Graeme Souness believes Ange Postecoglou will hold fire if Brighton offer him the chance to move to the English Premier League because the Aussie will believe bigger doors will open south of the border if he continues his success at Celtic.
The Aussie is among the favourites to succeed Graham Potter at the Seagulls but Rangers legend Souness, a big admirer of Postecoglou’s work at Parkhead, reckons the 57-year-old will be thinking beyond the south coast outfit. Souness told talkSPORT: “He’ll be looking at I this way ‘Things are going well at Celtic, I’ll get a better offer than Brighton down the line’. That’s the top and bottom of it for me. If Man United, Liverpool or one of the other big guys came calling I don't think there would be much loyalty.
“I don’t see this as loyalty - I see it as a straight choice between a truly good football club and managing a provincial team in the best league in the world. Ange has done a great job at Celtic. I met him briefly at an Italian restaurant in Glasgow one night.
