The ex-Tottenham Hotspur boss is reportedly still being paid by the club.
Graham Roberts has reacted on Twitter to a new story about former club Tottenham Hotspur.
According to The Daily Mail, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has asked axed manager Mauricio Pochettino to take a pay cut on his £8.5 million-a-year salary.
Levy sacked Pochettino in November but the Argentine is still being paid by Tottenham until he finds a new job, The Mail claims.
The North London side and every club around Europe is getting hit hard financially due to the loss of match-day revenue caused by the global health crisis.
And it looks like Levy has tried to reduce Pochettino’s salary in a bid to cope better with the financial hardship.
But Roberts has suggested on Twitter that it’s a nonsense story.
Contrary to Roberts’s comment, it isn’t the most unbelievable thing in the world, that Tottenham – who placed Pochettino on gardening leave – would look to cut his salary somewhat.
These are extraordinarily difficult times, even for clubs with stadiums worth £1 billion, and cut backs are going to be essential.
