Levy: Get On With It And Sell Kane So We Can All Move On [opinion]

By The Boy -

Hannibal Lecter: Remarkable boy. I do admire your courage. I think I’ll eat your heart.

Harry Kane’s interview with Jamie Redknapp was no innocent digital chit chat. It was a device to give Daniel Levy a fair warning. An alternate, opposite view might be that our talismanic boy is some Spurs obsessed dummy, happy to wear out the rest of his professional years in pursuit of that elusive treat, “jam tomorrow’.

The Daily Mail has rustled up the figure of £200million as the number required to spark Kane’s transfer out of N17 and into the squad of a rival. Personally I believe the eventual fee will be far less. The effective, yet frequently one dimensional 26-year-old comes with baggage, not of his doing.

Kane, like virtually every exiting Spurs’ ace before him, has been chained to the glum reality of having NEVER lifted a trophy. NEWSFLASH: Spurs don’t sell winners. They sell prospects.

Carrick, Modriç, Bale… all had huge CV bumps once they walked out of Haringey. Harry Kane is the next one to shuffle out the ENIC door.

Yeah I meant look at the money involved on the turn of the millennium though. Thats when the money started ramping up. Thats when they took us over. Probably tv rights same as the jump recently.. 92-2000 the beginning of the prem the big money wasnt there.. Enic formed around 97, well predicted by the Bahama stock market boys.

You’re about 10 years out Stevie mate, Premier League was formed in 92.

The Premier League definitely was the start of more and more non football people, non fans etc and big money coming in of course and ENIC are one of those for sure…

Notice enic took over 2001. Just when the old first division changed to the premier league. The exact same time when money was being pumped in to the english game.

No wonder Sugar was so excited about ENIC. Same mindset, same single trophy too, only over a longer period!

TO LOVE SPURS – IS TO HATE ENIC

Teddy didnt leave to win stuff. He would have stayed but sugar treated him like dirt. Ignored him until his contract ran out. While sir alex was constantly on his case. Said in his autobiography he didnt want to leave, but his contract ran out and he was offered nothing..so he took manures offer which had been on the table for weeks. Sheringham despised sugar saying he treated players the same as computer parts/accessories.. As soon as sugar left then teddy came straight back. Sugar was more of a disaster than scrooge.

Kane loves the club, wants to win big things with us. The main obstacle to that is the actual level of footballing ambition of Levy and ENIC which does not match those of people like him, or get anywhere near it.

Teddy left for Utd in the 90’s to go and win stuff while Sugar still owned us. 25 years later, 20 of those under ENIC and nothing has changed whatsoever.

Despite training grounds and stadiums, the reality is the same. No ambition other than to keep the punters turning up while they redevelop North Tottenham…

I predict another decade of expectation management, Europa League and bargain bucket deals unless ENIC sell. This current crisis makes that prospect even less likely any time soon.

All very disheartening.

ENIC don’t have the balls to be winners, never have done, never will do…

Belgian season ended, Juventus have said they won’t accept the Scudetto if the season is ended early. The Premier League seem intent on destroying whatever small vestiges of goodwill they retain. The mob with pitchforks and blazing torches is growing restless.

The government scheme was not designated for PL clubs and their business model. Effectively cutting support staff’s salary by 20% by two very rich men sends out a very poor signal even though it is true to their nature. Levy has also mothballed the entire recruitment department which also sends out the wrong signal to any existing player who erroneously believes that there is any football ambition at Spurs apart from finishing in the top four. The only upside that I can see from Levy’s disgusting behaviour is that if anybody was naïve enough that Levy was anything other than a money grasping, greedy, nasty little man, the scales have been removed from their eyes. I hope Joe Lewis is enjoying himself sunbathing on his yacht in the Bahamas. Revolting is the only description for the pair of them.

Think he made a mistake by cutting non playing staff wages, surely a club the size of Tottenham could afford to pay them for two months. He also made a mistake in taking a twenty per cent pay cut himself, which to be fair is substantial, but if the players follow the lead of Barcelona and take a seventy per cent cut Levy will not be winning many friends. The directors of Barcelona didn’t have to take a pay cut, as they are unpaid. The players could also take their lead from the chairman and take a twenty per cent cut which I don’t think would go down well. Funny that though Levy is better paid than a lot of the players he chooses to lump himself in with the ordinary workers.

Belgian Pro League cancelled current standings will stand, with relegation and promotion to be decided by committee.

You suggest cutting season ticket prices for next season which sounds sensible, I think it makes sense. But I’m no business man and don’t think like one. A business man might think, next season my takings will be down, how can I make up for that. Got it, increase season tickets, the fans can’t go anywhere else, can they, its not like if you’re fed up with Sainsburys you can shop in Aldi. Someone very wise said having football fans as your customers is a brilliant business model because they’re locked in (usually) for life, come hell or high water.

Nah.

Win something with Kane.

If he was sold the best we could hope for is 200 mill on another load of prospects or beetles dung and that gives Levy ready made jam tomorrow excuses.

Jose will have been well and truly shafted if Kanes moved on.

I’m not sure about the Sky deal for the Premier League, but if the season isn’t completed in Spain the clubs forfeit £500 million. The deals for De Jong et al won’t happen because he won’t match the wages they are on. Plus he’s already told us that there will be few transfers in the summer, nothing new there then. The only clubs with money still to spend will be Man City and PSG and they will probably be hampered by the Financial Fair Play rules ( stop laughing at the back there Harry).

Does the TV money from Sky, approx. £750 mill, not depend on whether the season is completed ? If completed, then the English clubs will be in a better financial position than their Continental counterparts. I am not sure what Kane is worth, as I suspect, sadly, he is not quite the player he was, but he won’t be flogged to death at another club as he has been by the charlatan Levy. I can’t see him waiting another season, as Levy has already stated there will be less money for transfers and I think the interview was a clear signal he’s off. On another note, if I was Levy, I would be trying to take advantage of the financial mess the Italian and Spanish clubs are in by signing some top players. De Ligt, Juve, Frenkie de Yong, Barca, Joao Felix, Atletico, for example, instead of trawling the French lower leagues, but that won’t happen, as he has mothballed the entire recruitment team, including Hichen. John McDermott leaving as well signals to me that Teflon Levyis losing his grip. As he has managed to make himself one of the most reviled men in football, if he wasn’t already, what about cutting ticket prices for next season as a sign of goodwill?

If Kane was sold for £150m in the summer and Rose,Kwp,Foyth,Dier and Vertonghen(free) also left we would have over £200m to spend on Upamecano£50m,Grealish£50m,Atal£25m,Edouard£25m,Chilwell£50m.If Levy wanted to spend £50m he could do worse than spend it on Jovic. New Lb,RB,CB, Creative mid and two strikers nett spend £50m.

If you don’t think it’s too girly, I recommend O’Keefes hand cream, great for cracked hands, Boots stock it, a bit pricey though.

There is no club paying £200 million this summer, with clubs income non existent. I think Harry will stay for one more year and if he picks up more injuries then the price will decline even further, I think we will do well to get £120 million in a years time. There is only player in the world who could come anywhere near £200 million and that is Kylian Mbappe.

The reason why these players are wanted by the best is just ignored by those who want to rubbish them on the way out.

There’ll be the usual effort to pretend spurs will be better off without him, despite the whole world knowing he wants out because it’s a team going nowhere. “Yeah but daniel gonna bring in far better replacements and we gonna dominate…”
Round and round, repeat til fade ….

You left Kyle Walker out of that list, often criticised on this and other blogs and not just for his football abilities. I won’t use his nickname, but Kyle wasn’t as dim as painted. He saw through the jam tomorrow spiel long before many others.
