Ange Postecoglou yesterday held his first media conference since his arrival in North London. The Aussie was asked whether the Spurs job was a step up from Celtic, and as he did on a regular basis up here, he batted the ball and the interviewer right out of the park with an plain and honest answer. One that will no doubt rile the arrogant English reporter and many of their readers.

Ange said that he doesn’t believe anything to be a step up in life, as everything he does is seen as a different challenge. In the so called smaller leagues around the world people are fighting different challenges, but it’s a challenge all the same was what he basically said.
He quiet rightly said that finishing second at Celtic is seen as a failure and would have cost him his job at Celtic. Not just winning, but winning with style was the way he put it, and he’s one hundred percent correct. The pressure up here to succeed is alien to anything any manager will experience down south.
Ange has only done one press conference down south and he’s already put a few noses out of joint. Just like he did up here. He’s gone now but I’ll sure miss him giving it both barrels to the Scottish Mainstream Media.
