The Daily Mail’s latest piece on the activity at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club would appear to have lifted the lid on another awkward piece of public relations.
The claim made by Sami Mokbel for the Daily Mail is that Mauricio Pochettino is being pursued for a pay cut, despite being to all intents and purposes, no longer being a part of club operations.
Mokbel understands that THFC has reached out to Pochettino, whom the club fired last year, in order to discuss trimming the existing £8.5million reparations being paid to the Argentine.
What is curious here, is the assertion that Tottenham CEO Daniel Levy agreed to “continue paying the former manager’s wages until he found a new job.”
Perhaps it is true but does that constitute enough to place Poch as being technically on the payroll? The former coach is now surely no more than an outgoing expense – which is something a tad different, no?
Whatever the truth is, what is clear, is that Daniel Levy’s Teflon coating would appear to be peeling away, of late.
