Pochettino: Nobody has lied to me at Spurs

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino insists he's happy in the job.

Spurs' lack of spending is a constant talking point as they try and make jump up to the next step and they look set to go through a second successive transfer window without making any signings.

But Pochettino is not complaining about lack of funds and insists he knew what he was getting into.

"When I signed at Tottenham, nobody lied to me," he said. "They told me, 'We need your help to finish the stadium and the facilities'. They said to me, 'We know very well that we are not going to provide everything that you deserve and you want'.

"They told me I had to understand the objective was to finish the stadium and then to try to make the club into the club that it wants to be. I think this is so difficult to understand!"
