jnow before he goes on holiday Tuesday.

 

Strachans style wouldn't cut it now for us imo Brendan Rodgers couldn't even break down teams domestically in his last 2 seasons. Lucky for him the huns were still pish then. We can't afford to drop any points domestically because the huns won't.

 

Come on mate.

You think, standing on that stage yesterday on The Celtic Way, Ange announced he was staying that it would have shifted focus?

Literally everyone there was praying for him to say it. It would have been utter bedlam.

Still don’t think it’s a done deal at Spurs but there is clearly something going on.

 

Let me get this right, a big club as Celtic are, may not be able to retain one of the best Managers they have ever had

 

Nae flies on you mate.

 

I'm still not wanting to overly entertain him leaving, albeit I hoped he would have committed to the club after the game yesterday with some positive words on next season.

But, assume he may be off, the worry about not having in place a director of football (of some kind) is exactly this.
Ange has came in and got everyone singing off the same hymn sheet, but what's to stop him going south, taking Kewell with him and anyone else he's brought in with his name.
New manager comes in, whoever that is, is landed with Strachan and Kennedy yet again, needing retrained to the new managers style.
Say new manager is neglecting the academy side of the club, they end up playing different football to the main team again.

Whole things potentially a * show.

I guess the logic is that we are trying to make everything internal with the likes of Mark Lawwell and Nicholson being in high offices, with Peter lawwell returning to the top table.
Nothing like jobs for the boys eh.

They absolutely drop points.

And there's nothing wrong with a simpler method of attack. Who's to say that we couldn't smash teams open with a 2-man strike force? Ange uses it sparingly, but it has merit in Scotland.

 

Stopped reading at the idea that Ange owes us a long term contract.

There has been a bit of revisionism here imo. We didn’t wholeheartedly embrace him when he first joined - we embraced him once he began to win games, implement his style and demonstrate that he could be successful.

Nothing wrong with any of that, but football fans are fickle and we’re no exception. Our loyalty is to Celtic - not Ange - and he’ll be well aware of that.

 

No mate, you aren’t odd at all. There’s plenty of reasons to stay here, least of all to show some integrity and give back to the one club that gave him a chance in Europe. Ffs even Sunderland in league 1 wouldn’t give him a chance and he’s seriously considering leaving to the first opportunity.

I’m not a passionate Ange fan, I’m a passionate Celtic fan. I may be an Aussie and I do really love the football he produces, but I guess I’m embarrassed, embarrassed that the guy I sold to the rest of you fans, the one who I said give him a chance and you’ll love him, I’m embarrassed that this is the way he and his agent are acting to overshadow a great moment in Celtic’s history.

If he does stay, I’d want a long contract with a no talk clause in it for his agent. Something that penalises the agent for shopping him in season.

 

Think it’s time you joined the ban list

The way I see it now is with him not fully committing to the club is that if he doesn’t get the spurs job. It’ll be West Ham or something like that, he’s made his position increasingly difficult with the board after not signing a 3 year contract on offer, and then not committing to next season in any interviews.

As I said previously he didn’t need to say he wasn’t going could of said Spurs have approached my agent and there will be talks after the final with all parties which gives everyone clarity and knows what’s going on.

That way he quashes any speculation and saves all the uncertainty doesn’t rule himself out the job and doesn’t fully commit to the job on offer either.

For me if he doesn’t get a EPL job or that I’m sure the powers that be will not fully trust him going forward

 

Noticed that Enriques odds have dropped a bit on sky bet. Not that it goes for anything.
