Well done Aussie ( Greek ) Ange and Celtic on getting the SPFL title in his first season at the famous Scottish club., a great turn around for the Hoops. last few seasons have not been great and they started this season looking as if Rangers would dominate again, a couple of critical wins over their great rivals and a strong second half got Ange an impressive title and it was amazing to watch their final game v Motherwell and the premiership crowd celebrations complete with inflatable kangaroos and cork hats..
Sorry I put this on the English thread - no Scottish one
Another great result for Ange.After success in both the A+J Leagues.And very competitive as national coach with an undermanned national team squad.
18 months ago Celtic where in a complete mess.None of the new recruits fitted into the team.And a club legend Lennon was shown the door.
It didn’t take Ange long to restore the winning culture at the Hoops.Good luck to Rangers in the Europa League final.On Thursday morning our time.
Great to see you back here Bazza.
And after another successful season, Ange is now leaving Celtic and is apparently looking at a EPL coaching gig. His name has been linked to London based Tottenham. If he does take the helm of Hotspur’s, he will be the first Aussie to coach an English league team I am led to believe.
Ange confirmed as Tottenham Hotspurs new coach on a 4 year deal. Made the smart move a long time ago giving up the Socceroos job, took a Japanese club to the title then won two titles in two years at Celtic. First Aussie to coach an EPL club. Well done Ange.
Not just some minnow club either that’s just scraped into the EPL. Didn’t they win the title a couple of years ago?
Hot Spurs are on field ,under achievers.
Allmost won the EPL the year Leicester City won.
One of the few EPL clubs in profit,since 2012.
The 4th largest club in the UK on revenue. Behind Manu,Man City and Liverpool. Bigger than Arsnal and Chelsea now.
The 10 th ranked Soccer team in the World on revenue.
Ange takes control on the first of July.And will have to negotiate the transfer of Harry Kane.One of the big Spanish clubs or Man u.
Just a slight amendment to your statement Gtrx. Arsenal were the team that finished runners up to Leicester the year they won the title. As you said Tottenham are perennial underachievers.
Ange will get the boot if he doesn’t turn things around quickly. Contracts mean nothing in the premier league
TBO Mike.Its great to see an Aussie Manager in the EPL.But like the last 5 Spurs Managers.He won’t be given the cash to compete with the best clubs.
Better of staying at Celtic.

Hard to knock the bloke for taking the job but still, as an Arsenal fan, I hope it goes terribly.
Have you ever been to an Arsenal game Ti Em? I went to Highbury when in the UK in the 70s and 80s and in 2010 at the Emirates, great days out!

Sounds great. I lived in London for 13 years and did not see Arsenal play live as much as I love them. I lived in North London for most of my time including a year in Tottenham. What a fucking shithole that place is. Mostly I lived in Arsenal territory (Islington, Hampstead, and Crouch End) and it was much nicer. Chalk and cheese really.
The closet I came to going to see Arsenal play was a Champions league game when someone I knew who had a season ticket and couldn’t go to the game. But they wanted 50 quid. And it was freezing cold so I didn’t go. I regret not going to a game now especially during the Wenger years (a great man). Especially not seeing the great Thierry Henry play.
I have been to the Ashburton Grove ground a few times with work. Could even hear it some nights rocking back in the Champions League era. Believe it or not, generally (the new stadium) is considered to have a poor atmosphere!
The first game I saw live was in 1979 when Arsenal broke a long winning run by Nottingham Forest by beating them 2-1. In 2010 I attended the Emirates to watch the Gunners beat Fulham 2-1. Aussie Mark Schwarzer was Fulham’s keeper.
