    Agree with everything you say here.

    I think Ange was surprised by the chance and probably did see himself here a good while. He's 57 and was treated with a bit snobbery from us so would likely not imagine stars aligning in such a way that a relatively big team in the EPL would give him a shout.

    RIP ange. He’s dead to me now Enjoy your sky millions. Now * off and promise other gullible * a legacy[/QUOTE]

    I can relate totally to this , and the the overriding fact that springs to mind is his first presser and the fan media guy saying "they are not your friends " and something like being honest and open with us after Rodgers....tbh I felt he played that part like a very good actor ,had me believing his every word , we as fans can never understand someone as close to our club not loving celtic like we do and choosing to move on so quickly while holding everything in the palm of his hand like that ,so for me showing that anger is normal for breaking your heart and fooling you at the same time .

    I think it would be fair to assume they knew he was going.

    Yeah but he wasn't saying nothing to keep squad harmony he was saying nothing because he didn't want the suits upstairs knowing he had been approached by representatives from Spurs and been discussing a potential move on the sly. It's clear they knew very late on as well and I mean in the last couple of days. Why would he not want them knowing? Any of the potential answers to that question do not reflect very well on Ange, whatever way you look at it. He knew he was going to drop this bomb and had prob been sitting on it for weeks, no doubt stringing staff along with transfer targets, pre season schedules etc. That's why Desmond/Lawell looked so utterly * off on Sat.

    With how quickly things have moved today, I think it’s fair to assume he definitely knew of the interest from Spurs and obviously knew he was going to pursue it further. However, I totally understand him completely dodging the question last week. If he says last week there has been contact, and the unthinkable happens and we lose on Saturday, instantly we would have all said it was because he wasn’t totally focused on the game. Which I don’t think was the case in all honesty.

    Hold up..in Inverness...blue is recycling (paper and plastics), black is general waste!
    And in London we have standard bins for waste, tiny black plastic boxes for paper and card and plastic green boxes for glass and plastics..That's right..they take away our glass! (Unlike Inverness the cads!)

    It was embarassing watching him waffling his way around the question on Saturday like a sleazy politician. Toe curling, should have just said no to interviews. Not telling the press and supporters is one thing. Blindsiding the board and players quite another. No matter what way you dress that up it doesn't reflect well on him.

    There are people at the club earning a fortune to always have a shortlist of potential candidates ready. Even the DOF of my local fooball team in Switzerland said he always has one ready. If a 5m club can do it, Celtic can as well. Even if they're being blind sided.

    Spot on.

    The absolute best time for a manager to leave is the day after the season finishes.

    Ange was doing a great job so they had to be prepared someone would come in during the summer. They have not been blindsided in any meaningful way.

    For the record, I think Nicholson would agree and is well prepared for this.

    If Strachan leave with him, he surely knows the laptop belongs to the club and he's useless without it? :84::giggle1:
