But how much is difficult to guess, because the noises coming from Pochettino are that he’s growing tired of devoting his considerable talent to keeping Spurs in the top four and banging his head against a glass ceiling.

Liverpool post £106 million world record net profit
Liverpool posted a world record-breaking £106 million ($137 million) net profit last year even after spending £190 million on new players, according to financial results announced on Friday.
