ANGE POSTECOGLOU has come out with another statement that just oozes class.
The manager just gets it, he knows what it takes to be the manager of this great football club, and what it means to be the leader of it.
The Aussie boss has spoken on the importance of the fans and how they’re his greatest measure of success. He’s said this after Celtic fans have sold out nearly every fixture this season, with Saturday’s match against Aberdeen selling out nearly a month ago.
There’s a special bond between the fans and the squad at the moment, and that’d all because of the tremendous work that the manager has done; he’s not taking it for granted, though, knowing that things can change very fast in football.
As quoted by The Herald, Ange Postecoglou said:
“My measure are the people who love this football club,” he said.
“That’s the only feedback I’m looking for.
“They’ll tell me how I’m going more than anyone else. That’s always going to be my barometer. For me that’s the most important thing. Ultimately that’s our biggest measure.
“Of course, trophies are what this football club is about and that’s my role – to bring success. But the biggest encouragement or reward we can get is people wanting to come and watch their football club.
“I don’t take that for granted. No one in the club does. Even cup games, it’s a choice sometimes whether they come or not, but they are coming in record numbers.
“They are not just appreciating the fact that we are winning games of football. I think they are appreciating how the boys are playing and they are excited by that.
“For me, that’s the greatest reward. It’s always been my barometer during my whole career. Fans will tell me how I’m going more than the table or anything else.
“We can be winning games of football but if our supporters don’t like what they see then I’ll get that feedback for sure.
“For me, it’s very rewarding that they are not just appreciating the fact that we’re winning games of football, but they are enjoying the way we are doing it.”
If his side keeps playing good football and continues winning games, Postecoglou will retain his league title and challenge for both cups.
It’s set to be an exciting end of the season!
