Tottenham are in a dark tunnel as the results drop since the start of last season, leading to the heavy defeat of Bayern Munich in the Champions League 2-7, but this situation does not seem to worry coach Mauricio Pochettino, immune to the sacking of a huge amount.
The Londoners were hoping for a new start after reaching the Champions League final last season, and their hopes of a trophy and a place in the top of England were boosted.
However, Pochettino made a vague statement at the end of the season and said he believed Tottenham's spectacular Champions League trip was the end of a season in the club's recent history. Among the top European teams, others see Tottenham ready to move one step further.
The start of the season increased talk of inconsistency in the squad and supported the first theory.
After a shameful 2-7 defeat at home to Bayern Munich on Tuesday, it was felt that it was not the beginning of a new season, but akin to the end of the Pochettino era.
Tottenham's new 62,000-seat stadium was supposed to be the scene of glory nights, but it was tainted by the team's worst defeat in a major tournament.
Faced with this situation, the concern of the club fans for fear of leaving early competition for any title during this season, after the early exit of the League Cup and move away from the top of the league, and complicate the situation in the Champions League.
Concerns have been heightened by leaks of discontent with Spurs, who feel their coach has become more distant since the start of the season.
But those fears do not find their way to Pochettino, who is based on a clause in his contract that makes him immune from dismissal, unless he receives a huge compensation of up to 36 million euros.
According to British media, the Argentine coach's contract provides for receiving all his benefits if he is fired before the end of his contract extending until 2023.
Tottenham's administration will have to negotiate a compromise if they decide to give up Pochettino and save the team before the crisis worsens and losses increase as the season progresses.
