With the biggest job in British football now suddenly and shockingly available Tottenham will have to make a case to prevent their perfectly fitting manager from taking any interest in the position.

Mauricio Pochettino would be the perfect manager for Manchester United.  He plays the right style of football and develops youth players better than any of the current managers in England.  His style of management is pragmatic and also true to itself and his principles and he develops players with character, spirit and resolve.  There’s simply no chance that he’s not at the very top of the wanted list for Manchester United to replace the now departed Jose Mourinho.

It is because of this Tottenham should be feeling a great deal of pressure.  They’ve done nothing but embarrass and let down the fantastic Argentinean genius for little over a year now.  Even if we don’t discuss the peculiar lack of spending in the summer despite it’s being promised when he signed his new contract.  Then we have to discuss the fact that the stadium delays have been nothing short of a shambles.  No club should have to play away matches for a full two years.  Tottenham were supposed to be playing matches in the new White Hart Lane by now and instead don’t know when they’ll be or if it will be soon.

Manchester United aren’t in a good way either but what they can promise is a good base like Tottenham’s but there’s one more thing they can that Tottenham seem unwilling to.  Money.  Lots, and lots and lots of money.  Manchester United spend as much money as it costs to try and win and whatever it is that the manager thinks they need and then they spend some more.  Where Pochettino was given nothing last summer despite a historically good season at Manchester United he would have been given 300 something million pounds in all likelihood.

Tottenham must splash the cash in January and then again in the summer.  They’ll need to show Pochettino that he can have the things he needs and then some of the luxuries he doesn’t.  The best thing that Spurs have going for them at the moment is that Pochettino is the manager.  If they don’t respect that and treat him as the talent that he is then he’ll be gone.

Before now there weren’t that many jobs befitting his talent.  Now though the biggest and most proud job in British football could be very enticing.  Tottenham should be wary and act accordinly.
