The managerial round-about at Tottenham continues, with Mauricio Pochettino now in charge of the club as he attempts to give chairman Daniel Levy what he ultimately wants, Champions League football.

In order to do that, the Argentinian manager must bring structure to a team that seems to change its footballing philosophy on weekly basis.

Under Andre Villas-Boas, it was about direct football with a high-line. Under Sherwood, it looked like it was do what you want in a flat 4-4-2.

But while many of the managers have taken the blame from fans for not finishing inside the top four, some are starting to look higher up and are beginning to point the finger at Levy.

The players brought in last summer to replace Gareth Bale were extremely poor last season and are lucky to have been handed a second chance this year. Though some seem to be taking it.

Erik Lamela has impressed in pre-season while Christian Eriksen has picked up where he left off last season. 

Roberto Soldado is still struggling but an early goal in the league will hopefully give him the confidence needed to justify his hefty price tag.

Ben Davies has been signed from Swansea to fight for the left-back position while Michel Vorm also joins from the Welsh club in order to claim the No 1 jersey from Hugo Lloris.

The work the former Southampton manager did at St Mary’s was remarkable and if he can replicate that at White Hart Lane the club have a fine coach on their hands.

The question is, can he break into the top four and stay there?

Harry Redknapp managed a single season in Europe’s biggest cup competition but could not remain among the elite and there have been no signs of that changing over the years, especially as Liverpool and Manchester City have improved dramatically.

Not to mention the established clubs Arsenal and Chelsea are unlikely to drop out, while Manchester United will be aiming to get recapture the glory days under Alex Ferguson. 

Throw Everton into mix and before you know it you have six or seven clubs trying to battle for four places. It’s mathematically impossible and Spurs may find themselves in the Europa League once again.

If that case then it is not the end of the world and it doesn’t mean Pochettino is a bad manager. 

Levy would be foolish to let him go and bring in another coach as he may find that fans have had enough of the constant change in the dugout and start calling for his P45.
