Guillem Balague for the BBC has effortlessly turned up the heat on the pressure cooker that is Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
Balague, one might recall, wrote the Pochettino book, Brave New World.
The style in which it was composed allows us to realise that the two men have a close relationship.
For a BBC column this is crackerjack read, with very few pulled punches.
The narrative is straightforward to the point of being coldly objective.
Pochettino appears not to have much of a future at Spurs and it’s Levy’s fault.
It would appear that the only people buying the line about the squad being good enough are the Stockholm Syndrome soaked saps in the fanbase who are determined to keep the happy clapping going, come what may.
Being the only club in Europe’s top 5 leagues not to have signed as player in the summer transfer window wasn’t astute, nor was it in line with the mumbo jumbo of Tottenham doing things a different way. It was stupid.
Our squad is only a handful of games in and looks tired, confused and a million miles away from being contenders for anything other than a slow decay.
This blog described as gently as it could how fortunate the Manchester United win was, and we may now be in for some unedifying results.
