Brave New World: Inside Pochettino’s Spurs, the behind-the-scenes story at the club in the manager’s own words, has been updated to take in the events of last season, in which the club finished third in the Premier League but failed to end their trophy drought.
Author Guillem Balague writes in June 2018 (p. 277-278) how matters had come to a head between Pochettino and chairman Daniel Levy even though the manager had signed a new five-year contract the previous month.
“Levy had to do one of two things, either get rid of certain players and replace them with others who were good enough or look for another coach,” Balague explains. “The renewal of his contract at the end of May was the consequence of some tough, but totally necessary, conversations that took place and was an indication of how the club responded to his demands.
“It was now time to set about renewing the dream by bringing in a new energy in the shape of players of the highest possible calibre.
“The 2018-19 season would not be like the last. The club had to admit that it had made mistakes and they needed to learn from them. Bravery can sometimes be at its best when the accelerator is pressed to the floor.”

Oops
Unfortunately it’s completely believable. I’d say the January window is massive for us. Fail to get rid of the players Poch wants rid of and if a good job comes up in the summer we will be looking for a new manager and the chairman will only have himself to blame....and possibly looking for a new job himself if lewis is pissed.
