We do tie ourselves in knots as a fan base
It's not but it's also hard to get those opportunities when you aren't European so I don't think you can really judge him for that.
So much a Sunday league that his Monaco got to a Euro cup final and semi final?
It was because of the largely untapped quality in the French league that he got so much success at Woolwich. I'm not sure Ange is going to be uncovering many Scottish or Aussie players that will transform our side.
He wouldn’t be hired to do that
I just don’t know why some are written off before even getting a chance, even though you literally have Celtic fans in here saying he’s the best manager they’ve ever had, and some get a free ride
Yes the Scottish league is a worse level but good football is good football wherever you are
Luis Enrique is a known quantity but far from mediocre
Celta was far from Mediocre. He changed that club in a big way
Then let’s hire Rodger’s.
Back to back trebles, unbeaten and 106 points in Scottish football.
I'm not writing him off at all - I'm saying he represents a big gamble.
If he gets it, I'll get behind him and hope he does well. I think I predicted Poch would burn out the squad by his 3rd season in charge and, well, that turned out to be bollocks (it was the middle of the 4th season).
I see your point but the Rodgers hatred is more to do with what a cunt he is
He is a gamble totally agree, but I don’t see many alternatives to a gamble at the moment
Even Enrique is completely untested over here
Ange Postecoglou: Coach Watch - The Coaches' Voice
Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has made a flying start to life as he attempts to wrestle the Scottish Premiership title back from Rangers

Here’s the marketing piece.
They never say anything negative in these but it’s a good read anyway
Yep but I don’t think he would fit. We would need to buy quite a lot of technical player in the same way we need to buy certain types of players for Conte that never arrived.
“we want an attacking manager who plays good football on the front foot”
“No, not that one”.
He is the type of manager we can all get behind if we forget the “manages in Scotland” thing. I’d suggest the pressure of managing Celtic is as big, if not bigger than managing us. The expectations are to win every match. Every single fucking match.
He knows the Asian player market very well, so shirt sales and foreign fuckers taking my tickets boxes ticked.
For what it’s worth, just asked someone I know that is a big part of the Scottish cup final this weekend, unfortunately not on the Celtic side, so that narrows it down a touch and he tells me that Ange is expected to come here, pretty much early next week. However, he also told me Howe was going to Celtic and that fell through, so pinch of salt and all that.

Things change obviously so Howe could have been 95% done.
In regard to Poste he clearly plays the right way (Pep style) it’s whether he can implement it with better players than Celtic have playing against much stronger opposition.
The style of play, the league situation. It’s very similar to the Vincent Kompany debate, you have successful Pepball in a weaker league, can they translate it in the prem playing against the real life Pep.
If he can then great. However I hope the club scout and buy for this style of football and actually stick with it even when Poste is gone.
Our squad is best suited to LE above all the candidates, except maybe Nagelsmann
Aye, that translation of play from Scotland to the Prem is an issue. And to be honest it’s one I’ve doubts about when we say we want the Brighton / Brentford model. Fine to get a top half finish, but can it work at a higher level? Unsure.
But, if Ange is the guy, he’s all good with me.
Until he isn’t……
Potter had the same issue at Brighton as Enrique had with Spain, creating a large amount of chances, with Neil Maupay as his striker.
I'd be very happy with Postecoglou in charge. I'd be happy with Nagelsmann or Potter in charge. I'd be happy with Enrique, though to a lesser degree, but would be hoping that he's as good as those who know more than I about him are saying.
All of the above look to play the game we desire.
Where Potter is concerned, it should be noted that our own players were highly impressed with him after his Brighton took us to the cleaners at the Lane. Something De Zerbi has failed to do both home and away, with a better frontline.
What slow possession play?
We have about three players that can trap and pass a ball
