Pochettino gives himself brutal punishment after Chelsea

MAURICIO POCHETTINO must fork out thousands of pounds as an apology for copping a touchline ban today.

Chelsea’s boss is taking out his entire squad and staff for dinner after picking up three yellow cards for unruly behaviour this season.

Pochettino’s admission comes after he ‘fined’ Nicolas Jackson for getting suspended by sending the striker on a lengthy cross country run.

Pochettino said: “He knows why he had to run. And for me, I am going to pay for a dinner. I am going to pay for a dinner because I get suspended now and I cannot run. 

“I would prefer to pay. I am taking the players and the staff. It will be a lot.”

Pochettino is banned from the dugout at St James’ Park having been cautioned in games against Brighton, Burnley and most recently the 4-4 draw at home to Manchester City.
