Simon Jordan admits he's not sure that now is the time for Ange Postecoglou to make the move to the Premier League.

However, the former Crystal Palace owner was keen to remind everyone about the blunt "stepping stone" reality of managing either Celtic or Rangers.

Speaking with Jim White on talkSPORT this morning, Jordan assessed Postecoglou's links with the vacant Leeds United job.

Jesse Marsch was dismissed by the Elland Road club yesterday after less than a year in charge. 

The American left the Yorkshire side above the relegation zone only on goal difference.

Postecoglou is reportedly on the radar of the Leeds hierarchy, and is certainly high on the list of the bookies' favourites for the gig. 

While Jordan reckons the Australian would be a good fit at Leeds, the successful businessman just can't foresee it happening.

He said: "He's someone that I'd absolutely want to talk to. Although, I'm not sure this is the right time for Ange Postecoglou. I think he's still building a relationship with Celtic that will launch him onto a spring pad of some other opportunities. 

"The challenge for me is that I think Leeds United are a huge football club. I think the opportunities of Leeds are significant.

"So I'll argue against my point. I don't see Ange going at this moment in time, but there's another part of me that thinks if I was Ange Postecoglou, I'd want to be looking at Leeds United. 

"In the same way I'd imagine, if the timing had been different, the challenge for Sean Dyche between choosing between Everton and Leeds might have been more compelling. I think he might've quite fancied the Leeds job, but it didn't work out and now he's at Everton, where he'll do a great job there. I think he'll keep Everton up.

"The challenge for Leeds is I think they probably know in their minds eye who they want. I don't think compensation plays a part in it. If they spent £150million in the summer on transfers, albeit, a lot of that was propped up by the sales of Rafinha and Kalvin Phillips, with a the club up for sale too, believe me Andrea Radrizzani is not going to be allowing a small exercise such as compensation from stopping them getting the manager that keeps them in the Premier League that keeps the sale on track."

White then chipped in to raise the point of the stark reality of where Scottish football finds itself on the food chain.

And it was at this stage that Jordan highlighted that managing north of the border is essentially a "stepping stone" to eventually better their careers. 

Although, while pointing to previous examples of Steven Gerrard and Brendan Rodgers, he did admit that Postecoglou could be of a different mindset - floating the idea about the Aussie's integrity.

White said: "I'm Scottish. I know the might of Celtic. You know the might of Celtic, my goodness you've been up there with me.

"But when it comes down to it, there are those here who would argue that Leeds, even in their current state, is a more attracting proposition than Celtic."

Jordan replied: "Again, without wanting to be inflammatory, the tragedy for Scottish football is that Celtic and Rangers now are a stepping stone for managers. 

"They're big clubs, they're big in their league and they'll go into Europe and do remarkably well like Rangers proved. 

"But the first opportunity, the first whiff of a grown-up Premier League club, most of these managers that manage in Scotland leap. Like Gerrard did with Villa, and Brendan (Leicester). 

"With that in mind, I'm not sure Postecoglou is cut from the same cloth. He doesn't have that relationship with the Premier League just yet. Whilst he'll get the message that the Premier League is the best league in the world, I think there's something slightly more deeper about his viewpoint on how he wants to build his career. 

"I get the impression that he's got a bit of backbone and integrity. He'll leave when it absolutley suits him, at the same time as he's done the job that he was brought in to do. 

"He's half way down the road of doing that at Celtic anyway."
