Spurs are believed to want to reduce the amount in payments that they owe him due to the global pandemic which has hit the footballing world financially.
Indeed, Daniel Levy did reverse THFC’s decision to furlough non-playing staff, but has still highlighted the financial pressures that Tottenham face as they are unable to host events that might have been previously scheduled.
As per the Telegraph, the chairman has looked at budgets and cost-cutting, and the club’s board has taken on reductions in their own salaries amidst talks over the structure of Pochettino’s payment.
