He's brilliant. isn't he?
I don't understand how he isn't more visible as a pundit when you compare his personality, the way he speaks - like Ian Wright he talks like fans do although a bit less jocular heart-on-his-sleeve than Wrighty - his honesty and obvious humanity, astute analysis too.
Compare that with the likes of Alan Smith, Micah Richards, Dion Dublin etc.
I always think if him more as the Lamela you get at Ikea. Låmelø, if you will.
‘Fantastic’: Roy Hodgson says there’s one thing about Ange Postecoglou that’s going unnoticed
Ange Postecoglou is earning all the plaudits in the world at the moment after helping Tottenham transform this season.
Postecoglou’s leadership underrated
Hodgson spoke about his opponent this weekend.“Well, he’s done a fantastic job, there’s no doubt about that. He’s brought in leadership skills as well and that’s probably partially unnoticed because people want to put it down to the fact he’s got some very athletic players now and they can press more from the front than they could in the past,” Hodgson said.
“I know him a bit and his style, that’s something Tottenham have needed as well, he’s taken it back to the playing field, what needs to be done, how they play the game, he’ll get behind them and back them up, and away from the more aggressive stance that a Mourinho or a Conte might’ve had. He’s brought it back to a more team-like environment.”
One thing I've thought about with Ange is that after 2 good years with us, he'd be snapped up to go elsewhere.
However, the tweet you posted and other stories/reports I've seen lead me to believe that he is building something long term at the club.

Roy is one of my favourite people in football.
Speaks about 8 languages fluently. Blazed a very different path as a coach and won things.
Always classy when he speaks.
Great words from a very experienced coach.‘Fantastic’: Roy Hodgson says there’s one thing about Ange Postecoglou that’s going unnoticed

Love Roy's subtle digs at Mourinho and Conte.
Dis guy....
Harry Kane's family: Who are the England captain's wife and children?
The Tottenham Hotspur striker's wife was his first kiss…www.hellomagazine.com
How anyone can describe his wife as a 'hippo' is beyond me.
Not that any woman should be referred to as a hippo in any case, quite frankly.
She is lovely.
As far as football families go, the Kane family is exactly what you'd hope to see. The guy gave us his best years. The vitriol directed at him and his wife from some quarters is rather pathetic.
Not necessarily. If I remember correctly, he said he builds his clubs like he's going to be there forever even though he knows he won't be or something along those lines.
yep! finally someone who actually sees things for how they are. that cunt conte thought putting an extra shit CB was the solution ffs.
when big ange gets things the way he wants them we are going to be a fucking force! the european giants are all fairly weak right now too.
Absolutely bloody typical that after years of dross this guy comes along just as I get a new job which prevents me from watching nearly all the games.
“I start every year and every job I do I do it as if I’m going to be here forever. The reality is that I’m not going to be.
“But every decision I make is a decision I think will be good for this football club or any football club I work for. I’m pretty proud of the fact that every club I’ve worked with, even after I’ve gone, has had success.
“No one has fallen off a cliff just because I’ve left. Every football club I left had success directly after I’ve gone and I’d like to think that what I’ve put in place is long-lasting.
“From my perspective I don’t put timelines on how long I am at a football club. I just treat every year as a separate year and a chance to build.”
