When Mauricio Pochettino led Tottenham out for the Champions League final against Liverpool in June, you could scarcely have believed that just six months later he would be sacked and replaced by Jose Mourinho.

Fletcher said Mourinho asked people their honest views on him and thinks this will impact him on his managerial return.
