Pochettino Calls for 2017 Title Reassignment
Former U.S. national team coach Mauricio Pochettino has proposed that the 2017 Premier League title be withdrawn from Chelsea due to violations of English Football Association rules, and awarded instead to Tottenham, who finished the season in second place. Pochettino, who managed Chelsea in the 2023/2024 season, accused the club of admitting to 74 legal breaches, including paying £47 million in secret payments to unregistered agents between 2011 and 2018, when the club was owned by Roman Abramovich. Despite a fine of £10 million without sporting sanctions, he believes the title should be reinstated to Tottenham, who scored the most goals in the season but did not win the league, finishing seven points behind Chelsea.
