Please fuck off you boring cunt.
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
Zoned out after the first paragraph when you brought up spurs lack of trophies.
If spurs were in the Scottish Disney division they'd be winning trophies every season two.
The only measure for how good a Scottish team actually is, is in European football.
So when was the last time Celtic made it to the quarter final stage of any European competition in the last decade? How many times if ever have Celtic made it out of the group stage of the champions league that's even if you qualify against the champions of Denmark or some other nonsense.
Do not compare Spurs and Celtic, we operate in a totally different dimension
Let me explain something to you...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.

Edit
It's perfectly fine for a Spurs supporter to register here and say we're a bag of shite.
It is definitely NOT okay for the supporter of another club to register here and tell us we're a bag of shite. There is a difference.
So please fuck off. you little cunt. I think you'll find we won the Walter Tull Memorial Cup against you, or someone just like you.
Get back in yer cave.
Having lived up thier for a while it's more the rest of the country that wants them to join the prem however, there is an agreement that they would never get past the championship...
Foul voted. You've only registered here to spread discord amongst friends.
This is a nice forum - it's Spurs Community you need, if you want aggro.
Rubbish, they'd end up getting better players etc over time.
I hate this attitude so much.
These Celtic cunts come on here pretending to do it purely for a friendly chat about this managerial appointment but they can't keep it up for more than 5 minutes before the mask slips. So fucking predictable.
Shut up you boring twat. Do you really think you've offered anything of intellectual or football merit at any time.
Where you the shit kid who got picked last, "oops sorry goat fucker we'll take a traffic cone instead" actually are you still that kid or is true that you spend the rest of your internet time watching Phillip Scofield videos?
If only you had a personality you might be able to go to games but .. you fucking don't, you just have your crumbling internet persona and the other ones you make up for support.
Go choke your chicken to wham you spammer wannabe.
Fuck sake, another name change? Are you in the witness protection program?
You wait until the 4th November - I've got a great one lined up. Then, June '24's one will be a small improvement/tweak on November's.
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
I wonder if we'd become the SPL's lowest net spenders
Really why? They would not be winning anything? They would not be in Europe? Where would this miraculous money come from to afford them new players? The fact they get fucked in Europe against Bodo glint or whoever suggests they'd struggle and financially and they'd be worse off!
They have a lot of supporters.
Do you think you have? At least Goat offers a bit of perving occasionally.
Hehe and that translates how? If they were in the championship do you think they would be winning every week? Nah so they wouldnt be selling out like they do against Motherwell or Dundee...
*Were.
You’re welcome.
If brains were gold, you’d be fucking homeless. Now shut up.
Yes they would, anyway don't you remember when they beat a very good Man Utd in the champions league?
You got something right, well done.*Were.
You’re welcome.
Thanks.
Still waiting for you to do the same. I suspect we’ll have a long wait!
