The abrupt nature of Mauricio Pochettino's departure from Tottenham was illustrated by the fact that the Argentine was forced to leave a farewell message on a flip chart for his players rather than arrange a face-to-face goodbye.
Sports Agenda understands Poch privately went a step further, asking Spurs' goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, one of the players closest to the manager, to post a message on a WhatsApp group used by the squad with an open invite to his house. The likes of Harry Kane, Eric Dier and Dele Alli have already taken their ex-boss up on the offer.
Meanwhile Jose Mourinho's claims that he had received 50 texts of support from Manchester United staff after taking over from Pochettino at Spurs caused much spluttering at Old Trafford.
One United insider remarked: 'The sentiment here when he left was very much "don't let the door hit your backside on the way out".'
They also pointed out that Mourinho's comment to BT Sport — in which he said that when he arrived at United their Under 23s had been relegated — had not gone unnoticed and had given them a reminder of his true colours.

Mourinho is gone and sure the door didn't hit his backside but I believe if Man U have minded their own business Man U would have noticed that the door hit them in the face when Mourinho walked out that door... they fished sixth exactly where he left them and only God knows where Man U will finish this season... God help Man U qualify for Europa at least...

True gent. Let’s not even wonder what they chatted about! It’s better not to think about it. At worst poch was saying when he comes back to spurs in 3 years time that Harry best still be there
