Daniel Levy has to at least ask the Mauricio Pochettino question. A new manager search process lasting over two months has elapsed and yet not one enquiry into the former Tottenham boss, who took the club forward into their new era admirably over a five-and-a-half year spell, yet he is now in place to take charge at Chelsea and really who can blame him if Spurs showed no interest?
Some supporters may hold disdain towards the Argentine for accepting to take charge of a London rival four years after his Spurs departure, especially with regard to his claims about managing certain teams. "I am so clear. I am never going to be manager of Barcelona or Arsenal because I am so identified with Tottenham and Espanyol," he said while still in charge at Spurs.
"It’s not down to me. Always I work like I want to be here for the rest of my life. That is my responsibility." As Pochettino explicitly alludes to here, he says nothing directly about managing Chelsea, although his love for Spurs should simply never be questioned.
