Latest Tottenham news: Mauricio Pochettino warns Daniel Levy over title pressure

Tottenham fell out of the title race due to their back-to-back losses to Burnley and Chelsea. Spurs had done well to be close to Liverpool and Manchester City, but those two poor performances cost us.

Mauricio Pochettino is still awaiting his first trophy as Spurs manager, but the Argentine highlighted that it would be difficult to achieve that considering the way Tottenham are being run.

Spurs haven’t signed a player in two transfer windows and are set to move into a new stadium soon.

Pochettino believes the work he is doing is more important and claimed Daniel Levy would need “magic” to pick up a title next season (h/t Express):

“Maybe if [club chairman] Daniel [Levy] said to me next season, ‘We need to win a title. We need to win the Champions League and we need to win the Premier League’ then maybe I say, ‘Maybe you need to find another magic guy that can do this’.

“If we’re not going to change the way we operate, I think we can be there? Yes. We’re going to fight? Yes. We’re going to find the way to be competitive? Of course.

The manager further lamented the fact that the team isn’t fighting on the same level as some of the other clubs.

“But you cannot put a gun here [to my head] and say, ‘We need to win’ if we’re not fighting with the same tools as another team.”

The will to create something special at Tottenham

Pochettino further spoke about those who have highlighted that he has won nothing in five seasons.

However, the Argentine added that he is doing much more at the club and believed the team are in a great position to move into the new stadium with regular Champions League football.

The Argentine claimed this was bigger than winning a title but added that he does want to lift a trophy with the club. Pochettino finished by suggesting that it was important for the club to be in a healthy position for the next years.

Pochettino has a point in suggesting that the team needs to be on a solid base ahead of our shift into a new stadium.
