Warnock: Pochettino wrong man for Tottenham

Former Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock is critical of Tottenham's move for Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Warnock is not convinced Pochettino is the right man to fill the hot-seat at White Hart Lane.

"I don't think Pochettino is the answer because he's inexperienced," he told talkSPORT.

"To go to a club like Southampton, and I'm not being disrespectful to Southampton, there's no expectation.

"They've got young lads and they're going to sell one here or there whereas at Spurs there's so much expectation.

"Harry [Redknapp] got them fourth and they've been trying to get fourth ever since and they've been thinking they were doing the right thing sacking all these managers.

"I don't think Pochettino's got enough about him. It's too big a club for him to warrant getting that job. It's a massive gamble if [Daniel] Levy does it but he might be the only one available."
