Diadora Van Basten Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 When he first came on the scene I quite liked him. He was pretty honest even when it didn’t agree with the Celtic narrative. Now I think he’s become a typical Celtic manager and his rallying against VAR and other nonsense he has spouted has put me right off him. Now he is off to Spurs and I just can’t see him being of that level. Leicester went down with a squad valued at £400 million and I can’t see his tactics of signing a few Japanese players being enough for Tottenham in the Premier League.

OTT Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Good. I'll be glad to see the back of him. I don't dislike him, but his team is too dominant. It makes the league look shite. Spurs is a mental move though, the Hibs of the EPL. If Mourinho couldn't turn them round, he's got no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poch could do it, Mourinho couldn’t as his is too big an ego to handle players properly and needs them to worship him. I’m conflicted about it as I’d like Spurs to get a manager who isn’t an optimistic project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauld Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I think he's a genius. It isn't like me to actually like any manager from the OF but I honestly do like the guy for his ability as a manager. Came in and you could see he had certain views that might not go down well with the support. Quickly locked them away and pandered to the support. Got them on side. Knows exactly how to work the transfer market. Built a squad that works exactly to the system he wants to play. You can see he commands the respect of every single player at the club. They play for him and they play for the fans. He's exactly the sort of manager I'd like to see with us. And after all that I think he'll bomb at spurs because they're a basket case and I think any manager going in there is doomed unless they are given license to punt the entire squad and rebuild.

Bring in a couple of decent defenders and a creative midfielder to play next to Bentancur and you’ve got a very good team there.

Hate them with a passion but can’t deny the two OF clubs are bigger than most clubs down there. The PL is the bigger name/brand but Spurs themselves are a nothing club pretending to be a big team, with a trophy haul that rivals the embarrassing numbers by most of the league up here. Doesn’t mean they’re a worse side, or that they don’t have more power due to the finances & playing in a better league, but bigger?

If he goes I think a new manager might struggle to get the same consistency with a squad that is bloated by far too many players from the far east, Ange knew how to get a tune of these players having worked in that part of the world for many years, a new coach will more than likely have a different style of coaching and playing style that hopefully doesn’t suit these style of players.

Bungalow Bill Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Spurs have an impressive stadium, but they’re still Spurs. I can’t see them being in the top 4 again regardless of who is the manager. Ange will be there one year tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangkokHearts Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 He would have been on decent money at Celtic, but he'll get more at Spurs and have the chance to play against the big boys. He's achieved everything he's ever going to in Scotland, and he knows fine well that another abysmal failure in the CL awaits. Leaving when his stock is high and to Spurs, a difficult job at a club with problems. If he doesn't have success there it won't really affect his career longer term, as long as he doesn't mess up too badly. Very clever move on his part.

StirlingJambo Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Kane will be off then. He likes to come deep and get involved in the play where Ange gets his strikers to stand 5 yard offside, gets played out to high wide players resulting in a cut back and tap for the striker.
