Along with my Atlanta United support, I’m also a Tottenham fan, so indulge me while I tell a quick story about Mauricio Pochettino’s hiring (this will come back around to Atlanta United, I promise).
Spurs were coming off some dismal times after enduring a terrible second year under Andre Villas-Boas until he was fired and replaced by an even worse manager in Tim Sherwood. Some players openly mocked him in the press as Spurs sluggishly finished the season in 6th place and far from the top four finish we’d pinned our hopes on.
