Pochettino will hope to set things right domestically by continuing his remarkable record against his former employers.But the Argentine will have to watch from the stands after he was given a two-game touchline ban for angrily confronting Mike Dean after the 2-1 defeat to Burnley. “I am in shock. I still think it’s unfair. I can do nothing,” he said.“I feel a bit sad with the punishment. I need to wait and see what they put on the letter and the reason to ban me with two games. That is unbelievable, no?”

That 250k would be sitting in all the clubs' bank accounts anyway! It's not as if the clubs had set aside that money to be used as charitable donations either.
