“WE actually allowed ourselves to believe that Ange Postecoglou was different. That this Celtic manager moved and had his being on a plane far above that on which the rest of us exist. That he was impervious to the false glamour of money and ambition and that instead he was possessed of a value system characterised by loyalty, self-denial and a desire daily to perform small acts of mercy for the sick and the dying.“
“allowed ourselves to believe” - This is called delusion.
“being on a plane far above“ - Aye to London.
”the false glamour of money” - We’ll hear no more of their bank balance then.
“acts of mercy for the sick & the dying” - They wanted him to run a Hospice?

If this was a bear at the madam, excellent work!
