I’m torn. On the one hand, he did a brilliant job with Maccabi Tel Aviv, on the other hand, much as I enjoyed him as a player, he has always struck me as a bit of a knob.

I wonder if Spurs will have a second go at getting John Kennedy in from Celtic. Some interesting insights from Ange in the Football London article.
John Kennedy has 'vital role' in Ange Postecoglou Spurs plan if he exits Celtic

Ange will shake that out of him if he is hired!
If he can understand him. Mate.
...yes, but he's OUR knob!
Not sure how he was a knob? He always struck me as being down to earth with that typical Irish spirit. His best club football years were with us as well. I’d rather have him as our attacking coach than mason.
We deal with all kinds down here mate!
I was never convinced Keane was our anything bloke always had one eye on whatever he could get, Iirc. Wasn't he the man with twenty boy hood clubs? I think this appointment is incredibly important I'd quite like some serious top level experience.
He used to hide behind the post when opposition took a goal kick. He never once attempted to head a ball and constantly tried wanky little flicks that didn’t come off. He was an exciting revelation when he first joined and we were poor but we quickly outgrew him. Berba and Kanouté were levels above. I hated Keane and didn’t really rate Defoe

He had a cracking celebration though so you know, swings and roundabouts.
Haha just reading back through this thread and I knew people were gonna be upset at Ange for doing punditry at the Euro's
Of course they were. There's a (thankfully) small subset of 'fans' on here who want any excuse to have a pop at Ange.
I just laugh at those nuggets tbh.
Keane was good when he first came, but those dummies and flicks when he was back to goal really started to grate. Became scared of getting contact from behind so just coughed up the ball doing stupid shit like that. Was happy Liverpool came in for him personally. Agree on the others as well.
Always preferred Defoe of the 2 strikers. Somehow Keane would always start when he was fit though.
Imagine us have the choice of picking one of those two to play up front in the current team though, we’d love it. Although Defoe would probably shade it for me and he’d start (when onside).
Always prefered Keane. Thought he offered more and formed good partnerships with Sheringham, Kanoute and especially Berbatov. Defoe was a great finisher but always seemed to start the season on fire before tailing off in the winter. The sad fact is either would walk into our current team.
Just spent the last two weeks surrounded by Aussies mate.
