Pochettino says Tottenham should receive 2016-17 Premier League title
x/mauricio-pochettino
— Sep 10, 2026

He has reiterated this stance across multiple outlets, maintaining Spurs finished second and deserved the title if Chelsea’s breaches are acknowledged as legitimate grounds for revisiting the award.

Lawmakers from both parties emphasize regulated, adult‑only access and industry groups urging a framework that protects consumers and preserves legitimate hemp products, including hemp beverages and CBD, during the delay.
