Kenny Dalglish isn’t surprised that EPL clubs are showing interest in Ange Postecoglou.
Almost on a monthly basis the Celtic boss is linked with a move south of the border with Spurs and Leeds the latest clubs that have been showing interest.
It would be easy for Postecoglou to come out with the line that he is flattered by the speculation but at every turn he has shown nothing other than a determination to get on with the job he has undertaken at Celtic.
Last week Patrick Veira became the 10th EPL boss to be sacked this season with Antonio Conte unlikely to be in charge of Spurs when the EPL resumes on April 1.
Dalglish has observed the speculation, Postecoglou has even been mentioned as a possible successor to Jurgen Klopp, but believes that the sacking culture that opens doors could be one reason that the Celtic boss will stick with job he is currently engrossed in.
Asked about EPL interest in Postecoglou, Football Scotland reports the former Liverpool boss saying:
They’d be stupid not to ask him, but as someone said, it’s manners to wait until you’re asked. Even if he was asked, I don’t know if he would go.
Are you trying to say that Celtic isn’t as big an adventure as some of the clubs that were allegedly interested in him?
Why would he go down to the Premier League to get relegated, or to one of the teams threatened with relegation.
He’d rather be at Celtic looking to win trophies. But it always comes up, when you’re doing well, there’s always someone else interested. And so they should be.
Postecoglou remains on the 12 month rolling contract that he signed when he joined Celtic in June 2021.
It was answered by our manager MR postecoglou and he is not one to repeatedly answer to the same question every week or even every day man says he in a dream his family love Scotland and I think that matter more to him than money Liverpool job would be tempting but he won’t be offered that spurs ain’t the family club of old plus he will be on a good wage at celtic they don’t get the tv money to back them but I’d say they are one of the best run club in Europe they have a world wide advertising network with Japan.south Korea. Australia. There shareholders are not in it for profit or fame how many shareholders are known some have been with them for decades mist are millionares even some billionares the board made up of men that are respected in the banking and industrial world top backroom staff we are investing big in our scouting network teams are coming in with big money to tempt our youth players away playing on the naivety of the young Celtic_fc_1888 will not sell celtic to no one player you see what you get and you free to go if you don’t have the faith in what Celtic_fc_1888 will make you a better player ther are players who have stayed at celtic and are very rich and happy some people who have left celtic miss what the had
Sir Kenny Dalglish has not one scintilla of influence in Celtic’s transfer policy of players or management ! Yet ,some scoop asked him a loaded question in order to seek a headline . Sir Kenny’s opinions are for himself . These charlatan hacks seem to think that if a person of prominence gives one ,then that is the deal sealer ! Has there ever been a more lazy ,inept , incorrigible bunch of so called journalists in wee Scotland ? Didn’t think so …
Stop calling them journalists.
They are rumour mongers.
Copy and paste merchants.
Agenda driven individuals committed to preserving
the ‘ Establishment Klub’ (sic).
The remainder just toe the party line, fearful of losing their jobs or terrified
of upsetting the Onion Bears.
Don’t dignify their envy fuelled spiteful output as ‘Journalism’.
I prefer PMcGB’s description of their activity as ‘Churnalism’.
