‘There will be criticism’

TalkSPORT’s Simon Jordan has spoken about Spurs’ purported interest in the 5꧟7-year-old on the on Thu🔯rsday.

He says Postecoglou is a “very good manager” and, at the risk of upsetting Hoops fans, he said there’s a “natural progression” from the Scottish Premiership to the Premier Le💟ague.

“He’s a very good manager, isn’t he,” the talkSPORT pundit sꦿaid about Postecoglou.

“And there’s a natural progression, whether Celtic fans want to hear that oꦉr not, but going from Scotland to the Premier League is a natural progression.

“Celtic are a wonderful football club, nothing I’m s♔aying is detracting from that.

“But the Premi🌞er League is the biggest league in world football and so manager are going to want to find themselves in that space if they’ve got anything about them.

However, Jordan also🍸 issued a word of caution for Postecoglou, who would be going to a club with “its challenges”.

“Whether he feels his time at Celtic has ▨run its course, I don’t know,” continued Jordan.

“Going to Tottenham has its challenges, not💝 just because of Daniel Levy but also because of Daniel Levy.

“Any manager going into Spurs would be walking in as💞 a Daniel Levy appointment and into a club with great toxicity from fans towards the ownership model.

“Do I want that? or will there be an opportunity if I keep winning ev🅰erything with Celtic and keep progressing Celtic that I might even get a bigger job than Tottenham?

“There are a segment of Tottenham fans who 𝔍don’t welcome anything Daniel Levy does with open arms. There 🌜will be criticism.”

The 57-year-old has also proven to✱ be a master in the transfer market, unearthing gems time and time again.

Peter Cklamovski, worked as Postecoglou’s assistant boss at ♔Yokohama Fꦑ Marinos, had the highest praise for the Australian.

He Football Scotland inꦿ November 2022: “Obviously there has been strong interest for Ange rec🌳ently.

“I’ve been saying this for over a decade but Ange is ඣone of♏ the best managers in the world.

“He is showing his quality🀅 in the Celtic role, he loves Celtic and is doing an amazing jo🎃b there.

“He will prove that he is one of the best managers in the wor🎀ld in the English Premier League also.

“I’m sure this will happen at the ri🤡ght time for al♊l parties.”

Expectations are incredibly high at Celtic and he has met them all. That b💖odes well for a potential m♊ove to Spurs.
