This is the same man that gave assurances that he’d back Poch and the same man that gave assurances to Modric and Kane that they could both leave.
Im not saying he won’t put his hand in his pocket ever again, but he obvs feels the £400m he’s poured into transfers since the new stadium should have some returns.
Tbh Pochettino was too stubborn or fixated when it came to transfers. The journalists close to spurs, particularly Alistair Gold say that the year we spent nothing was because Pochettino's main targets were Ndombele and Sessegnon and neither were available so he chose to wait to get them rather than get alternatives.
Ndombele Lo Celso, Clarke, Sanchez, Gedson, Nkoudou, Janssen, Aurier Njie and Sessegnon cost a total of approx £252m and all have been unmitigated disasters .
All were Pochettino's signings and players he wanted.
Pochettino improved players and got some good ones in. Dele, Son, Trippier, Wanyama, Moura, Llorente cost a total of £90m approx and were all very good signings.
Sissoko was way over priced at £30m but was a decent player for 2 seasons.
Levy has a lot to answer for but not giving Pochettino money ain't one of them imho.
But Levy has tested the fans patience by bringing in Maureen and Nuno and subjecting us to near unwatchable football. Conte walking would spark serious fan protest and he can not afford that.
The board and Levy got complacent with no fans around . Apparently, they were taken aback by the ferocity of the fans reactions during and after the United game like it was a shock to them
