It says "follow his instructions." And it is implied they have to give everything on the pitch. I doubt he will let anyone off for not trying or not pulling in the same direction as everyone else.
Well he’s here now, so for that reason alone he gets my 100% support.
If anyone is underwhelmed, OK. But at this stage there’s no mileage whatsoever in moaning about it. It’s not going to change anything—in the short term at least. We might have concerns or misgivings over his top flight experience, or believe there were better qualified or more suitable managers available, but again, he’s here now so we must back him. I really don’t believe he’s another Nuno.
I just have two worries in the main. One, that we as fans will back him but not sure I trust Levy to do the same. I hope I’m wrong and maybe with an appointment of a decent football director Levy steps away a bit, but I can’t see it somehow, particularly the way he’s referencing the academy so early on as if to say, little money to spare on new signings Ange, so you better make do.
Two, if everything we see and hear is to be believed, there’s a lot wrong behind the scenes i.e. players committees, lack of motivation, poor culture, apathy etc. and that’s a lot for Ange to sort out, as well as get results on the field. I genuinely fear that if results aren’t startling at first, some fans won’t appreciate how much he has to do and he won’t be given the time to turn it around. It could easily get nasty quite quickly, he walks or Levy gets rid, and we’re back to square one for the rinse and repeat. Apart from that, all’s good.

Bookmarked this post.
You'll never sing that.
How dare you with the name of Ledders even mention Maguire , admittedly with a negative connotation. I cannot accept seeing Ledders and Maguire together no matter the circumstance, it is sacrilege
Ange only has control of around 30 staff. The systematic lack of motivation, apathy and shit culture emanates from the top….. and that bald megalomaniac controls all of this across all staff so unless he resigns, we are stuck in this cycle and there’s only so much Ange can influence.
Postecoglou's win percentage at Celtic was better than Brendan Rodgers.
That is the extent of my enthusiasm.
That is the extent of my enthusiasm.
In fairness last 2 were at biggest/richest clubs in their league at time.
Mourinho won conference league after spending 140 mil.
I never said our record was great at trophies. Id rather win nothing at least being entertained that win nothing than the shite served up.
Shows just how powerful that prick at the top is.
He even pulls the wool over fans eyes.
Good - more than happy to be wrong.
I want to be wrong.
i dont think he has too. a lot of fans are clueless. took years for them to understand winks was shit, was singing deles name 3 years too long and still sing i love eric dier!
Hes talking about comparing celtic to clubs of equal size not pub teams then compares celtic to real madrid and city. Hmmm
I hope Ange is going to be a bit more successful at Spurs (manager wise, not as a player, obvs!).
Good - you normally are!!
About what?
You're not still trying to tell anyone Winks is a footballer, are you?
It would be nice if he could help out with maintaining the go karts every now & again though, wouldn't it? Only if he's at a loose end.
Looks like he'll get his No2 as reported too

John Kennedy 'tells Celtic he wants to leave' and join Ange at Tottenham
Kennedy is highly regarded as a coach at the Hoops

J League is also a completely different league to when they managed there and so is Japanese Soccer Culture. When they both managed in Japan Baseball was the runaway winner in the countries most favoured sport football has caught up massively over the last 20 years.I hope Ange is going to be a bit more successful at Spurs (manager wise, not as a player, obvs!).
