    Don't think thats true at all. He's said repeatedly he won't comment on these matters, ever.

    If anything he's being true to his word in how he behaves.

    I think he loves the adulation and thrives off it. It makes him and his team better. I get what you’re saying though. He is not a Celtic supporter and maybe we are guilty of projecting that onto him.

    I think he if he could get away with not speaking to the hacks in the media, he would. And when he does speak about speculation, he doesn't entertain it. He speaks about football. The team, the progress, the challenges.

    Nothing strange about the silence from him or the club in this regard, especially week of the cup final. Once this is done, it'll be clear where we all stand. All lot of folks adding 2+2 together and getting pie squared with very little info.

    It 100% would.

    They’d hear it in Tottenham.

    "Some of Postecoglou’s closest confidants believe he will take the leap if the Spurs position is offered to him, while his agent Frank Trimboli, a West Australian who co-founded London talent agency Base Soccer, has long-standing business ties with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, and has been pushing his EPL credentials in the background for months."

    Doesn't sound great.

    It's not just that he wouldn't get time to implement his project at Spurs, will the fans even back him ? When he came here there were doubters but from day 1 there was this sense of "He's Celtic manager now so he's our guy and we back him"

    Scott Munn is Spurs CFO. Ex Melbourne Heart/City and CFG. Will know Postecoglou very well.

    Based on comments I've seen from some of their fans, they're craving a team that plays good, attacking football, so if the early signs of what he's trying to do are there, maybe that buys him some leeway.

    Equally though, they're an entitled bunch and after a couple bad results I could see a lot of pressure being put on Levy to make a change. A dangerous game would be against Poch's Chelsea, because get pumped in that one and he'd probably be a dead man walking.

    I think his reaction after the final whistle on Saturday will speak volumes. I imagine his body language will kinda show where he's at to an extent.

    The fans in the stadium won't hear any speech from him though. It's Hampden, so there won't be the chance for him to speak to the fans.

    Will be a bittersweet moment if we lift the cup and shortly after we find out the big man is off. Can't fault him for the way he's conducted himself and if he goes to the top domestic league in Europe you can't begrudge the guy as he's earned it (literally) for himself.

    Hope to * we announce a long term deal (signed in the showers) and spark the treble party to end all treble parties!

    They also gave gifts to the coaches

    It'll feel a bit sad if he does go after saying in February that we'll be surprised how long he is here but I have to understand an opportunity like this is very rare, so I can't complain.

    It's amping up....and when the momentum and intensity kick in in the press and through social media, you feel there is more to it and it's seriously gaining traction. As I said, it's not Spurs the club necessarily that will attract him, it's the fact Ange knows these people at the top at Spurs on a personal level and that might give him better sway over what he needs and wants. That makes a huge difference compared to just any random club being linked to him.
    Spurs is a challenge, no top manager has had a chance to succeed. If he can turn that club around he truly would be a miracle worker and would make his mark in English football. It is a difft type of rebuild job than at Celtic but it still is a rebuild, which he thrives at.
    Would any other top 7/8 epl club gamble on him straight from Celtic? Unlikely. This is a massive once in a lifetime opportunity for him. It might not come again.
