Ornstein says Spurs hierarchy were unanimous about not targeting Pochettino

[Dougal]

Don't think it was personal. They probably have some well founded reservations from his first stint eg transfer flops from his last window that cost major money, his book etc...

There is no guarantee Poch would be successful in his second stint and the PR and press would be brutal in that scenario where things start to go awry. The last thing you want is an under pressure manager saying I told the club to rebuild 4 years ago and they did not do anything etc etc...

Things have got so bad that we really need a fresh start with someone not connected with the recent past at this point.

Only problem with blaming the transfer flops on Poch is the fact that we signed flops before and after him. His signings of Lo Celso, NDombele and Sessengnon played a total of 11 minutes together. He didn’t get the rebuild he asked for and didn’t get time to mould a new team from what he was given.

None of it really matters now. Whether he goes to Chelsea or not, that one is now dead in the water.

Well said. Never said the whole blame was on Poch for the transfer flops btw however, he is partly culpable as he was there at the time and would have been part of those decisions.
