We know the press dont like us, they have been trying to sell Kane for years now!
More great quotes here. Why wouldn’t you trust him as a player?
"I went up to the referee at the end and said,
'In England, can I tell you that you're a prick?'
He said, 'Of course not. You can't say that'.
So I said, 'Can I think you're a prick?'
He said, 'You can think whatever you like.'
So I said, 'Ok, I think you're a prick.'"
You're right. I was up too early.
The Age, the paper in his home town of Melbourne, has put something up, dominated by the Harry Kane question:
‘No assurances’: Postecoglou era begins at Spurs amid familiar questions
Ange Postecoglou has held his first press conference as Tottenham manager and plans to hold a meeting with Harry Kane this week amid reports of a move to Bayern Munich.
The Australian takes a wider view, focussing on what Ange might mean for football at Spurs in the future:
The Herald Sun has rewritten an earlier piece on Ange to include some overage of the press conference, focussing mainly on his dad:
Basically everything he's said today has been pitch perfect. It's also unsurprising but still good to hear that he didn't take the job under the proviso of Kane staying at the club. We need to be flexible regarding that particular situation.
To be honest, Ange saying all the right things and Poch being a wee bit shameless has made me more glad than ever that the managerial appointments are the way around they are.

Yeah, my group — about a dozen of us — all said exactly the same thing.
Fucking love his vibe. Very wistful and studious about the game, never realised he was coached for 3 years by Puskas, must have been the tits to work under such a legend of the game. I have much less doubt about his ability to win over the dressing room and the fans now, he doesn't seem like the type to let a rocky start crumble into poor form, he sounds very committed to his ideas and he's gonna need to be with the amount of flux that's gonna happen around him.
Here's to the beginning of the big Ange era

Oh dear lord.
It's a different news cycle here mate.
It will get plenty of coverage in the sports bulletins and sports shows around and after dinner.

Yep, I'm on to it. I'm an Australian (well, a Gippslander anyway).
To the consternation of some, there are a few Australians on the forum these days. ;-)

Yes, I have earned the wrath of a few of the forum locals. Copped a nice of spray from a fan of English hypocr...I mean cricket on that forum.
I do expect plenty of Ange stories, no matter how mundane to fill our sports coverage for however long he manages Spurs. I remember the days when every time Mark Bosnich made a save it would show up on the nightly sports report.
