If he gets us back in top 4 within 3 years and wins a cup you have my permission to cheat on Steve P with him . I think even Steve would allow you to go astray if he does that , also it’s not like cheating on him with Ginola , he knows you ain’t leaving him permanently for Ange . I’m afraid Ange looks wise is more Cricklewood than HollywoodI hope Ange is going to be a bit more successful at Spurs (manager wise, not as a player, obvs!).

I think you’re being very generous to the fans there.
4 straight defeats and the fans will be we want levy outing their hearts out, which is as good as calling for the managers head.
Who's the Japanese geezer on the right?
Transcript From VBNews:
"Tottenham's unrivalled turnover in the past few years has left them with a patchwork of talent that the new manager will need to make effective use of. In what might turn out to be a stroke of football directorship genius, Levy has appointed Ange Postecoglou as the masterchef who has to conjure up a special dish out of their left-over ingredients.
Postecoglou will be bringing his unique brand of 'Bogan-Ball' to Spurs, in an effort to make effective use of the eclectic squad. Critics have hailed Bogan-ball as 'surprising, irreverent, peerless', and 'like pep-ball without the class'.
Bogan-ball is personified as 'tidy up front and scruffy at the back', in that it uses a perceived lack of coordination in the build-up phase to take advantage of unsuspecting opposition, leading to confusion, disarray and frustration. Defensive players in this system may seem laconic, languid and even clueless in possession, drawing in opposition players to make mistakes and often leading to frustration, regular altercations, and indeed violence.
When asked to elaborate on whether his seemingly unsophisticated approach would seem condescending, or even work in the EPL, Ange responded: "Ah, I'm not too worried about the details, mate. Just kick on and we'll see how we go."
VBNews reached out to one of Ange's most talismanic players during his spell with the Australian national team, Booner Chigwell, who was one of many players to have adopted Postecoglou's methodology and taken it to heart:
"Chiggers, can I call you that?"
"Yeah, no worries."
""Cheers for taking the time to talk to us today."
"Ah, it's all good"
"Now Ange is at Tottenham Hotspurs, what do you see as his first job in turning them around?"
"Strewth, I reckon he's gotta sort the yard out, y'know? Like properly sort it out. You can't have your mates over with it looking like that. It might be alright in Geelong, but that [expletive deleted] isn't going to fly in the Queen's backyard."
"...so a clear out of the deadwood?"
"Ah [expletive deleted] yeah, at the very least. I'd take a [expletive deleted] flame-thrower to that [expletive deleted] bunch of [expletive deleted]. Get [expletive deleted] you lazy [expletive deleted] morons. Especially you, Dier, you fat [expletive deleted] westie."
"Strong words."
"Yeah, those too."
It looks like Ange's new managerial assignment is cut out for him. Whether his back-water brand of improvised football will wash has yet to be seen. One potentially interesting aspect of his appointment is the upcoming conflict between Ange's Bogan-ball and Poch's Chav-ball. We've no doubt who'll come out on top in that tussle, but at what cost?
Alright, back to Bev with today's weather.

Everything!!
This.
First thing I thought was the 4 year deal says the right thing. The last time Levy gave a contract like this was the initial 5 year he gave Poch.
Even if it goes shit, it at least sends the right message. We are committing to a project, not a quick fix.
Most important is the fans are patient. Quick fixes haven’t worked. Look at Arteta. Looked gash for two years.
I think those of us with PTSD over the last year will possibly have muscle memory and it'll go toxic before 4 losses.
Example
Welcome Mister Postecoglou and good luck at Britain's hottest club!
Tell you what, as a Celtic fan I'm disappointed to lose Ange... But I'd drive Kennedy down to you for free. His coaching was partly how we lost ten in a row with Lennon. Ange won a watch getting Spurs as his next step up... Kennedy will have won Big BenLooks like he'll get his No2 as reported too
John Kennedy 'tells Celtic he wants to leave' and join Ange at Tottenham
Kennedy is highly regarded as a coach at the Hoopswww.footballscotland.co.uk
Every post you have made in the last 12 hours for a starter.
Look, we could go around in circles.
I'd rather not though as I still have almost 20 pages of this thread to catch up on. So let's just agree you're wrong... you should get behind the new manager and just move on.
must be a reason why big ange wants him
I can't keep up with all the posts that have been made in the last hour or so, so apologies if I am repeating stuff that has already been mentioned.
All I want to say is that I admire Ange for even taking this on. The job has become more difficult than it should be, due to all that's gone since Poch left. I don't need to go into detail, we all know what's occurred.
From the little I have seen, Ange seems a straight-up guy, who hopefully will have us playing some decent football and competing for at least a domestic trophy, to get that particular monkey off our back.
We've tried the so-called big names who make us feel that they're doing us a favour by being our manager. I knew nothing about Ange before he was linked with us, but I wouldn't consider that as an issue, if Mourinho and Conte are anything to go by.
If it has to be without Harry Kane, then so be it.
I think people have to a) give him a chance and b) give him time to put his ideas and practices in place, before condemning him to the useless pile before a ball has been kicked.
One more thing, Levy has to butt out of football decisions and let Ange do his job - more worried about this, than Ange coping with PL management TBH.

Well, hopefully you get that ticket refund you were after. Alternatively, you could just grow the fuck up and stop being such a whiny wee bitch?
When I'm with you, ange

Oh fuck off you tedious bellend.
God I cant stand these miserable tossers that contribute nothing except shutting down any shred of excitement or positivity with the same old unoriginal "hurr hurr Levy has you fooled again" bollocks.
Would rather flush my head in the toilet than read any more of your inane drivel
One more try. The above is your opinion based upon Celtic and the SPL. Not fact because Ange has not even started yet so you have zero data to back your comments up, So again, move over to the Levy out forum and continue the negative banter by all means. Here we wait and see how he does and in the meantime give Ange full support….surely you can see the sense in that….?????
Cry more, you’ll be on this managers back a month in to the season.
Pretty sure you were the one telling me we were in a top 4 race and other utter shite, being proven wrong repeatedly is fucking tedious as well but apparently didn’t change a thing.
Cunt.
