So far the debate has established a number of factions, all pushing their own questions and plausible answers. No matter how many times I keep referencing the Modern Slavery Act, there are still those who genuinely believe that Harry Kane can be told ‘you are staying and that’s it’, cue the outro music, and roll the credits.
Then we have the Recommended Retail Price merchants who believe that a price tag is somehow legally binding, and therefore if they read on one website that Kane is worth £120million, then that’s the magic number – and no magic number – then no sale. Obviously, none of these beauts have bought or sold a house.
Then we have the extremely movable feast that was Harry’s interview with Gary Neville; which depending upon which paragraph you might choose to quote, then he’s definitely staying or, definitely leaving.
Each of these viewpoints comes from anyone but the potential buyer.
What if, Pep Guardiola or whoever were to talk to Harry and effectively say, look, here’s the deal. ‘Our club can make the magic happen, we can take you where you want to go and when you’re a grandfather, you can show your grandkids a big box of winners medals… but here’s the thing. We don’t want you when you’re 29, or 30. We don’t want you once you’ve run yourself into the floor for another one or two seasons in return for nothing but Mr. Levy’s face-saving. Not only that, but we want this car, with these many miles on the clock, not this case when it has been driven all over the place by a club that cannot take proper care of it.’
Yes I agree.That then makes a mockery of FFP and clubs being self financing.Why bother playing 38 matches,why not just put sealed bids in to central office.
good If we can’t get 6th I want Levy’s embarrassment to be at a point he can’t hide the cracks
literally want all that’s left or nothing at all
Without any shenanigans/wishful thinking doesn’t it look likely we will finish below The *rse?
Oh. Wolves to beat Utd.
Textbook.
Wishful thinking I’m afraid.
It will be the four biggest spenders in the first four places.
I have been banging on about this in the past. The only meaningful change at THFC is if ENIC and Levy exit stage left or right. The only way they will make that decision is if all roads appear to lead to the time to exit. Any crumb of optimism sprinkled on the table of their Last Supper casts a ray of light for them to hang around and impose more penury upon us all. If all roads appear to lead to armageddon for ENIC then Uncle Joe could pull the plug and jettison Levy at the same time down the waste disposal shute of his gin palace tax domicile. The more pain that ENIC appears to be in will hopefully attract potential purchasers who may be able to leverage that pain into a sensible offer that is accepted. Of course, that statement is caveated by the possibility that the new owners have to be interested in realizing the potential of THFC as a brand and as a football club being successful at the very highest levels of the sport. That may be the only scenario that may make Kane hesitate and reconsider his position at the club going forwards.
One careful lady owner, not, just hand over the keys.
If Arsenal draw that will be a reprieve from complete disaster.
Leicester and Liverpool win and finish on 69 points. Scousers 4th on GD. Chelsea win, Arsenal win and finish on 13 defeats same as ENIC fc. City draw with Everton so ENIC fc finish 9th. That’s how I expect it to go.
