They’re both arrogant, stubborn and lack pragmatism. Saying ‘it’s just who we are, mate’ when you’re getting beat nearly every week isn’t a good enough excuse for a coach, nor is it brave or principled. It’s just stupid. He was sacked by Spurs because they had their lowest league finish in years. He’ll take Forest down.

Arrogant is certainly not a word I would associate with Ange, and I’m an Orange Bastard! He was the least confrontational manager in Celtic’s history, never used excuses etc. never got involved in all the Rangers Tims ****e (unlike me).


He might have finished lowest with Spurs, but they had 9 first team players out for over 4 months with serious injuries, can you imagine City without McBurnie, Hughes, Lundstram, Ajay, Coyle, Slater, Gelhardt, Millar, Pandur out for 4 months or more???? He concentrated on Europe which he won. You can say what you like about who they had to face etc. they were the only team to get to the end, so with all due respect, you’re talking absolute bollocks.

I think he’s brilliant, tells it like it is, doesn’t take any ****e off the press, gives real answers and he’s a decent human being.

Would come across better if he said the same things but looking straight at the camera rather than his boots.

 

[Kalman II]

His self confidence is born of results, he won a trophy with spurs when they were crying out for one. He could have prioritised the league and finished top ten but he went for the trophy. Lack of pragmatism? Did you watch the Europa final? His players have loved him everywhere he's gone. He's nothing like Walter.

‘Yeah, mate, we had to finish 17th so we could win the Europa League. It’s who we are, mate.’

?? Sounds like a pretty normal season for us

Very true! Not quite that bad, but we do tend to lose key players all the time.

I've got to be very careful here not to upset someone on this board, but he comes across as a typical Aussie sports person. Read into that what you will

Ultra loud in victory, silent in defeat?

Edgy and spoiling for an argument all the time.

They take the rough with the smooth, especially when it comes to sandpaper.

There’s not many Celtic players or managers I would ever back or like, probably Kenny Dalgleish, Henrik Larsson and Ange. He probably felt bad himself and wanted to do better, but what he achieved with his top top players out for 4 months, was a miracle. Frank has them third atm, but they’ve drawn with Wolves, Brighton and Bodo in Europe, scraped past Leeds and the only real top 6 team they’ve played so far is Man City. Decent against PSG, but will it last? We’ll see.


I’m pretty sure if they’d kept Ange, they’d have done better this season, but I could be wrong.

 

[SydneyTiger14]

He consciously sacrificed league position for a cup win? Strewth!

Given their injuries, yes.

And we finished 21st with no trophy.

Well good luck Nobby.
Certainly up for a challenge

Apart from Terry Neil, player manager of Northern Ireland, have we had an ex player go on to internaional coach or manager.

I had managed to successfully forget Steve Mclarens international career now I've been reminded it's all come flooding back!!!!


Oh dear.
I think I need to call for my medication
