That's why I didn't say they are a much bigger club. I said they are a bigger club in a much bigger league.
And Spurs are only a bigger club BECAUSE they are in much a bigger league.
There is no denying that Spurs can attract bigger and better players than Celtic can, and there's no shame in accepting that.
Fair enough.
Saw this on a Reddit post. Encouraging for sure
I've been a Celtic season ticket holder for over 20 years and I have never enjoyed watching the team play more than I have in the last season and a half. You could argue that we've had better players in the past - Larsson was a standout, of course - but Ange coaches a style of play that is just a joy to watch.
I know there's a lot of scepticism in England about the quality of Scottish football and whether he's able to adapt to playing the oil-billionaire teams down there, but Ange is no fool. He'll have you playing football that's great to watch but will also adapt to the opposition. You'll likely concede some goals early on in his tenure where you'll think he's being naive in his approach, but that's just a function of him building the players confidence by letting them make mistakes. By the start of next year, you'll love him.
You'll also enjoy his no-nonsense approach to dealing with the media. Enjoy the ride.

Do they have to make everything about them? It’s like that place has a collective mental disorder.
| Ange Postecoglou:"Being Australian, I sometimes feel I'll never walk into a dressing room and get that instant credibility because of where I'm from, but that's fine.
Even in Australia, where I've had success, I never assumed that people would follow me because of who I am. I knew that I'd get buy-in if I could provide clarity, if I could put the right picture in people's minds. I've been able to do that. It doesn't scare me. It's who I am."
Still have to beat India first!!!! HahahaGreat, so now our site is going to be infested with Aussie 'soccer' experts and just in time for the Ashes as well.
All this waffling about clean slates and players with the new manager obviously isn't anything to do with ENIC not wanting to spend lots of money on replacing them and no one wanting to buy them of course...
There is no way in hell that our preseason tour in Australia had anything to do with his eventual appointment, but it is an unexpected blessing - you can bet Ange will get an amazing reception by the fans and locals over there.
Get the positive vibes early.
Get the positive vibes early.
not to get into a dick measuring contest but do you think if you was in the premier league you would be a bigger club? and if so why?
Starting to feel really positive about this appointment after reading some of the reports.
Wasn’t my first choice but genuinely feel that he’s a better fit than others we were linked with JN, Enrique and Rodgers. I think Ange will be good at bringing the team together again, something that’s been missing post Poch.

Got to give the new guy a chance.
Comes in fresh & has done well at all clubs.
Would people have preferred Brendan?

Ange: Sometimes I find myself going to a dark place
Reporter: Your mean where you're feeling low and mentally fragile?
Ange: Nah I mean a room where the lights are turned off
I don't think Mason's the type to do a Sherwood and try to cause shit for the manager, it would be quite a good education for him to learn under Postecoglou as well, and help implement his methods in the academy.
But I also think at some point Mason needs to get out and do some first team coaching somewhere to prove he can cope with the real pressure of a proper job, not one with little pressure like the job he's done for us.
He’s also still so young.
I know there are a few baby faced managers about, but I think we forget that Mason should still be playing the game rather than managing a team.
