That can't be right, can it?
Yeah, looks like they are offering 100 quid a week if this is true.Gets worse first time i read it i thought it said he was Austrian and was thinking well maybe not too bad if he won the Austrian league and managed the international team then saw Brisbane Roar and Melbourne Glory to realise he is Australian.
55 years of age and that is his expierence? That looks shocking if they appoint him. Makes Keane look like Pep
To be fair, of course I don't know anything about him, so I'm talking out of my... I'm just desperate for Keano to go back into management and make it work. 99% have written him completely off, which is part of the charm for me.I am no fan of the old Firm but for those of you unfamiliar with Ange he is a very good coach. I think he will surprise a lot of people if he takes the job. Players all speak incredibly highly of him and even though the snobs of the Old Firm may regard him as being beneath them his record in the leagues and at international level is very good. If he takes the job it will be a very smart appointment by Celtic. Of course all the Old Firm snobs will bleat on about his experience being in the so called lesser leagues. I hope he takes the job just to piss off the entitled fan base but the down side for me is he will actually do a really good job.
Celtic is a poorly run club with a limited budget, Crystal Palace & the Premier league is way more appealing to an ambitious manager. He will be going up against top players & top managers every week instead of coasting through to a top two finish in a pub league.Howe wants the Crystal Palace job. What a nutter. Could win titles with Celtic, get experience of managing in Europe. But no he wants the Crystal Palace job. Jees.

It's funny to me that a Leicester fan of all people would spout such ignorant shite. Do you think you'd have Rodgers if he'd chosen to go to the likes of Crystal Palace in 2016?Celtic is a poorly run club with a limited budget, Crystal Palace & the Premier league is way more appealing to an ambitious manager. He will be going up against top players & top managers every week instead of coasting through to a top two finish in a pub league.
Every week? Really? Do you even watch the Premier League?He will be going up against top players & top managers every week
That's a stupid comment.Its the Australian league i wouldn't even consider that non league level here. If Celtic appoint him then it is truly shameful and would be the most embarrassing appointment i have seen in football.
There's a lot of stupid comments about this all over the internet SambaBoy.That's a stupid comment.
If you think its non league level then you are completely clueless.Its the Australian league i wouldn't even consider that non league level here. If Celtic appoint him then it is truly shameful and would be the most embarrassing appointment i have seen in football.
What does it even mean? Everything that isn't the top 4 divisions is non-league.That's a stupid comment.
It's defo worse than the Championship in its present state. No doubt in my mind about that. A few years ago the top A-League teams wouldn't have looked out of place in the lower parts of the Championship, but not any more.What does it even mean? Everything that isn't the top 4 divisions is non-league.
Can't say I know much about it. It's full-time pro I think so for a team cohesiveness and player fitness perspective they're going to have an advantage over the part-time clubs in England so would put them as National League level (tier 5) as almost a minimum as it's tier 6 where you really get more part-time clubs nowadays. I believe they have good training facilities which isn't based on much other than my perception that Aussies generally have good facilities for all sports much like the USA.
I'm taking stabs in the dark after that, somewhere between there and League One which is quite a broad spectrum would be my guess.
Obviously the country has produced some good players down the years that have ended up in the Premier League so maybe there's the odd gem there still and I'm aware of what some players who have gone there in recent years have done so it would be trying to put it together. Matt Derbyshire being 2nd top scorer at the age of 35, Adam Le Fondre going there and scoring a lot when he didn't look good enough for the Championship anymore, looking at how insanely prolific Jamie Maclaren is there compared to his loan spell at Hibs where he was a 1-in-3 guy which is respectable, maybe parsing that together with what Adam Rooney did when he left the SPL for Salford.
Might get a telling off for this, would guess around League Two level personally.
He might be a very good coach, but you can't say it's not a massive gamble. Never mind the Australian league, this is Scottish football you are talking about. It's a unique kind of football where actual football is sometimes hard to find. There's sh!tty plastic pitches, there's a unique rivalry, there's the occasional hatchet men, there's trips to places like Dingwall in the winter.I am no fan of the old Firm but for those of you unfamiliar with Ange he is a very good coach.

Very good points, he is a massive gamble and the helter skelter fury of Scotlands premier league is going to be a shock for him.He might be a very good coach, but you can't say it's not a massive gamble.

This is also Scottish football where 2nd place is nothing for the Old Firm, & where a draw is seen as a disaster
It takes a special type of player to play in Scotland, flair players are few & far between, & you certainly need to get used to the ball being in the air a good bit.
This guy has never managed in Europe, never mind Scottish football. This is a massive cross roads for Celtic. The club are at its lowest point in years, it needs a full rebuild, the support was looking for some sort of 'name' to lift the negativity & gloom & galvanise them. His first real games are going to be Champions League qualifiers. If Celtic don't qualify & Rangers do, that's a £25M swing. Furthermore, whoever wins the league next season goes straight into the group stages the following year. So that's a potential £50M swing to Rangers.
So really, he'll get no time to bed in. He'll be expected to get through the qualifiers, & win league games from day dot. Failure to win those, & the pressure will be on him early. Remember, Rangers have just gone P38, W32, L0. That's the level of consistency here.
The same unknown Wenger who won the French league with Monaco and took them to a European final? Despite operating in the shadow of a much better funded Marseille (to the extent there was cheating going down)? It’s a bit harsh to accuse fans of being narrow minded and racist because they are disappointed by their board’s lack of ambition after stories were leaked to the media for months about the club making a major appointment. To suggest it’s no big deal to make the leap to one of the most demanding jobs in European club football is disingenuous.A interesting appointment for once by a big club. I see the myopic viewpoint of european and british football is alive and well in this thread. No doubt when a unknown wenger who had only managed in france and japan was appointed as arsenal manager the same people on here would have made the same narrow minded bordering on racist comments.
He's a fecking fantastic manager, absolutely by a street the greatest coach ever to come out of this country. But obviously none of you think that's worth anything, so try this for size.
He's won the league in Japan - arguably the best league in Asia - with less money than a host of clubs. And before that, he took Australia to the Asia Cup ffs. He's won a fecking international trophy you twats!
You're all talking shite and would do well to shut up (preferably forever).
Good postI get the scepticism but Ange Postecoglou isn't likely to get the Celtic job just because of impressive work in the A-Lague where his Brisbane Roar team won back to back titles, went 36 games unbeaten (across two different seasons) and earned the nickname 'Roarcelona' due to their style of play. It's 9 years since he walked away from the Brisbane Roar back in April 2012.
After that he did a good job with Melbourne Victory getting them heading in the right direction after two poor seasons. Early in his 2nd season at Victory, his country came calling and he did a succesful job with Australia. Had his Victory tenure not been ended by getting the national team job, it's likely he would have led them to silverware.
After walking away from the national team in November of 2017, he became Yokohama F Marinos maanger and in his 2nd season at the helm, he led them to the J-League title.
He will need Celtic's players to buy into his possession based attacking style (which he won't compromise on). Who knows how he'll go at Celtic - I hope he wins the league there. Headlines of Ange Who? might be a good omen when one thinks back to when Arsene Wenger went from managing in Japan to managing Arsenal.

Why was it likely? They had drawn the two opening games before he went to Australia.After that he did a good job with Melbourne Victory getting them heading in the right direction after two poor seasons.

He also finished 12th in his first season and 9th in his third season. You think he will get time at Celtic? It's win or nothing is acceptable there. I'm not going to act like Ange has not done a good job at the clubs he's been at but this is a completely different level of sctruity and expectation. His win ratio is around 50% at all the clubs he's been at, that will not wash at Celtic.After walking away from the national team in November of 2017, he became Yokohama F Marinos maanger and in his 2nd season at the helm, he led them to the J-League title.
Tony Mowbray had an attacking style and failed massively at Celtic, a club he was connected with. This appointment has Pedro guy failure at Rangers written all over it and the Wenger comparison is so flawed it's unreal.He will need Celtic's players to buy into his possession based attacking style (which he won't compromise on).

Exactly. If he doesn't win his first half dozen or so games & gets beat at Ibrox first Old Firm game of the season, he'll end up under severe pressure. Celtic fans rioted against a club legend after a quadruple treble when they had a poor month or so. This guy isn't getting 2 seasons to try & build a team!Why was it likely? They had drawn the two opening games before he went to Australia.

Heh, oooh gosh you're so savage and contentious, it's so terribly exciting!May as well boast he won a tiddlywinks tournament.
Eddie Howe to this guy in one move is without doubt the most laughably pathetic downgrade I have ever seen.
You could step outside Celtic Park and pick the first person who walked past the ground and they would be on the same level as the Australian league
When it all ends in tears which it will inside six months I hope for the sake of Celtic fans that whoever opted for him also gets the sack too
You can call it a downgrade all you want but stop with the utter nonsense like this, you clearly don't have a clue.May as well boast he won a tiddlywinks tournament.
