Both have better resumes than Pochettino though, right?
No, Poch at Southampton was really, really good.

I wouldn't go quite as far as saying he was the De Zerbi of that moment, but he wasn't far from it. Tactically forward-thinking football squeezing massive performances out of young talent and giving the big PL clubs fits.

He was in fact our second choice behind Van Gaal, but just objectively looking at their standing in that moment, he probably shouldn't have been.
 
You don’t Kane is off. He will either run down his contract or get flogged abroad for £80m or around £100m if it’s United.
This is the risk .

I’m not against Posty as a coach. Makes sense for Brighton.

You need to completely gut this squad for the personalities to match.

Bentancur, Kulu, Son, Kane, Richy, Hojberg, Romero, Perisic ….
These guys are going to be a tough sell for a guy who’s biggest experience so far is the SPL

Could it be Fraser Campbell all over again?

 
Now linked to the non entity from Celtic who is mates with Scott’s mum. Ridiculous
With all due respect, you haven't a clue.

Ange wins everything, everywhere he goes. I'm a Celt from Oz so will be deeply disappointed if he leaves, but will always be interested in his career.

The thing to understand about Ange is that he cut his teeth in salary capped leagues and national teams, both of which come mwith their own limitations on available players.

In a salary capped league, the only man who truly makes a difference is the manager and Ange has proven himself again and again in Australia, and then Japan which is a significantly higher standard. He also took the Oz NT to the World Cup in 2018 and won the Asian Cup in 2015.

In fact, the J League is a better standard than Scotland, in my view, but managing Celtic comes with pressures that will never be experienced in Asia - or most of Europe to be fair.

He was seriously doubted when he went to Celtic but gradually won over the fans with:

- his masterful control of the media
- his deep affinity for the club and the fans
- his deep knowledge of player markets all over the world
- his eye for talent and building a squad
- his capacity to build a successful team culture
- his unrelenting attacking style of play
- his return of Celtic to the winners list in nearly every competition after they'd been left in a total shambles by the previous administration.

On top of all that, he is a lovely human being and you will be very fortunate indeed if he comes to Spurs.

My only concern for Ange in the EPL is that he is relatively inexperienced when it comes to dealing with players and agents on mega salaries and the notorious shenanigans they get up to. It's entirely possible that Ange could be undermined by a cabal of players / agents who dislike his system. He's a very hard taskmaster and Spurs will be the fittest team in the EPL if he has time to impose his system. They have to be fit to play his never stop Angeball game.

Some players won't like that so Ange MUST have the power to get rid or outlast the contracts of dickheads.

If Levy has the courage to invest in a minimum three year project then Spurs will be back in the Champions League within that time.

Having said all that, I want him to stay at Celtic.
 
How do you sell Kane on Postman Coglu?

He’s probably a really good coach to get this far from Australian football but he’s got none of the experience needed to coach a lot of our current squad . Kane especially.
You dont. I doubt any of the names outside Poch and Naglesmann would appeal to him. But after Mourinho and Conte we shouldnt be appointing managers based on Kanes views
