Spurs fans have been discussing the news that the club may be forced to pay former manager Mauricio Pochettino a further €4.4 million (£4 million) should he fail to get a job ahead of next season.
According to France Football (via Talking THFC), Daniel Levy will have to pay the Argentinian a significant sum next season if he doesn’t take another job in management before then. The 48-year-old was sacked as Spurs manager in November, just months after he took the North London club to the Champions League final.
Therefore, some Spurs fans may be perhaps hoping to see their former manager take on a near job in the near future, as to ensure that the club can keep hold of the £4 million and potentially put that into a transfer budget.
If Mourinho did leave, would you want to bring back Pochettino?
Yes
No

These Spurs fans seem to think that Pochettino should simply just get his old job back, however one fan took a different view.
He robbed the last 6 months wage! Give him nothing

What do we think?
As much as some fans might want Pochettino back, Mourinho’s contract is set to run until 2023, so it would surely cost significantly more than the £4 million Levy may have to pay Pochettino if he wanted to fire Mourinho and bring the Argentinian back to the club.
