Mauricio Pochettino is the favourite for the Manchester United job, so was he actually overrated at Tottenham? Stu thinks a better tactical manager wins a trophy with that squad, and Si says it's the wrong club at the wrong time.
Jim, Si, Stu and DJ walk through the Pochettino years at Spurs: the squad he inherited with Hugo Lloris, Jan Vertonghen and Christian Eriksen, what he did for Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Dele Alli, and the transfers that went wrong, from Vincent Janssen and Serge Aurier to Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso. DJ gives the American view on what it means for the USMNT, Thomas Frank is linked with Crystal Palace, and Roberto De Zerbi's critics in Italy get a hearing.
Then the panel each pick their three favourite and three worst Tottenham managers. One of them puts Ryan Mason in his top three, and you'll want to hear why Jim has Ange Postecoglou ahead of Poch. Plus Harry Kane on a Premier League return, and what Serge Aurier's fee works out at in today's money.
