SIMON JORDAN: Ignore the doom-mongers, Ange Postecoglou is blunt, direct and principled. He can be Tottenham's Jurgen Klopp

After a series of marriages made in hell, Tottenham’s appointment of Ange Postecoglou might just be a marriage made in heaven.

The doom-mongers will look at Postecoglou’s arrival from Celtic and say Scottish football is low rent and that he is beneath Tottenham but that is a load of nonsense.

I hate to make Australians a homogenised group but Postecoglou appears to have all the substance you would expect from your average Antipodean — steeped in decency, hard work and a no-frills approach. He is a balanced, calm, focused, determined, no bluster, no bull****, not-about-me manager who won’t turn everything into a sideshow.
