I agree as you only really have to beat Rangers and you are certs to win a trophy or two.

Rodgers was a better manager for Celtic yet they won't accept that for the way he left them.

I think Ange was better than Rodgers, he had a great first season but I think the bottom of it was falling out when he was on his way, an incredible coach I don’t think he signs well teams seem to go backwards the more chance he has to recruit.

Are all their Japanese players on long contracts? I can see them getting a bit frustrated if AP jumps ship. I can certainly see Kyogo heading south but I don’t know about the others.

Why would the Japanese players be any different to the other players on Celtics books that signed under Ange? Is it unusual for managers to change jobs in Japan?

Give me £50 million to spend and i wouldn't be far away.

Spending money helps but it doesn't always guarantee success . Neil Lennon spent over 30 million in his last term on players like Ajeti , barkas, Kilmala and Bolingoli . What Ange has done is went into markets he knows and picked up quality players at good prices. Ange postecoglou is a top Manager and has transformed Celtic from a team you'd fancy your chances against to one your hoping not to get a doing from . Think there's a lot more to it than just spending money.

Helps having money though... And in this crappy league, where only two teams have any, I would bet a large amount of it on Since452 leading his team to at least runner's up spot, and probably picking up a cup along the way.

Celtic fan in work saying Rodgers has been offered the Celtic job and he's expecting both Postecoglu leaving and Rodgers appointment to happen within a day or two. Could all be nonsense mind you, but Rodgers back to Celtic makes sense.

***Sylar*** · 05-06-2023 03:10 PM

There was noise last week Rodgers had recently bought a house in Glasgow. Usual 'fitba forum' rumour nonsense, but maybe there was some value to it.

Either way, thank **** Ange is away. A very good tactician with an eye for quality players, who (let's be honest) has been pretty untouchable since arriving in Scotland.

Hope he takes some of the quality players he's signed with him, and that this weakens Celtc for next season.

Definitely money helps and even if Since 452 spent £50 million badly he should easily finish 2nd and have a chance of a cup though lennon was in this position also and he got pushed out the door . A string of bad results and even 2nd place wouldn't save your job as winning the league is the primary goal at Celtic.

It's much the same at Sevco with Beale in charge . Will the hordes be a happy with a cup and 2nd place finish next season ? Will they gave him another season after that ? If they do and he fails again he's toast imo that's if they give him time of course in the first place .

Tom English just been on Radio 5 saying it’s a fine deal so Celtc will be on the look for another manager. Maybe Pep fancies it….

Which kind of sums up the absolutely ridiculous money these guys are on.

Will be interesting to see if he tries to take anyone? Hatate and Kyogo obvious ones. Possible they may have an epl clause in their contracts. Maybe Ange did also.

Glasgow times reporting £5 million compensation agreed . And Ange has agreed terms with spurs . The Sun saying ( I know ) spurs want kyogo and fee getting talked about is £20 million . Skysports article.

The compensation is a lot higher than I’d have thought, a 12 month-rolling contract would pay
Wonder if he’s taking any of his backroom staff with him

I’d have thought it would have been Harry Kewell he’d have wanted, as he brought him in

I'm loving Celtic's fans reaction to this.

Not so long ago Kennedy was everything wrong with the club. His continued presence was proof that Lawell lacked the same ambition as Rodgers. He was the common denominator when Lennon ****ed 10 in a row. He was around when Delia huffed and puffed to the easiest league titles they will ever win and failed to ever get a treble.

Now Ange wants to take him to Spurs it's ripping the backroom staff away, denying them continuity and proof Ange is a snake.

Self entitled half wits.

***Carheenlea*** · 05-06-2023 05:06 PM

With compensation such as £5M it makes managerial change for Celtic much less of an upheaval than it can be for the rest of us.

Just another advantage they hold over us. Can basically hand pick who they want in the door next without any fuss.

***JohnM1875*** · 05-06-2023 05:09 PM

Rodgers 'not interested' in Celtic return apparently. Be hilarious if they end up with Lennon again.

Heard it from someone who would know. Media were reporting it this morning too.

Not doubting you, just haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere
Wasn’t Kennedy not linked as being Naismith’s assistant

It's the first time Ange has ever taken backroom staff with him somewhere else too apparently.

Kennedy was rumoured to be wanted as Hearts next manager, we tried for him a few seasons ago also.

**ekhibee** · 05-06-2023 05:27 PM

Rodgers and Jesse Marshe being quoted on Sky Sports News as the 2 favourites for the Celtic job.

Celtic apparently don't want to lose Kennedy though wither they hang on to him or not is another matter . I will be sorry to see Ange go tbh .

I'd probably spend the whole £50 million on Josh Doig just to give Hibs the sell-on though so maybe not 😉

Pray for Celtic fans this evening as they grapple with the shocking realisation that they're not the pinnacle of the footballing world, as they imagined. And for the Scottish Media.

The whole of Scotland is in shock and mourning. #prayforceltic

Aye, a lot of them seem to have taken the hump when I tweeted the club wishing Ange all the best at a bigger and better club. I think the "seethe" is high amongst them, glorious fun

I find it hard to believe any Celtic is genuinely bewildered that he would leave them for Spurs. Celtic are a gigantic overfed fish in a tiny pond. Being better than Rangers is the only serious challenge the job presents. For a good, ambitious manager it's not much more than a useful stepping stone to bigger challenges.
