POCH HAS PLENTY TO PROVE
'One of the most over-rated managers in history'

THE Mauricio Pochettino love-in has started and he hasn’t even set foot in the building yet. 

It doesn’t seem to matter that he is the Tottenham cast-off now heading across town to manage Chelsea.

Or that he won zero trophies with Spurs.

Or that Pochettino managed to claim just two trophies with Paris St-Germain before getting sacked, despite having Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe at his disposal.

All of the above appears to have been airbrushed from history because the majority reckon Pochettino is the perfect fit for Chelsea.

And he might prove to be, too.

But then again, he might not – and what the heck do Todd Boehly and his cronies at Stamford Bridge do then?

Pochettino has a certain charm about him and it enables the Argentine to get some members of the media eating out of the palm of his hand.
