Ange Postecoglou won't get Tottenham time as Celtic boss will need to overcome Scottish football 'snootiness'

Ange Postecoglou has all the tools to be a Spurs success story, but may struggle for acceptance in North London due to a certain "snootiness about the Scottish league".

That's according to former Manchester City and QPR defender Nedum Onuoha, who was discussing the Aussie's speculated departure on BBC Radio Five Live with outgoing City Academy Director Jason Wilcox. Both men were full of praise for Postecoglou's mental strength and character and Wilcox offered an intriguing insight into how well the Melburnian is respected within his own treble chasing side after his performances with the Yokohama F Marinos.

Wilcox said: "I know people at Man City who are very familiar with Postecoglou, because he worked within the City Football Group at Yokohama for three years and they were really impressed with the work he did. I think what Tottenham need right now is someone who can deal with all the nonsense going on off the pitch.
