Parlour can’t believe it’s not Pochettino

The pundit spoke about the 51-year-old manager.

“Everybody thought Pochettino was an absolute certainty, I ce꧂rtainly did,” Parlour said.

“That’s another hammer ღb𒁏low for Spurs if that happens because I’m sure quite a few Spurs fans wanted him [Pochettino]”

Obvious choice

Pa💛rlour can’t believe that Spurs haven’t gone after Pochettino, and, in ꦉall honesty, neither can we.

The Argentine w꧃as the obvious choice for Tottenham after Antonio Conte was sacked. He’s loved by the fans, he’s loved by the players 🐼and he plays the right style of football.

However, despite Pochettino ticking ﷽all of these boxes, Daniel Levy h��as refused to go back and speak to his former manager, and it’s really difficult to understand why.

Of course, relationships in football can often be very fragile and there is a lot of history between Levy and Pochettino, but sometimes you just have to swallow 🔯your pride and do the right thing for your football club.

Sadly, it lo൩oks as though Tott🌺enham have missed out on Pochettino now and they’ll have to look elsewhere.
