MungoChutney Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I don't think there's any doubt if Tottenham come in that Ange would leave, more so for the challenge than the money. For that reason, he'd go with best wishes unlike Rodgers who was looking for any bigger salary job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted May 29, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 29, 2023 It'd definitely be a far cry from managing the one decent team in what's usually at best a two horse race. It's almost 40 years since a team that wasn't Celtic or Rangers won that league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but he's won the title in Australia and Japan too as well as winning the Asian cup and managing the Socceroos at the World Cup. He's not a rookie or low level coach by any means.

Mr_Danger Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I wouldn’t dismiss him leaving Celtic for Leicester as a salary job. That Leicester job was a much bigger job than the Celtic one. Winning the FA Cup with them is easily his biggest accomplishment in management. It just so happens that Leicester’s finances turned to shit and players see through Rodgers corpo plastic Pep schtick after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, he must be at least curious as to how he'd fare against the top managers in the game. If he has any ambition, that is. If I was an outsider watching a similar situation involving the manager of say Dinamo Zagreb or HJK Helsinki then yes, absolutely. However, as a Celtic man, Ange brings us success, seems a terrific man and brings an outstandingly entertaining brand of football, and so because of that personal connection, I want him at Celtic Park forever. It's inevitable he will go eventually though. As you say, he's a man of high ambitions and clearly very very good at this football managing game so it's only a matter of time until a team with financially more to offer comes calling.

Geraint Pillock vibes there. A reference probably only Butch will get. And it certainly would be a challenge. Imagine the brief at Spurs! Kane's going to leave, Son's going to leave, keeper and the back 4/5 all need replacing and usually the signings are who the director of football fancies/can get, regardless of what the manager actually wants. Aside from keeping Hojbjerg and Bentancur, I have no idea what our team might look like next year. Except I'm fairly confident Champions League is off the table for the next couple of years at least - last season was the Dead Cat Bounce, off some momentum that picking up Bentancur and Kulusevski gave us and the Arsenal falling apart in the last couple of weeks. Between Arsenal, City, United, Liverpool, Newcastle and a Chelsea that will no doubt come back, we're going to be best of the rest if we're lucky.

David Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Ange would just replace the underachievers who are leaving Spurs with Japanese players who will work twice as hard and run twice as far for a fraction of the budget. Not sure that will be enough to win them anything, but the fans will at least be entertained and see a team of professionals who put in the graft.

David Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) Sell Kane to United for £100 million and replace him with Kyogo from Celtic, and the talismanic Budget Bergkamp Kevin Van Veen from Motherwell. Kyogo will cost about £12 million, and you can get Van Veen for between £40 - £50 million if you ask nicely, and still have money left over to buy the entire J-League. Simple.

Paid Members air_raid Posted May 30, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 30, 2023 Would be about time we had something back for Lineker. Left because he felt like his powers were waning having "only" managed 28 goals in 35 games in his last season in the First Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted May 31, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) Posted this in the predictions thread but if Mark Field (AKA FC Tomiyasewy) can drop me a PM, he has won the coveted Official FPL UKFF 'Chippy Tea League' - and thus not only has he won the league, but also as per I promise I made earlier in the season, he's won a free chippy tea on me 👍 Edited May 31, 2023 by Fatty Facesitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
