Pochettino: Chelsea should be stripped of 2016-17 title, Tottenham crowned
–
Neutral summary
United States head coach Mauricio Pochettino has called for Chelsea to be stripped of the 2016-17 Premier League title and for the trophy to be handed to Tottenham, his former club. Chelsea admitted to 74 breaches of Football Association regulations over payments made during Roman Abramovich's ownership, including £47 million in secret payments to unregistered agents between 2011 and 2018. The club was fined £10 million but avoided a points deduction or retrospective action. Pochettino, who was Tottenham's manager that season, said: “We deserved to be champions.” He also revealed that Spurs contacted him earlier this year and that he would have returned even if they had been relegated. Separately, the Premier League announced its festive fixtures, with seven games scheduled for Boxing Day, including Tottenham vs Bournemouth and Manchester City vs Newcastle.
