I went to Bristol City, who by most measures should have expected Premier League football by now. The unfulfilled football potential of this city, and this club, is a cause for great wonder.

According to UEFA report, Tottenham wage bill is €148m. So you could double the wages of every single Tottenham player, they could sign seven new players on £100,000 a week, and they would *still* have a lower wage bill than Manchester City. That's why Pochettino gets praised.
