Mauricio Pochettino has warned has warned the sphinx like owner of Tottenham Hotspur, Daniel Levy, that he may quit unless he gets the resources he needs to take the club forward. The Spurs manager said it was unreasonable to think the club could continue to compete with England's biggest sides and qualify for more Champions League finals while working within the constraints imposed om him since taking charge at White Hart Lane in 2014.
Pochettino thought that owner Levy would be unmoved by reaching the Champions League final. He said: 'Do you know Daniel? He never loses his composure. There's no easy with Daniel.' However, the Spurs manager was clear that it would not be staying if the club expect similar levels of success without changing the way they are run. This does not necessarily mean splashing the cash, but it does mean having a plan: We need to plan for the future
Spurs are doing the best to derive revenue from their iconic but costly stadium. They have won the battle with the Welsh Rugby Union to stage rugby's showpiece finals. Tottenham's new ground was reported to be vying with the Principality Stadium and West Ham's London Stadium to stage the 2021 Heineken Cup and Challenge Cup finals.
They even have the capability to convert their press conference auditorium into a private cinema, which will open for business over the summer.
Levy and Lewis have to back Pochettino, he's right in saying you can't keep doing what he's done on a shoestring budget. It's time to bring in some new blood in key areas, it has to be quality though, replacing the older players and finding a replacement for Dembele would be a good place to start.
