Pochettino insists he ,ust have a say on who Chelsea buys and who Chelsea does not buy because….

Pochettino admits he has had nothing to do with transfers before July 1, with co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Lawrence Stewart in charge.

He said, “I think it is important to clarify the situation. When we met for the first time, we agreed at the start of July to start to work. Laurence, Paul and the owners presented the strategy plan for the squad, they asked me to start on July 1 and I agreed also.

“They started to work, the club, I didn’t, the club started to work and I think did a very good job. I am happy to work in this way with the plan they created, and of course, from now on July 1, I am going to be more involved. I am going to try to judge the situation and work more closely with Paul and Laurence for the best situation.

“The plan that they presented to me, when they were talking, there was many circumstances, different situations, things you care about, things I wasn’t informed on or didn’t know because I was outside of the football club. That’s why I trust in them. I said ‘you know better than me’. But from day one, first of July, I will be more informed. I’m not saying I will take all of the decisions. I think it will be easier to take all the decisions together.”
