FORMER Celtic man Kris Commons has expressed his belief that Ange Postecoglou will not be departing Celtic this summer, particularly not for Spurs.
Spurs have recently joined the extensive list of English clubs reportedly interested in securing Postecoglou’s services. The London club have made the Aussie manager their number 1 target as he pushes for his first treble as Celtic manager.
Despite the lack of substantial developments or reported contact between the parties involved, the rumour mill continues churning. However, there are media figures, including Commons, who view the prospect of Postecoglou’s move to Spurs as highly unlikely.
He wrote in the Daily Mail:
“Ever since they dispensed with Mauricio Pochettino, it’s a club that has just been on a steady decline, lurching from one disaster to another. When a club starts sacking their manager every year, it’s not a good look and they become a far less attractive proposition.
“I look at the Spurs squad and it just strikes me as a mess, to be honest. It’s going to need a major rebuild in the summer. Especially when you consider the fact that their talisman and captain Harry Kane will probably leave this summer.
“I expect Kane will probably end up at Manchester United at the start of next season, so whoever takes the Spurs job will immediately be faced with losing the club’s best player. I just don’t think it’s a job which will get Postecoglou’s juices flowing.”
Postecoglou has given no indication of seeking a departure from Celtic. He’s maintained his focus on the Scottish Cup final, and claims that he’s not looked past the match which could secure Celtic the treble.
As we enter the summer transfer season, we will likely learn more about Postecoglou’s intentions with Celtic and any clubs linked to him.
