The thing that intrigues me most about Ange is that he doesn't have a backroom staff - everyone that he has worked with at Celtic was already there, so wondering how he will build that out.

Always amazed be how managers got away with that, wouldn't work in most other business.

You're Scott Munn. You just got hired by one of the 10 richest clubs in the world. Your first task is to fill the most key position at the club: manager. And the first thing you think about is to go for "one of your mates," rather than who is the best fit? Seriously? That's lazy journalist stuff right there.

Did it ever occur to you that Ange may actually fit the bill and the fact that him and Munn are both Australian is just a coincidence?

The alternative is that he genuinely knows no one better and Ange is his choice because he's all Munn knows / has easy access to.

Hiring people you've worked with or known before isn't unusual, and when you're starting out somewhere, even more so. The problem for us is Munn is an absolute nobody in European football - he has never worked in Europe, his experience is in Australia and China.

So if he goes down that route, he'll be drawing on his Australia connections to get us someone - likely Ange. And that, as we have discussed before, is a large gamble at the least.

Still don't get the point of the guy, tbh. You want your men at the top well connected, in the know in domestic, European and world football, with a large rolodex of people to call. To replace the abysmal Daniel Levy, we got in a guy whose career was in China and Australia. Dunno how we identified him, but if he ends up appointing Postecoglou, it is not a promising sign as to his competence, imo.
 
I thing it’s a safe assumption that he probably knows at least as much as those posting random names on here and he might even have like a whole department to help him draw up a shortlist.



Or as most on here seem to think, it could just be him and Danny boy with a big bag of coke pick names out the air.

This explains a lot of the tone of your recent posts. You are a spurs fan no doubt but your sentiment at times is from a completely different angle ... not bad or good just different. Not going to knock anyone for having an opinion, I just disagree with a lot of your posts.

I think what you’re trying to say is that my needs and wants as a Spurs fan are different than those of someone who goes to the stadium at least semi-regularly?

I haven't extensively followed the thread so my bad if it's been said before but Ange seems like the manager that could come in to a lower PL team and have us thinking "We definitely should have taken a chance on him" a la De Zerbi.

Exactly this.

This is truly hilarious.

”It's easier in this part of the world to say 'I love football and I want a career in it' and then there's the path for you. In Australia every step you take you've got to earn. I've had to do that as a manager even more so. All along the way I simply refuse to yield to anybody or feel inferior to anybody, just because I was born on the other side of the world.

Love this. Many on this board aren’t able to understand it. Many on this board are guilty of it. Even just being a supporter is hard; you’re often labelled as “not a real fan” or “a tourist” or other insulting terms.
 
Ange’s last game today before he becomes our new Head Coach.

Presumably we don’t need to pay Celtic any compensation as I believe Ange has always worked on a 1 year rolling contract with them.

He brings no coaching staff which is intriguing so I guess Mason could end up being our no 2. Any idea how many coaches he will want appointed? Probably a smaller team than what Conte had.

Just need the new Head of Recruitment now and on we roll.

Hopefully the funds we have saved on this appointment helps with the pot needed for players.

The target for next season should be Europa League qualification via the league and with some luck maybe win a domestic cup.

Beyond that I am hoping for a real transformation in playing style, culture and togetherness from the fans.

Not in the slightest, you are in the majority of football fans sitting in armchairs ... I was more taking about you being somewhat aggressive in defending posti and championing him.

One year rolling contract would mean he always has a year left on his contract

I think he’s the best candidate and have done for a while. Nothing more than that.

We'll have Mason and Chris Powell to mentor him while he learns the ropes of top level football
 
It's a very big step for ange... I consider him a higher risk than Nuno. It's very different trying to motivate top paid professional sportsmen.

It's not just about understanding how to play nice football. Tactics against coaches and players at another level, and more teams to study compared to the Scottish league.

His experience though long in Scotland, still falls short for a club that should be in Europe . He will be a miracle man if he takes us into Europe - which is yet another learning experience.

As I’ve already explained whilst enic are the owners we have to find someone who can work within the constraints enic put on the club, someone who is prepared to work within those constraints medium to long term, someone who whilst working within those constraints may be able to elevate and overachieve.

There are not many that fit that bill, enic identified a handful and all but Ange they have fallen by the wayside.

There is no point people continuously whinging about it, at least shout it at the gods as its a little tedious for the rest of us hearing it each day.

Chris Powell doesn’t work at the club anymore
I was talking to him at Villa away
And if he needs to learns the ropes then he js not the guy
TBF I think your comment is completely unreasonable about him
He was under pressure at Celtic and has dealt with thag
