He also promised Spurs fans the third was going to be a blockbuster - only for his show to get cancelled.

Football isn’t a funny old game, it's brutal these days.

There's gratitude for you ... an open-top bus and then getting launched under it.

You'd think it won't be long before the big Aussie’s phone rings with some club bigwig fancying an adventure.

And you know there will be a fair few folk in these parts who will be hoping the call comes from the east end of Glasgow.

It didn’t take long for Celtic fans to join some of the dots.

Brendan Rodgers is going into the final year of his deal and there's a suspicion the Irishman will decide his three-year second stint is plenty.
