You mean when the club decides not to pursue him hours before he rules himself out
Listen, I'm not going to argue the SPL is a far far shot from the Premiership, but I'd be genuinely interested in Celtic v Spurs stats in Europe since 2000 for win/draw/lost, all competitions. I don't think Ange is ready for a job like Spurs (at present), but to disrespect Celtic as if Spurs are world beaters, having won ONE trophy since 2000, is a bit unfair and ridiculous.
I'm a Celtic fan and signed up thru genuine interest in Spurs fans opinions seeing as it's our manager and as I'm not a Spurs fan, I'll be respectful of your forum. I'm giving my genuine opinion on his readiness for a team like yours, of which I think he's knocked it off to be considered so early and unexpectedly given his experience and achievements (which btw, have been very good, even if you turn your nose up at our league or Japan).
My opinion is he's more suited to a mid table Premiership outfit. That way he could build a team into his attacking philosophy without the added pressure of trying to stay in the top six.
Now, as I'm not a Spurs fan, I've no idea what the majority fanbase mindset is on your current standing in the footballing world. In Scotland where like anywhere outside England, there's lots of interest in all EPL matches and not one single team, Spurs aren't considered on the level of Liverpool, Man C, Man U, Chelsea and Woolwich. I say that not as a dig. A lot of football fans up here think the "team Kane plays for and the team Bale played for", before thinking of "top six" when thinking of Spurs. You're seen as a good team who've punched above your weight and were unlucky that one time in the Champions League.
Should the fanbase think you're a top six club, challenging for the title... I think Ange is a project pick that could see you struggle to make that so. His philosophy took a bit of time for players to adapt to up here, but he was lucky we were already stronger than other teams and I'll say it, Rangers were a mess and only won the season before because of Neil Lennon dropping the ball and COVID keeping fans away from stadiums, which played into Rangers hands. Their fans are pretty toxic with criticism, so the players had that off their backs. It was no shock they regressed the very next season and after very poor transfer activity, lost to Ange... Who spent well and far greater.
If your fanbase thinks getting into the top six is a bonus and you're playing to be in the top ten, maybe Ange will work out. His football can be a joy to watch, but he is stubborn in the formation and match management, which cost us in Europe. Plus injuries to key players have left us playing really bland football. Tho playing up against a ten man defence, as was the case today in the final, it's hard to break the lines.
Anyway, if he goes, he'll get more money, probably a bigger transfer kitty and the attraction of a better league. Spurs can be a decent team, but tbf, it's the league that's the attraction. I think Rodgers would be more suited to you. More experience definitely in the EPL and had success with a team nobody expected to win the league. Also has experience at a bigger side in Liverpool.
Editnly to correct one misplaced word
Fuck off with that Rodgers shite.
And you can keep him, he might look like a big deal in your shitty league but in England, Second Tier at best.

"Ryan Mason has always made the most sense , he's Tottnum fru and fru"If he signs a new deal and turns us down, I'm booking a day off work to enjoy this forum
Fucking carnage
"Give him a chance , the club knows what it's doing"
"Slot , Nagelsmann and postecoglou wouldn't have got it , Mason gets it"
"I'd argue a manager isn't really that important in the grand scheme of things but don't let that ruin the narrative"
"Hiring a manager isn't like popping to the corner shop for a pint of milk , you know"
"Postecoglou was clearly a smokescreen for a much better candidate"
"Nagelsmann is being worked on in the background"

Still expecting there to be a snag with Poste.If he signs a new deal and turns us down, I'm booking a day off work to enjoy this forum
Fucking carnage
My money is on Luis Enrique or last ditch go at Nagelsmann .
Any of the 3, work but only with a serious structure in place underneath them.
Wanting him and him being someone who will unite the club, fans, team are two different things.
Conte didn't unite anything. He was with one foot out the door since day 1.
When he first arrived he did mate,
That first stretch he was like a tiger pacing the touch line and willed us to beat woolwich to 4th.
Was only after the summer transfer window he started talking us down and sulking
Where is Kosher Kid tonight, I want to know who he thinks we will get
The cup he won today equals your trophy haul since the turn of the century
- Peace Cup (Korea) Winners: 2005
- Vodacom Challenge (South Africa) Winners: 2007
- Feyenoord Jubileum Tournament (Holland) Winners: 2008
- Barclays Asia Trophy (China) Winners: 2009
- International Champions Cup 2018
- Audi Cup 2019
These trophies are all more presitigious than the scottish league and cups.
We should start lobbying Danny to swap places with Celtic, under ENIC we could guarantee we could come at least 2nd every season forever. Maybe even get a few cup runs going
and we could introduce Formula 1 e-karting to Scotland.We should start lobbying Danny to swap places with Celtic, under ENIC we could guarantee we could come at least 2nd every season forever. Maybe even get a few cup runs going
Don’t take it out on me because you have no friends.
Not my fault, fella.
Now fuck off back to Woolwich mania. You are a mole on the ass of life.
You should be proud to add those to your 2008 FA Cup.
Edit : Just read it was the other cup you won, the cup the bigger teams put their reserves out for as they don't give two shits about it.
