Your point ic correct except it was the Asia cup (similar to Euros). Remember in this recent World cup, Asian nations best Germany, Spain, Portugal, Denmark and Argentina. The standard of Asian football is pretty good, and Ange won their regional trophy.
Because there is no reason why it won’t work. Having EPL quality players at his disposal means it will work in the EPL.
I totally understand why people are sceptical about appointing Ange but i for one can’t watch the turgid shite we’ve been served up for the last 3 years anymore. If there’s a guy that can come in and make us play quick,aggressive,skillful football that’s pleasing on the eye then I’m all for it. Whether that’s Ange or someone else I don’t really care anymore. I just don’t want to be bored out my skull watching Tottenham play anymore.
Ange Postecoglou will have Daniel Levy eating out of his hand. He knows how to manage CEO’ Chairs and boards.
At least he will know where to get a good Gyros and Souvlaki.
This utter bullshit being trotted out again
I've never once said we should try and sign an Australian player, in fact we've never had one make a senior appearance. No Australian coach outside of Ange would be anywhere near his level. This isn't patriotism, this is appreciation from people who have followed his career. My local side is actually arch rivals with one of his old teams. You can choose to overlook the positives, and frankly I don't think it really matters, he proved a lot a Celtic fans wrong two years ago and he'll prove a lot more people wrong if he's appointed. Spurs make a lot of awful decisions, but this would be a rare time they get it right.
Would of loved Harry Kewell, early Leeds days.
I only knew who Ange was because he'd been mentioned for the US National Team job and I'd found him an intriguing candidate.
I'm SACRIFICING for you people.
That era we were actually crawling with great players, shame injuries hurt him. He's actually on Ange's staff at Celtic now.
Once all the targets we might have been after have secured new contracts or moved elsewhere - nice.
Here's Postecoglou's 'Roarcelona' pulling off the most remarkable Grand Final win in history, coming from 2-0 down in extra-time
And here's a better example of the sort of football they played
And here's a better example of the sort of football they played
And that’s despite Ange being the one who stopped selecting him for the national team
I don't think you can act like someone is a proven commodity when everything they've done of note has occurred in the SPL within the last 2 years. But -
But our club's situation is what it is. Few people will work with Daniel Levy, and he won't pay what it costs to recruit and back a top candidate. As such, we can't hire someone of the caliber and profile of a Conte or Mourinho as would be fitting of a top club, and if we did it wouldn't work.
Our best hope in the end might be to take a dart throw at someone who is lesser known but may be an up and comer, and hope that they can work out improving the team over several years by developing young players without much investment.
It's a more reasonable choice than Levy sitting someone down and telling him to get us in the CL with Kane and Son and an Everton quality team besides.

Mate we all had to watch Eric Dier this season, we're all in the same boat.
I’ll give you that one.
If he becomes our manager, I'd love to hear us sing that after we crush chelsea. Pan to Poch's face looking crestfallen as we re-purpose his great anthem for our new Aussie master, who jumps in front of him and does a Bruce Forsyth pose for the camera.
...but I bet I know who will have sold him the pies.
