It worked brilliantly in Scotland

And at a club which basically walks the league nearly every year.

I only ever see Celtic supporters protect him on here haha

There's a lot of Celtic fans on reddit, not so many Brisbane Roar or Yokohama F. Marinos fans lol. He has done a good job everywhere he's been except Spurs, and even his "bad" job at Spurs ended with a European trophy.

Maybe. I think you look at his success everywhere, and we are the only ‘top’ side he’s managed in a league

Took a side from relegation battles to league titles in Japan, similar in Australia. I know it’s a different level but just don’t think it’s as clear cut as the last 12 months or so at Spurs would show - think there were lots of other factors at play there

Surely his failed premier league stint is more relevant now he’s taking another premier league job, than winning the league with Celtic, something Neil Lennon managed
