Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan says Chelsea should stick with manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Jordan wrote for the Daily Mail: "Chelsea have spent a preposterous, obscene sum of money under their new owners and achieved very little.

"But despite their profligacy in the transfer market, I'm not surprised Mauricio Pochettino wants to spend again in the January transfer window.

"It's what managers do. It's like the scorpion and the frog. What do you expect to happen? Managers always want more, especially when they're working for people who spend money like water but still end up with a side incapable of scoring goals.

"Pochettino should be doing a better job but if he's not comfortable with what he's got and wants something better then you have to back him. Chelsea are in for a penny, they might as well be in for the pound.

"I'm not convinced about Pochettino and have my doubts he'll lead Chelsea to the promised land but having spent so long trying to get him and then giving him all this money to strengthen an already expensively assembled squad, you've got to have another twist of the dial."
