Ange Postecoglou

Hope he at least had the balls to say it to the players.

 

Literally dreadful patter.

 

Doubt it, seems like a sleekit * in hindsight, "away on holiday on Tuesday"

 

* off how it's all transpired, think he's been snidey as * and looking forward to having someone in who values tactics, specifically that you can change them to suit the situation you are in. Being flexible is vital as far as I can see, and he certainly was not that. Think we can do better.

All that said, and as much as he can get *, I still want him to succeed down there. Even just to get it right up they arrogant * who are bad mouthing our club.

 

Next

 

Move to ex thread. Couldn't care less about him now.

 

I guess the big question for the Aussie boys is do we change user names when we go to the spuds forum? How will we be able to recognise each other, and who's going to be the one to get the Greek Australian bit going?

Nah, in all seriousness you can stick it up yet *. This club gave you everything and you * off to run a plastic club in an oil money league with a bunch of * wannabe supporters.

I'll wait here for the next Aussie. I'm not watching that fake crap.

Why is taking a new job snakey?

He was offered a new job and chose to take it, happens all over the world in every industry. He doesn’t owe us anything.

 

Ange Postecogjew.

 

No, but in all seriousness, you can't really think that leaving for another club is one of the snakiest things a manager can do. Managers do it all the time. Are they all snakes? Have you yourself never left a job for a better job?

 

The English will drop sky soon they are too greedy they are already looking to see if it’s viable to have their own channel …. I hope they do I think they look at their numbers and underestimate that a good few of the viewership are actually subscribing for say golf f1 rugby or Scottish football does not necessarily mean they are gonna go out and get a separate subscription for epl

I don't feel the negative sentiment a lot are feeling towards Ange. I know he's been bumpin his gums about how long he's going to be here, the connection with the support etc. But I don't think he would've imagined he would ever get a job like Spurs whilst at us. Unluckily for us they are a basket case and been rejected off 8 or 9 managers.

At 57 years old, he'll probably not want to be managing late into his 60's, so this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for him to manage in what a lot of people perceive to be the best league in the world and also to be getting a good bit more money.

He's left us in a great position at the end of the season after completely revitalising us after finishing miles behind the huns. Massive contrast to Rodgers who left in the middle of a title race with the scottish cup still to play for. I hope he does well.

 

Aye all that I dont like to get close to them so I can make tough decisions patter. They are just disposable assets to him at the end of the day. I remember when he was Socceroos boss, Tam missed the World Cup and Asia Cup he was only like 21, still a young player. He had played in agony with a groin injury for months trying to get to the WC cause Ange said he wouldn't select him if he wasn't playing and he * his body up, was by his own account struggling mentally. Ange was asked how he was doing and dismissively replied "that's his clubs problem not mine, he's off my radar now" He's ruthless which is fine if that's how you want to live your life, it clearly works for him but it's not the face he showed to us.

 

PL on phone to Tottenham - he has a 1000 crew neck jumpers and some iron-on spurs crests ready to go…

 

Wonder what Alan Brazil thinks of the new Spurs manager.

 

It literally isn’t.

He walked out on Yokohama to join us and another manager may well walk out on another team to join us this summer.

It’s pretty normal and I’m sick to death of seeing people throw the toys out of the pram over it. That’s not aimed at you btw.

The one thing he can be criticised for is the ill judged “you’ll be surprised at how long I’ll be here comments”. Even then it wasn’t really clear that the Tottenham opportunity would become available and that he’d seriously be considered for it.

Also not sure what people were expecting him to say at the weekend. He can’t exactly come out and say “aye, I’m leaving” when talks haven’t taken place and nothing is confirmed.

 

Following the announcement today that Ange Postecoglou is to join Tottenham Hotspur FC, Celtic Football Club wishes him well for the future.

The process of appointing Celtic’s next football manager is already underway. While we will aim to announce this appointment to supporters as soon as possible, our priority will be to appoint the best candidate to take the Club forward.

Celtic Chief Executive, Michael Nicholson said: “It has been a pleasure working with Ange, a great football manager and a good man. He has served the Club with such energy and determination and delivered a phenomenal level of success.

“I would like to thank him for all he has given us and I wish Ange and his family the very best for the future in everything they do.

“Of course, we wanted Ange to stay with us at Celtic and while there is real disappointment that we are losing him, he has decided he wants to look at a new challenge, which we respect.

“As Treble-winning champions, the Club looks ahead with confidence to the future, with many exciting opportunities ahead. The Club appreciates the tremendous support from Celtic fans this season and we will continue to build from this position of unity and strength.”

Ange Postecoglou said: “I would like to sincerely thank everyone at the Club for everything they have given me. In particular, Dermot, Peter and Michael and the Celtic Board have shown me tremendous support in every aspect of my time at Celtic and I will forever be grateful for this.

"They brought me to the Club and I have worked so closely and so well with them for the past two years, I will always have a special relationship with them.

“They wanted me to extend my time at Celtic and while I am so respectful and understanding of their position, a new opportunity has been presented to me and it is one which I wanted to explore.

“It was an honour to be asked to be Celtic manager and during my two years I have given everything I have to deliver success to our supporters. Culminating in the Treble at the weekend, my players and backroom team have been brilliant for me on this journey.

"They have given us all some fantastic moments through their energy and effort, creating real quality, winning football.

“Our supporters have been magnificent to me and I thank them for the way they have embraced me during the past two years. My ambition was always to give our fans a team they could be proud of, a team people talked about and I think we have achieved that.

“Celtic is a phenomenal football club, and so much more - and I will forever be a supporter of this great institution. I wish everyone connected with Celtic nothing but continued success.”

Peter Lawwell, Celtic Chairman added: “Against any measure, Ange has delivered a fantastic level of success to Celtic and we thank him for his brilliant contribution to the Club during the past two years.

“We were delighted to bring Ange to Celtic. He is a special manager who has had success wherever he has been and someone who brought to the club attacking, stylish and winning football in the best traditions of Celtic.

“Of course, we are disappointed that Ange has decided to leave the Club, and we did all we could to keep him with us well into the future, but he wanted to take this new opportunity and we wish Ange well in this and everything else he does.

“Now our focus is very much on ensuring we move forward positively and do all we can to ensure that we maintain our dominant position in Scottish football and also prepare for the exciting European challenges which lie ahead.”

Celtic Captain Callum McGregor added: “It has been great to work with the gaffer over the past two seasons and to achieve the success that we have, especially achieving yet another Treble at the weekend.

“In fact, to win five out of six domestic trophies is a tremendous achievement and that is testament to the real focus and relentlessness of the manager, the players and our whole backroom team who have all worked so hard.

“I thank all our supporters again for what they have given us this year. The scenes at Hampden and Celtic Park, when we celebrated our success together will stay with me forever.

“We have delivered something very special to our fans and done it, under the manager’s direction by playing an exciting and attractive brand of football. As all the players do, I wish Ange great success in his next challenge.

“We move on ourselves to our own challenges too. Our performances this season mean we will take our place deservedly in the Champions League and we can’t wait for it.

"It will be brilliant to have these great nights back at Celtic Park and I am sure our fans are looking forward to experiencing this again, as well as watching us striving to defend all our domestic titles.

“The players will enjoy a well-earned break and when we return we will get right behind the new manager, we will be united and, as ever, will do all we can to bring our fans continued success.”

 

He just didn't wanna stay here and I honestly believe the board had been trying for quite a while to get him to commit. He just wasn't interested, even before Spurs as he already had his mind and foot out the door..

Seen his statement and whatever mate..

 

No toys out the pram from me good luck to the guy. I’ve already said it’s great money and a great opportunity. Also if you think talks hadn’t already taken place before the weekend I’ve got some magic beans for sale you might be interested in.

 

I’m absolutely gutted Ange is leaving
As an Aussie who always had a soft spot for Celtic, it’s given me great pleasure actively supporting Celtic over the last 2 years. I will definitely be watching as many Celtic games as possible in the future, with my Kyogo jersey on.
Now to follow Ange to the Spurs fan forums
