Who?
Wow, one example.
Can't wait for City to nab the Motherwell manager when Pep leaves.
Liverpool enquire if the St. Mirren coach would do them the courtesy of at least speaking with them the day after Klopp fucks off.
There is nothing impressive about the job he's done at Celtic, nothing. Hiring him maybe the biggest mistake Levy has ever made, so perhaps this will accelerate his demise and maybe ENICs. In which case...
Bring on the Fat Aussie!
It sounds like you're only going to have to wait 2/3 more for the manager. As for the DOF, who knows, not in the short term maybe?
2 or 3 days, or 2/3 of 68 days which is another 45 and a bit days
45 days and it will be Brendan Rodgers
I wonder how many Celtic games those slating Ange Postecoglou have actually watched...
You’d think after our own experience with Poch and the job that a relative unknown like De Zerbi has done this season fans would be a bit more willing to give someone like Ange a chance. The manager trying to do a cup double for United today only ever managed in a weak league but so what?
I’ve found the last week quite perplexing, wasn’t expecting the fan reaction to Ange to be this negative.
It’s undoubtedly a risky appointment, but so would any of the other managers that we looked at. There’s a variance in standard between the SPL and de eredivisie, but it’s not like the latter is a top league. If Ange is an 8/10 risk then Slot is a 7.5 in my eyes.
Still maintain that at least our managerial targets this time around are better than they were 2 years ago.
The problem is that we’re also in a way bigger mess than we were previously, which any manager would struggle with.
The difference between the perception of Slot vs Ange has definitely been difficult to understand.
Well that's it, it's off now.
Still think the majority of the fan reaction aimed at Ange is because it's not Nagelsmann and deep down, most of us think the reason it wouldn't be Nagelsmann is because of the things that we'd all like to see change at the club anyway.
They are thinking that Ange represents the Levy choice who will accept Levy and Munn making the calls and be happy to work with a less ambitious transfer spend and wage bill.
Could be they were wrong about Ange but really the frustration isn't for him, it's for the club.
I would find that all much more convincing were it not for the Conte experience we just had.
The club changes or it doesn't. A manager doesn't change the club.
The club is doomed to mediocrity, at best. The reckoning will come to Levy and Lewis' pocketbook. We're looking to hire someone who can make the best of it in the meantime.
I think if we'd been as strongly linked with Ange a few days if not weeks after Conte was sacked, the reaction would be even more negative.
Imo as this has been dragging on for so long now, some fans would be happy with almost anyone seen as half-decent and who believes in 'attacking' football, whatever that truly means.
Seeing as Nagelsmann is still available, he remains my No.1 choice. It's looking very unlikely now out of who's left/been linked, I'd rather have Enrique or even give Mason a shot over someone whose only European experience is at Celtic.
If it's Ange, I hope he does really well and exceeds my low expectations. It's a bit shit though, for one of the top ten richest clubs in the world, based in one of it's great cities, in one of the richest sporting leagues on planet Earth, for us to have to appoint an Aussie.
We're not a cricket or rugby team.

Maybe in the short term but yes no doubt, the culture and problems in the football club will rear their head again, no matter how good the manager is.
Brighton have shown the league how the model can work by replacing their best-ever manager with an even better one and replacing their 3 best plays with even better ones.
🎙| Harry Redknapp on Ange Postecoglou: "I said to a few people I thought he would be a frontrunner. If I was looking for somebody, if I was the chairman of #Tottenham he would be right at the top of my list so it doesn’t surprise me.”
Poch reaching the CL ahead of schedule (his own words) have screwed up the expectations of the fanbase something fierce.
Harry for DOF!!
He'd be as dodgy as Fabio.
We'd find out that he had funnelled money out of the club to an account set up in the name of his dog or something like that.
