Image for Insanity not to be interested- Kris Boyd reveals his timescale for Postecoglou’s EPL departure

Kris Boyd thinks Celtic fans are kidding themselves on if they believe that Ange Postecoglou will be at their club for the long haul.

Speculation that the former Australian international boss could be about to join Leeds United has been rife in the Scottish media.

Ally McCoist and Barry Ferguson have both offered to transport Postecoglou to Elland Road with Boyd just as keen to see the back of the hoops manager.

One SPFL defeat in 17 months has delivered one SPFL title and put Celtic in pole position to deliver a second despite losing taking just 10 points from his first seven league games.

Boyd and others have had to reassess their opinions on Postecoglou, writing in The Sun it is clear that the former Kilmarnock striker is keen to see the back of the 57-year-old that has revived and rebuilt Celtic:

There will be bigger fish for Ange to fry elsewhere. Nobody in football, particularly in Scotland, is here for the long term. It is, and always will be, a stepping stone to bigger and better things.

The Aussie has the Hoops fanbase eating out of the palm of his hand but if they think he won’t eventually take up an offer from down south, they are living in cloud cuckoo land.

Listening to some of them, you’d think he grew up in Athens with posters of Jimmy Johnstone and Billy McNeill on his wall. My guess is he’ll head for pastures new either this summer or next.

You have to factor in that the clock is ticking on his earning capacity. Postecoglou is 58 in August. Football, by and large, is becoming a young person’s game.

I don’t agree with that as too many decent operators are overlooked simply because of their age but that’s the reality and he’ll know that himself.

There won’t be unlimited opportunities for someone approaching their 60s, so he has to strike while his stock is high.

He has a young family to look after and going to England would set them up for life. He could quite conceivably earn five times more down there.

It would be insanity for him not to be interested in what’s on offer, particularly as you never know what’s round the corner.

Postecoglou grew up in Melbourne, his family emigrated to Australia when he was just 4-year-old.

Having completely rebuilt Celtic to his liking he could be around for another couple of seasons to see how far he can take an opportunity that is unlikely to be on offer in the EPL even if the salary on offer succeeds his current Celtic deal.

    Sweet Jesus,can this clown get any more stupid ?
    He now claims to know Ange’s ambitions (like he’s an up and coming young manager looking to sort his future out)
    He knows Ange’s financial situation too,apparently.
    Personally, I think he deserves a crack in his big mouth for his cheek. Absolute idiot of a man.

      Agreed Bigmick, he’s the prime example of one who can actually get stupider by the day- boyd does this with aplomb..

    There’s a massive difference between a Sevco project and a Celtic ongoing future building exercise. Everything we do relates to progressive structures, structures that keep us ahead of the game. Costed and paid for. All The Ibrox fraternity do is keep on “Sharing” their ‘joy’, 40million plus joy dividends. Oh, Oh, Oh they’re clueless. Oh will tear them apart btw.

  • Pedro71 says:

    Okay dokey, is that the real boydy, between him wee bag and c/wood, is there a group calling for help hoping for AN EXPERT on cones overturning every ? hopefully someone from the park John brown played at figure’s out money isn’t the answer.

  • Frankie says:

    Carlo Ancelotti 63 years old, enough said pin head.

  • Sean McGinley says:

    Bawface think Ange will be reading his shite and will shit it as he is soooo old ! Better get out of here as earning a couple of extra million over a few years isn’t enough ! the world is full of greedy b’stds, no more so than in football, but this manager seems to work with projects, which can be far more fulfilling. But then bawface wouldn’t have the grey matter or 2 neurons to connect that thought. Back to your new club with ye !

    These diseased orange cunts are desperate for big ange to leave, boyd the retard hasn’t a fuckin clue about anything. If he fell in the clyde he couldn’t find the water, fuckin half-wit. HH

    Kris Boyd. What can I say? The guy is an absolute tool .Thicker than pig shite. Unable to string two words or sentences together. Journalist, columnist wit( the sun. That in itself speaks volumes.. His demographic ( big word) if you could call them that, are not the shiniest pebbles on the beach . I have this image of Boyd at his laptop trying to put next load of Keech together. I realise that it’s not him but roomful of chimpanzees all banging away at their keyboards. A touch of Krusty the clown there.

    I think I took the bait there.
