Frank McAvennie dismisses as “nonsense” the allegations circulating in England regarding Celtic manager

Brendan Rodgers and Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou.Brendan Rodgers and Ange Postecoglou occupy contrasting positions regarding their respective successes at Celtic and Tottenham Hotspur.

At Celtic, Rodgers has already experienced considerable success this season, having led the Bhoys to victory over Rangers in the division Cup final, established a 13-point lead at the summit of the division, and secured qualification for the Champions League following a triumph at Celtic Park against Young Boys.

Ange Postecoglou is currently facing significant duress as the former Celtic manager encounters difficulties at Tottenham Hotspur. Currently positioned 15th in the Premier League and struggling to maintain a foothold in European competitions, the Australian is facing significant criticism and is widely regarded as being at risk of dismissal due to his overly aggressive style of play, which previously earned him acclaim at Parkhead.

However, it appears that there are rumours regarding both managers circulating within the English press, which former Celtic striker Frank McAvennie has characterised as “a great deal of nonsense.” Celtic hero brands the speculation regarding Brendan Rodgers’ potential replacement of Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur as ‘fantasy.’

McAvennie stated on the Let Me Be Frank podcast [20m 45s], “The media in that region, characterised by their typical sensationalism, is currently attempting to incite speculation regarding Brendan’s potential move there and the possibility of Postecoglou’s return.” A considerable amount of absurdity.

Nevertheless, a transfer involving Ange at Tottenham Hotspur approaches the realm of a fairy tale narrative.
