Fuming Spurs fans sick of ‘Poch Hotspur’ after Colchester shambles – and call for return of Redknapp

TOTTENHAM supporters fuming with Mauricio Pochettino want to see the Argentine gone – with some even calling for a return of Harry Redknapp instead.

Pressure is mounting on the Spurs manager after a horror week in charge.

After throwing away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Olympiakos and losing from 1-0 up against Leicester, the Carabao Cup clash at Colchester last night was the perfect chance for Tottenham to get back on track.

But a 0-0 draw after 90 minutes meant penalties and following Christian Eriksen and Lucas Moura’s misses, Tom Lapslie converted the winning spot kick to send the League Two side through.

Pochettino refused to blame his flops but with 15 defeats in 2019, a small section of Spurs fans have now seen enough.

One wrote: “I’d rather redknapp back than wake up and poch is still manager.”

Another fumed: “Get Pochettino out of my club.

A third added: “Some people out here defending Pochettino. The biggest fraud in world football at the moment. I’m delighted he’s being found out.”

One user tweeted: “Pochettino has wanted to leave Tottenham for 2 years. You can tell. I think he’s p****d he missed out on Real Madrid and United.”

The majority of Spurs fans are still content with having Poch in charge and are confident this is merely a blip in form.

But five months after one of their greatest nights, the club is descending into crisis with Harry Kane struggling, Daniel Levy’s transfer policy under scrutiny and Poch sulking.

In the Argentinian’s five seasons in charge, Spurs have finished fifth, third, second, third and fourth, reaching the Champions League final last term.

By comparison, Redknapp led the North Londoners to eighth, fourth, fifth and fourth, getting to the League Cup final and the Champions League quarters.

As well as Spurs‘ embarrassment, one punter was left ruing what might have been.

They backed 20 teams in their £1 accumulator last night, with winnings of more than £13,000 on offer.

Teams from England’s non-league divisions, the Austrian Cup and the Argentinian fourth tier all came through – but one side didn’t: Tottenham at Colchester.
