Mauricio Pochettino caused a stir last night when he told BT Sport of his dreams to manage Tottenham again, and finally, bring us a trophy.
My gaffer Harry is sick of Poch’s fawning towards Spurs, and our fans towards him, going so far as to call him the ‘Argentine David Brent’.

But I can’t comprehend the anger directed towards Poch at all. I understand why some supporters wanted him out as manager, but I don’t see the need for anybody to be so deeply offended by his love of the club.
Isn’t that what every fan wants from their manager? Isn’t that why so many half-wits are desperate for former players to take the hot seat one day? Because they love and understand the club as much as they do?
Would Harry Kane be treated with the same contempt if he were to leave this summer? He’d have won the same amount of trophies as Poch did.
Poch is one of us; anybody who has watched his BT Sport interview can see that. He may not be Tottenham by birth, but he can still call the club home.
And there is no place like home. What is wrong with Poch admitting that?
