West Ham could be Mauricio Pochettino’s last game
According to Telegraph reporter Matt Law, the West Ham match could be Mauricio Pochettino’s last game in the Spurs dugout:
Mauricio Pochettino is heading towards the point of no return at Tottenham.
The West Ham United game immediately after the international break is now rated as make or break for Tottenham’s campaign, and could even prove decisive for the manager himself.

What evidence does Matt Law bring to support his explosive claim?
Well, he relies heavily on the fact that Tottenham are saying nothing about Pochettino’s future:
Spurs are reluctant to be seen to be giving a dreaded vote of confidence, but the silence has only strengthened theories that a change is becoming inevitable.
Pochettino’s contract & compensation clause
Pochettino is under contract at Tottenham until 2023.
As detailed in the Telegraph, Spurs would have to pay the Argentine a significant sum if they axe him:
Sources (claim) it would cost chairman Daniel Levy around £12.5 million to sack him.
(Daniel) Levy would prefer not to pay an expensive compensation bill to sack a manager who has done so much for the club.
[@TeleFootball] | If Spurs would wait until to the end of the season that would widen chairman Daniel Levy’s options and give him a more realistic chance of appointing Bournemouth’s Eddie Howe, RB Leipzig’s Julian Nagelsmann, or even England manager Gareth Southgate.#THFC #COYS pic.twitter.com/xknytyqmlc
