Well the Aussies are up there with the technologies and science applied to the sports they compete in …. Which is numerous cos they’re quite a sporty bunch
So he shouldn’t be lacking in networks to tap into for the athletic training
Football training… I’ve read he’s better than Guardiola but this remains unknown because Aussie coaches aren’t respected in Europe
And Scotland isn’t respected in Europe
So he’s a big brilliant secret
Oh right..Well there's no point. As we have his position filled already on our coaching staff.....'Yes man teachers pet'
You reckon he knows of a decent physio dept?
I wouldn't doubt that. A bit too hands on on things he is not an expert in. I doubt that is the case now though. It's looking like the structure being put in place and the emphasis we want to place on analytics will completely remove him from any of these decisions. Fingers crossed.
I dream of two minutes…..
Probably by not thrashing them to an inch of their life on tour doing a thousand lengths of a football pitch in bloody hot weather in front of the world's media and embarrassing them in the process!
This is one area that I wish the club took over and didn't rely on whichever manager it hired. Being in top physical condition and training in such a way so as to minimize injuries should be the purview of the club. There should be a whole fucking department built around that that does nothing else but continuously improve conditioning and look to bring in all the latest technology and training methods.
Any manager that comes in would then find a super fit squad of players and would be able to focus on the tactics rather than also having to get them physically ready. Maybe tweak things a bit, but that's about it. Club should be responsible for 90% of the players' fitness and manager for the remaining 10%. It's a no-brainer.
£27m midfielder has decided he doesn't want to play for Tottenham next season - journalist
'The ship has sailed'
Journalist Matt Law has suggested that Giovani Lo Celso has little desire to return to Tottenham Hotspur following his time out on loan this past season.
Law was speaking on Last Word On Spurs as Tottenham prepare for a pivotal transfer window.
Giovani Lo Celso is one of the players with a question mark hanging over him. The Argentinian has spent most of the last 18 months on loan with Villarreal after struggling to impress Antonio Conte.
Of course, Conte has now moved on and been replaced by Ange Postecoglou. So there may be a number of players who are about to be handed a clean slate by the Australian.
Lo Celso not keen on Tottenham return
But Law does not expect Lo Celso to be one of those who sticks around – with the player keen to move on over the next few weeks.
“I think Lo Celso will go and I think he’s had a good loan so they will get some decent money back on Lo Celso, so that makes sense,” he told Last Word On Spurs.
“I don’t think they see him really doing anything at Spurs and from what I am told he doesn’t really want to come back to Spurs. I think the ship has sailed.”
It is going to be tough for Tottenham to recoup anything like the £27.2 million they paid to bring the 27-year-old to North London. Unfortunately, he has only shown glimpses of being that player during his time with Spurs.
There may be takers for him over the coming months. Reports from the Daily Mail have previously claimed that Unai Emery is interested in taking Lo Celso to Aston Villa after managing him at Villarreal.
Obviously, it would not be ideal to sell the midfielder to a Premier League rival. But an English side are surely more likely to be able to offer a fee Tottenham are happy with.
With Postecoglou at the helm, there is always a chance that there will be a few surprises amongst the squad regarding who features prominently next year.
But it does seem that it is going to take quite the turnaround for Lo Celso to be involved with Spurs at the start of the new season.
Fair enough question, which was also raised by the Celtic fans in Ange's first season as there were a few soft tissue injuries. Especially Kyogo.
Not sure of the answer but he does train them hard and expects the players to be unrelenting - gets the shits if they take too long taking throw ins and corners because he wants his team's superior fitness to count. Celtic scored a ton of goals in teh last five minutes of halves.
There is a cost though if the team is too old - you'll note he mainly buys youngsters.
Why don't you make a poll about it?
I will be his number 1 fan if he completely banish fan favourite Skipp from the first team.
PEH, Dier and Davies should be among the first ones to go.

-less nearly every game last season
He doesn't seem to be as good a player as he was prior to his injury.
I’d be willing to give most of the team a clean slate (excluding some obvious cloggers) and see what Ange can’t get out of them.
One consistent comment I hear is that he doesn’t tolerate players that don’t fit or don’t work.
I think we could see several players we’ve written off flourish with some confidence and the right system
