BIG CLAIM! 🤯 talkSPORT question if Postecoglou could use the Spurs job to become Man City manager 🔥

um it sells it beat Inverness 3-1

yesterday to win the Scottish cup they

beat Rangers 2-1 in February to win the

league cup and beat their old firm

Rivals by seven points to win the

Scottish Premiership title you're a big

Celtic fan aren't you I am and uh

manager and postal code glue been

heavily linked uh with a move to

Tottenham Hotspur how good is he I think

he's great I think he's

um he was needed at Celtic at the time

and after Stephen Gerrard won the league

with Rangers

um the club was in a bit of Dire Straits

he's come in I think he's handled the

media superbly well he understands the

fans and the culture at the football

club his recruitment's been absolutely

spot on and the style of football is the

Celtic way and um you know the players

that he's brought in have had an

absolute massive effect on the way the

teams performed and he's won five out of

the six trophy since he's been there I

don't think you could have done any

better than he's done

do you think he's going to Spurs I hope

not because I think he's he started

something at Celtic

um the fans absolutely idolize him and

um he's loved and you know

it seems like it's not a full job

because I think he he has to he does

completed the job yeah exactly yeah

because it's the Champions League he's

not been able to progress in the

Champions League and I think if he has

one more window as in this summer to

recruit

with the money that they've got because

they you know obviously being Champions

getting the qualification for the

Champions League again if he gets the um

positions right and the the recruitment

right with the players that he brings in

he'll have a good crack at it I think

listen it's difficult because you

haven't got the strength in depth at

times in the Scottish League

um so that

um daily chore what Premier League

um

teams have and that competition that

teams have in the Premier League week in

week out doesn't matter if you play a

bottom of the table or top you know you

often that a Scottish team ends up going

through too deep in the Champions League

it's happening

yeah absolutely and that's what I'm

saying so maybe

perform better in the Champions League

because even though they had some decent

moments during the Champions League this

season they didn't get any wins so

perform better in that and then when you

do go into the Europa League make sure

you try and impact that do you think

that um he sort of gave us an indication

that he might be moving on after the end

of the season when yesterday was asked

about his links with the Tottenham job

and he said I think I deserve to enjoy

this moment just like everybody else I

worked really hard for it I owe it to my

friends and to my family I get why you

have to ask the question but from my

perspective I deserve to enjoy this

moment there will be time uh to come for

those kind of questions but for now

we've grasped a small chunk of history

for ourselves I'm not going to pass that

by by being sidetracked I think it's the

perfect answer basically he's batted it

away yeah but is he given an indication

that by not wanting to talk about it he

probably is going to move on because if

he was going to stay he would just say

no I'm staying here and I'm going to

enjoy this I'm going to build on what

we've done but maybe he's not decided or

maybe he's holding his cards close to

his chest because he can negotiate a big

fat deal I would say it's it's as it is

because he's quite a straight talker and

and I think he's he said it as it is and

I don't think he would have been

negotiating whilst going for the treble

so I think maybe it is in the on the

back burner and maybe it's something

that they're gonna look at now but I

think during the last few weeks of the

Season which was massive for for Celtic

I think he's he's been professional he's

been loyal to the club and he probably

hasn't got any listen it's a big move

going to the Premier League especially

with a football club like Tottenham

um but you have to say you know he he

has been unbelievably professional since

he's been at Celtic and I think that's

just an extension of that his backstory

Is Amazing by the way I know um he

arrived in Australia as a five-year-old

not speaking in word of English

um grew up in a Greek community in

Australia earlier very slowly but surely

got sort of acquainted with sort of

teammates and and school friends but

they all loved Aussie rules and cricket

and he loved football so he managed to

play a bit of football he watched uh

there was a team in South Melbourne at

the time it was before in the a-league

and all that so he used to watch that

with quite a lot of other sort of Greek

immigrants who had moved over to

Australia and um his dad played a little

bit he played a little bit he ended up

getting into it on a more regular basis

became the manager of um a uh the

Australia under 20s at one stage and a

bit of a coaching Hiatus ended up in the

a-league then went to Australia and

became the Australian manager that took

them he took over during the 2000 or

just before the 2014 World Cup took them

to 2018. but because of the fact that he

he felt as if they weren't investing in

certain areas and they weren't giving

him what he wanted he quit didn't go to

the World Cup in 2018 he quit just

before Amanda principles

um and as a result of that he ended up

going off to Japan to further his career

really well did really well did very

well back in the a-league as well

Melbourne and then ended up ended up at

Celtic when again it was a bit of sort

of Suspicion about it here yeah when he

first I remember Alan Brazil yeah no one

knew who know who he was or whatever but

but ultimately there is a there was a

piece in the telegraph earlier today

actually about you know suspicion of of

things that we don't no and the distrust

maybe of the Tottenham fans but this is

a guy that actually stands for attacking

exciting football you don't compromise

which is you know sort of demonstrated

by his quitting of the Australian team

just ahead of the Russia 2018 on the

point of principle

um he's he's someone who speaks directly

to the supporters he's done a brilliant

job at Celtic really taking them from a

team that finished second to Rangers to

a team that are dominating once again

listen it's a different landscape

automatically going to translate but it

could be a stepping stone but it's a

great opportunity for him are you

suggesting now that he's going to go to

uh Tottenham to uh feather his nest make

himself look good

his work for the city already worked

with Scott Munn who's Now by all

accounts they are massive fans of his

yeah the guy who he's working for in

Australia I think he's now the chief of

football operations at Tottenham I think

that's the only way he gets the city he

has to prove himself in the Premier

League first games

he's worked for two City Group clubs

already do you play for City I can't

remember steady not really anyway

I was there for four years

um right it'd be interesting to see what

happens with Angie pasta cochleau

because I think he's going to be a an

addition to wherever he goes next in

terms of Personality League wise and

whatever because he is one of those that

um as I said talks directly he's got

great personality he'll light up a room

when he talks to you but he's also

producing great football he improves

players as well you know you look at

Carter Vickers you know he couldn't get

in the in his Tottenham Squad he got him

up there he's almost played the year

Celtic this season the absolute superb

played right till the end until they had

to go and get an operation got him into

the uh well obviously he got himself

into the American Squad but you know

raised his profile so much in his

performance that he ended up going into

the US team well it'd be interesting to

see what happens those questions that he

said there will be a time to come for

those kind of questions will be asked

I'm sure very shortly

in Glasgow

um but he needs to talk do you need time

he ain't got time if he wants to go to

Tottenham and they've got to sort it out

soon they've been searching for a

manager for 60 days but yesterday wasn't

the day that's the time to celebrate

with this team and tomorrow you never

know
