But corporate, who really call the shots, don't allow any amount of non-success (ie non-CL qualification), so a bottom-up rebuild is a bit of an extra-challenge. I was wondering whether Klopp would have survived long enough there had he translated across what he's done at Liverpool, but I suppose he did qualify for the Champions League in his first full season (didn't he?) so he'd probably have been kept on, just.

Safest route back is to nobble a direct rival, which I guess is the added bonus with Pochettino.

Getting him and Kane tough. Fucking hell. That has to work pretty rapidly.
