Tottenham Hotspur’s board believe that the reappointment of Mauricio Pochettino would be very popular among the fanbase.
Thomas Frank is under mounting pressure at Tottenham again following the team’s shock 2-2 draw with Burnley on Saturday afternoon.
True or false: Tottenham re-appointing Mauricio Pochettino would be a bad idea…
Cristian Romero netted a late equaliser to salvage a point for Spurs, but it now means the team have just two wins in 14 Premier League matches.
Now, the North London club are assessing potential replacements for Frank, and Pochettino is emerging as a leading contender.
Tottenham think Mauricio Pochettino would be a popular appointment
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in bringing back Mauricio Pochettino and believe it would be a popular appointment, according to Miguel Delaney.
The Argentine spent six years in North London, coming so close to winning both the Premier League and Champions League.
Another six years have now passed since he was sacked, but Tottenham are now considering reappointing Pochettino.

Speaking about the situation, Delaney told Libero 090: “The current board, from what we’ve both been told, if Frank were eventually to go, there would be an interest in bringing Pochettino back obviously because it’s such an easy popularity move.”
Fill in the blank: Tottenham should _________ Thomas Frank after losing to Burnley…
Should Spurs sack or back Frank?
Tottenham fans sang Pochettino’s name during the draw at Turf Moor, making their feelings clear towards both the 53-year-old and Frank.
Many fans are keen to bring him back to the club, whilst some understand a return could be dangerous, given the question marks about whether he is still the same coach.
The reappointment of Pochettino would have to wait until the summer anyway, given he is currently committed to the United States national team job.
Tottenham’s rivals don’t think Thomas Frank is to blame
Delaney adds that an executive from one of Tottenham’s rivals does not believe Frank is the man to blame for the mess the club currently finds itself in.
At Brentford, he was at a very well-run club, never having to experience such scrutiny and pressure to fix such gaping holes.
“I was speaking to an executive from one of Spurs’ rivals who was saying, ultimately, whatever you think about Thomas Frank, he isn’t the author of the context he’s in. He’s been placed in something that he wasn’t used to from his career at Brentford,” claimed the journalist.
