Understand Tottenham have finally reached verbal agreement with Ange Postecoglou as next manager. #THFC

Been told it will be a two year-deal with an option included for further season, so potentially valid until June 2026.

Next step to get it done: find a way with Celtic.

Ange would be giving up a Champions League campaign in 2023-24 if he leaves for Spurs but he may feel after winning the treble in Scotland he's done all he can achieve at Celtic as far as winning trophies.

Europa League spots: Liverpool & Brighton (West Ham can join them if they win their Euro Conf. League Final).
The Hammers did it! First trophy in 43 years and first in Europe in 58 years.

By the way, for hardcore soccer/football fans, an interesting (and technical) thread analysing Ange's gameplan and how it will affect Spurs. Basically, with their squad they are going to have to take a step back and rebuild to go forward.

Tottenham have accepted an offer in excess of €100 million from Bayern Munich for Harry Kane, sources have told ESPN's
@JamesOlley.

Just a lazy A$168m+  :o. No surprise Bayern want Kane as they have been looking for a replacement striker for Lewandowski since he left for Barcelona last year.

West Ham just put 3 past Brighton away with only 20% possession and for the moment now sit on top of the EPL table  :o.

As for Angeball - it's working at Tottenham so far (they're second on GD). Spurs fans already making songs about Ange:

Arsenal sit third after stuffing up to 10-man Fulham.

Ange's Spurs down 0-1 seven minutes into second half injury time came back to win 2-1 against Sheffield Utd thanks to 15 mins of injury time  :o.

Hard to see anyone stopping Man City though  :P.

The Gunners and Ange's Spurs drew 2-2 in the North London derby. Spurs coming behind to equalize twice.

Some crazy results overnight in the EPL. Wolves knocked over Man City, and then 9-man Liverpool concede a 6th-minute injury time own goal to send Ange's Spurs into second spot.
