# Exclusive: Roberts drops big Levy claim amid Poch saga

**Tottenham Hotspur legend Graham Roberts insists that Daniel Levy knows he made a mistake when he sacked Mauricio Pochettino.**

Levy sacked Pochettino in November of 2019 after a poor run of form that saw them 14th in the Premier League table.

A 1-1 draw with Sheffield United was the final straw for the chairman, who decided to pull the trigger and dispense with the Argentine.

Following a brief hiatus from the game, Pochettino was appointed PSG manager in January but there is now a genuine chance that he could return to north London.

Football.London’s Spurs correspondent [Alasdair Gold](https://twitter.com/AlasdairGold/status/1399822193752739842) has reported that Pochettino has told PSG of his desire to move back to the Premier League club this summer.

It remains a difficult deal for Spurs to do, given he has only been with the French giants for six months, but Roberts thinks that appointing the ex-Southampton boss would be a great move, and believes Levy would be right to swallow his pride to bring him back.

Speaking exclusively to **The Transfer Tavern**, he said: *“I think the chairman knows he made a mistake by letting him go so we keep our fingers crossed and I’m sure they’ll be negotiating.*

*“I think Paris are looking to see who they can bring in first before they sanction everything. It’d be really, really good for the club.”*
