Same goals for and against but he's squeezed an extra point out of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennie makevin Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Pleasing to see the con man Postegoclu being found out. No amount of false passive aggressive 'ok mate' bonhomie will disguise the fact that he's a poor one-dimensional apology of a manager . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who regularly watches the top tier of Scottish football understands that winning the league with Celtic is pretty unremarkable. He’s landed on his feet getting a huge salary at Spurs. I reckon you could put a manager from any club in the top 4 leagues in Scotland in charge of Celtic and they’d still win the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Smith wasn't great at Everton because he didn't have a massive monetary advantage over everyone else. Gerrard was average at Villa too. I think they were both low 30s for winning percentages in England. Winning the league as Rangers or Celtic manager is actually bad for your CV, weirdly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 They were top of the league about 4 games ago until half a dozen players got injured/suspended. This place was full of people lauding him up a month ago. The chat on this thread is awful. If it isn’t page after page of “BARCLAYS” it’s page after page of any manager who lost their most recent game being called a fraud. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including, oh I don’t know, our very own @TheScarf: On 04/09/2023 at 10:23, TheScarf said: To be fair, ten Hag does seem like a very average manager. Probably not helped by the worst Man United squad in 30 odd years. Look at what 'Ange' has managed with Spurs in about 8 weeks working with them. And that's with losing a guy who is guaranteed to get you at least 30 goals a season. ten Hag hasn't improved United one iota since he's been their manager. I await your grovelling retractions with great anticipation. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only people lauding him on here were Celtic fans. And as far as I remember when Celtic fans, apart from the hardcore nutters, were praising him it was as much for a particular style of football rather than just getting three points in Livingston at Spurs he has already gained a reputation for doing things differently, for having his own style. Were I a pretentious pseudo intellectual twat I might describe him as being hailed as a football auteur. And I am so I will Of course turning up with an approach that opponents aren’t used to dealing with can work strongly in your favour. Greece won the European Championship doing it but eventually people see it coming and at least some of them will figure out how to counter it and unlike in Scotland if Ange’s opponents come up with a plan now they will generally have the tools to implement it His injury worries will ease and he’ll freshen the squad to be more suited to what he wants to play but that will be balanced against opponents developing their understanding of what they’re up against 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
