He said: "I still don't know why they got rid of in the first place. I think he was the right fit for Tottenham. I think back to the time when they played in the Champions League final against Liverpool and then after that there was no movement in the transfer market to really enhance the club.

"Sir Alex Ferguson always said if you stand still with the players you’ve got – you're falling behind. So you always need to keep striving to be better. That wasn't the case with Tottenham at that particular moment. They just didn't look to go further.

"Whether that was Pochettino's idea of not wanting to buy anyone or 's that he didn't want to spend any money on new players, who knows? But it's definitely a time when you need to enhance the squad, when you're doing well."

It is clear Sheringham would like to see Pochettino back in N17 to finish the job he started in 2014. Pochettino has gone on record on more than one occasion to say he would like to return to Spurs one day, claiming he has unfinished business at the club.

However, Sheringham also admitted his "love" for Postecoglou and that success in the Europa League this season is the only thing that will save him from the sack.

Sheringham added: "I love him. I love what he stands for. But he needs to win it. He needs to win it. He won’t deserve a statue, but it would make amends for a really tough season.

"Ange Postecoglou definitely needs to win the Europa League, the pressure is just piling up.

"They shouldn't be in the position that they're in in the league so anything other than winning the Europa League is not going to be good enough the way I see it for Ange Postecoglou."
