The last week has been a turbulent one for Spurs. A rumour started by The Sun was turned into a big old thing as The Athletic who, with their huge subscription reach was able to catapult the suggestion to perhaps a more diverse modern footballing audience, than perhaps the ‘soaraway’ tabloid might be able to. Fan demographics and their behaviour online are frequently enlightening beasts up close.
The Times believe as regular readers will know, just I have previously suggested, that Harry Kane is wouldn’t be swayed by the arrival of a coach that had essentially previously wasted his time and failed to win silverware. We all know that Harry wants pots and pans. The England Captain has made no secret of that fact. Winning trophies are (for the zillionth of telling) the defining metric of professional sport.
Harry Kane admires Mauricio Pochettino as a manager, but The Times understands that his return to Tottenham Hotspur would not tempt the striker to change his mind about leaving the club.

More distressing still is that Pitt-Brooke’s version of The Sun’s piece contained this quote.
But although Pochettino has enjoyed the chance to work at an elite club, he has found his role in Paris to be less powerful than the one that he held at Spurs in five and a half years working with Levy.

For those of us who actually know the club and understand the club, this evaluation is a struggle to make sense of. Wasn’t it Poch that said his job title needed to be adjusted?
Disinformation needs to be stamped out. Are YOU up to the task?
