The Harry Kane interview with Redknapp Jnr was neither random nor without meaning. It was just as dreadfully deliberate as that Marlboro product placement in Superman II.
No matter how many times the “He’s one of our own” is belted out at the Client Reference Number Arena, the grim reality of Harry Kane’s intentions can no longer be cognitively dissonanced away.
The buck stops with our illustrious leader and right now, the moment that Daniel Levy sells Harry Kane feels wonderfully* inevitable.
This interview – as I believe I called it earlier today – was fair warning. Professional footballers want money and honours. Anyone bored with hearing this theory will undoubtedly see Kane’s interview as benign. See Kane as a benign fellow. One of our own.
*I use the word wonderfully not because I want Kane gone. Far from it. What I have always sought is for fans to wake up to the rather grim reality of being run ENIC.
What a curiously deluded way for anyone to view a professional world.
These fans appear to agree.
Levy is a cheapskate working in a competitive sports industry. Of course he has to pretend to be ambitious, however the last 20 years expose that charade without question. Anyone who hasn’t twigged yet is an idiot…
On Levy’s track record I reckon your hopes will be dashed.
He fired jol first real chance when he took us forward I think he’d be content staying fourth with the illusion of challenging. The higher we rise the more his del boy tactics shine. It’s like a second hand car dealer convincing someone their Bugatti veyron is only worth £2,000 pound then trying to sell his Ford fiesta for the same amount.
Enic out
Exactly that, always keep the manager slightly challenged rather than give him what he wants. Easier to boot out. In fact does Levy actually want a manager to win stuff with us? How can he sack a manager that’s smashing it?
ENIC OUT.
I hope that the Kane Money is spent wisely.
Nope cant see it either levy always has the excuse ready and a manager to fire
My reckoning is that Levy will never fund the team to challenge for top honours.
We got close on a tiny budget with a manager that got a younger and relatively cheaply assembled team playing brilliantly for a few seasons. Then the lack of investment came home to roost and it went stale for all involved.
Now he has a manager who has never worked that way, presumably Levy needs to spend far more to back Jose.
This is now a transfer market where a mid-table squad player can cost you 25m. Ready to go top quality no less than 65m a pop. Not gonna happen…
Your use of the word inevitable hurts, not because it’s wrong but because this is 100% avoidable, this was 100% a just as simple as give me the chance and I’ll give you everything. He kept his end levy hasnt kept his. Levy is why this is inevitable, because levy cant change. The middle class gift is the top class curse. It is del boy putting on a suit and acting posh.
Gentlemen our dear leader does not want Harry Kane to leave the club, in fact he wants Harry to retire as a one club hero ala Matt Le Tissier, but if Harry Kane does not want to honour the terms of the very generous four year contract which he freely and knowingly entered into and demands a transfer then our dear leader will be forced much against his will to do what is best for Harry and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Never fear dear Spurs fans, all the transfer funds from Harry Kanes’ move will be wisely reinvested. Yes dear fans “endeavour to persevere”.
