Video Reaction – “OMD” “There in body, not in spirit” Bad Vibes Triggered For Some By Spurs’ Ace

By The Boy -

Harry Kane’s aborted exit from N17 this summer has cast somewhat of a shadow, as fans have naturally been monitoring the England captain’s performances. In summary, there hasn’t been a whole lot to analyze. This season, Kane has managed just one Premier League goal and one assist, both against Newcastle United.

Against Burnley, the one-time Tottenham talisman looked woefully off the pace and his two shots at Turf Moor were distinctly out of character – to put it mildly.

I take a view that Daniel Levy’s tough stance against Manchester City’s possible interest has ultimately backfired. Perhaps a deal can be done in January, so Harry can recover his career, rather than watch it fizzle out entirely.

I would of welcomed the decision to sell Kane at circa 140 mill.. we add it to the 60mill we spent & that’s 200 mill for a squad refresh…. now we have circa 10mill a year in wages going out to someone who doesnt want to be there… wonder what levys thinking now after our latest drubbing..🤔

After working for over a decade in Professional football and most of those years at Spurs I can tell you good players want to win stuff of note. Not the Audi cup. Yes, money is a big factor nowadays but silverware is a major part of their thinking. Kane is already a multi millionaire. His focus now is finishing a career with silverware.

The club is now a Financial Institution borrowing will be accessed to acquire more land..while the team flounders. Football is secondary unfortunately keeping Kane is a promise example of this . Two more seasons at Spurs will see him knackered.
Kappelmeister Levy doesn’t care ..his plans lay elsewhere.

By giving him a platform you mean the opportunity to play for the club. In that case you are correct but the club have failed him by the chronic lack of investment in the playing staff which demonstrates that despite the weasel words of our chairman he and Lewis see the club as an investment vehicle to enrich themselves rather than chasing honours and they only care about money.
This can be demonstrated by the numerous charts available on the net showing investment in players versus trophies won where we rank lowest in investment but also we have failed to win silverware. Fact is player investment is the most important criteria in winning titles.
Whatever the club has or hasn’t achieved in his time at the club without his commitment and goals would have been significantly less. Without a stand in replacement, too expensive in Levy world, he’s had to play nearly every game resulting in injuries that he’s played through on many occasions.
There are many at Spurs who perhaps don’t give of their all but Harry’s loyalty and commitment to the club until recently has been outstanding.
We have a chairman who is more interested in the Deloitte league rather than the premier one, like all bean counters and that must sadden an elite athlete like Harry. In such a scenario like all people in employment he is entitled to look for opportunities elsewhere.
Blaming Harry for the clubs lack of success is in my view wide of the mark and the blame needs to aimed at the lack of investment and poor recruitment at the club

All the sh$t in the ninety’s Levyologists never even acknowledge the terrible luck there was in that period 95/99 … nevermind the finances, the injury’s we had were ridiculous. Having to play Rory Allen , Nethercott etc. Remember Mabbutt broke his leg in August or some such, it was carnage at times. Don’t think Francis got to play his strongest side hardly. Ossie was fun and games…..not like the dishwater now.

Rubbish, if it was about the money he’d be gone by now when he was at his prime. He’s one of out own who loves his club, a genuine lad and not obsessed with money, But a footballers career is relatively short and there is not that long to collect the trophies and winners medals.
He’s given Levy lots of time to back the managers but it’s obvious that was never in his plans. The only surprise to me is how long it’s taken for the penny to drop with H.
As for all that waffling about Lancs and rain my suggestion would be to say a lot less, what’s the old saying about bullshine baffling brains?

Kane is a spent force at Spurs overplayed based on over reliance. Both Kane and Son are ageing..they have been the saviours of the club too long.
The travedy is the lack of investment for a younger brilliant forward earlier on,.
What Spurs should be working on now is a methodology that means more players score more goals more often…when Kane goes which is hopefully soon.

Under ENIC; when Spurs have had players on the books that graduate into world class / top players, while under contract, Levy has consistently opted to sell this type of player rather than pay the going rate, in respect of wages, for a top player.

Levy’s trademark manoeuvre was to get this type of player to sign a long term deal just at the point that they were about to turn from a caterpillar into a butterfly. He perfected this with Carrick, Berbatov, Modric and Bale. Players that were never quite at the same level as these players were retained on affordable wages that kept the whole thing ticking over.

What happened by the time Poch turned up was that Spurs somehow managed to assemble a first 11 that every other club in the league would want. There was never any hope of Levy paying all these players the wages they deserved. He trapped some on long deals and he sold a few to give others a pay rise in the short term.

That plan has now gone pear shaped and it looks as though Levy is now in the process of removing all the significant wage earners from the pay roll and attempting to spin the jam tomorrow project to a new generation at the Colosseum. Telling him to sell Kane is not the right thing to do here.

Spurs need to concentrate on developing a squad which produces more goals from more players rather than relying Kane and Son , both ageing ( had their best seasons for a while we finished 7 th) , who are fast becoming a defenders dream. Been milked too often too long.

With the club stating the ‘ rebuild is going to take years’ it worries me that Kane won’t be sold and will be lumbering around the park disinterested and costing us around 120 mil in rebuilding dosh.
Should’ve let him go taken the cash….stadium naming rights ..hmmm wonder how much big business will want to be associated with Spurs and Levy..the club would be so much better off with Daniel gone…new broom for old rubbish..Levy doesn’t know what he is doing and what’s more he doesn’t care.
If we go for the throat straight off v Utd we may get a couple up..

Levy love in? I am not defending Levy in any way shape or form.

Levy had the sense to keep his mouth shut about the potential transfer of Kane.

Harry blew it with the golf interview. It was as cynical, if not worse, than anything I’ve ever seen any footballer do to force the issue.

Harry Kane signed a contract. You have to negotiate your way out of a contract. There are huge sums of money involved and what was really going on was that Kane was probably approached and offered personal terms that appealed to him. However; City were clearly not prepared to meet the market value for Kane if 70 million was their best offer. So Kane’s potential wages were dependent upon City getting Kane at a knock down fee.

That was and is my reading of the situation. City were never prepared to pay Kane the wages he wanted and pay Levy the fee he wanted.

As a supporter; once a player doesn’t want to play for my club, and goes to the lengths that Kane did to force the issue, I expect the club to be strong and get the best deal they can do.

TBF Kane has been grossly overplayed because of our bizarre policy of only ever having one out and out striker on our books for the most part. On the rare occasions we have had a back-up striker then he’s not been of the quality to start.
This short-sighted and unique in the PL policy has led to Kane’s tiredness and an increase in injuries over the last few seasons without a doubt. To the point when his absences from the first team have become almost predictable.
It’s not just Kane either, this also goes for other important positions in the team. This all combines to make us jaded and tired, not to mention injury riddled, at the time when trophies are normally won – the back end of the season.
Only one man is responsible for this shortsightedness.

The real irony is that Kane got his chance because the board were too tight to bring back Berbatov’s wages. Sherwood managed to ‘talk them out of it’. Of course he did. Levy out thought by Sherwood ffs.

Some people lap all this stuff up. Others see through it because we are forced to live in the real world and have to negotiate our own deals to get through it.

How’d Spurs not give Kane a platform?
Im not defending the club, but he’s played in the Champions League, Europa League, Premier League, cup finals and semi finals, he’s become England captain and likely to end up as England’s top scorer, and yes that’s by his own amazing abilities, but the platform was provided by Spurs, so where Spurs haven’t won anything, they have given him and others the platform you suggest.
When players bump their gums moaning they’ve won sod all, it really grated on me.
As fans, we can’t alter any given result, but the players are in a very privileged position in actuality being able to change score lines, but to then moan they didn’t win it and the club let them down, the responsibility always seems to be some body else’s fault.

So they want to leave and get a pot at a guaranteed club.

And we’re supposed to be grateful?

Kane earns on one week what it takes me over 5 years to do and he can’t be arsed to put some effort in.

PEH even had to kick his arse v Burnley to pressure the Burnley attack cos Kane’s head is up his own arse.

Apologies, but I can’t agree with you in the platform thought.

This is true but sadly for professional footballers one of the downsides of signing a long contract is that it is a gamble. It is tough for Harry to feel as though he is trapped into staying at Spurs because he thought we would be winning but this situation is not Nelson Mandela in terms of an injustice.

Just as Kane is stuck with Spurs; Spurs are stuck with N’dombele and Lo Celso. Will these guys tear up their contracts and ‘do the right thing’ by the club? Of course not.

Harry Kane may well have made a mistake or error of judgement when he signed a long term deal with THFC. However; he did sign a long term contract and he has not covered himself in glory in the manner he has attempted to renege on that contract and force a move away from Spurs. If you buy into the story that this is just about winning things that is for your own judgement to decide.

For me this has everything to do with money from Levy’s perspective and Harry Kane’s. Everything else is just rhetoric, speculation and cynicism in an attempt to force the issue by people who have a dog in the fight.

The best outcome for Spurs is to retain Harry Kane and move on.

The shame is Harry really is one of own. Most of the players who left for pastures new were in truth guns for hire such as Berbatov, Modric and Bale. They owed nothing to the club gave great value and when the club couldn’t satisfy their ambitions they moved on. They saw Spurs as a stepping stone. In a perfect world I believe Harry would have wanted to be a one club player but we have failed to give him an appropriate platform for his talents

If Levy doesn’t let him go in January then he is a very cold hearted individual indeed. He owes Kane big time, the striker has single handedly carried us through many seasons and worked his socks off to give us hope of a trophy despite never having any back up striker to take the pressure off him.
Levy’s gross stupidity in keeping H against his wishes has backfired spectacularly and his prize asset is now worth considerably less than he would have been in the summer.

I watched Ole at his press conference yesterday. I was left wondering how on earth he got the job in the first place. He has not got a clue about talking to the media. Totally unconvincing. I don’t want to be unkind about him on a personal level, because I think he is probably a nice guy, but I did think to myself that it is so obvious he is so out of his depth that he would have a job persuading the very young United players that he actually knew what he was doing; never mind the experienced professionals.

Ole’s credibility is very low in my opinion. No track record as a manager and seems to lack the basic skills to do the job. At best he is a front man for the organisation who delegates everything to people who actually know what they are doing. If he talks to the United players in the dressing room, in the manner he spoke publicly yesterday, I doubt they genuinely respect him. I also doubt United’s board can let this go on for much longer.

Newcastle looking for a manager has focussed United’s search in my opinion. They need to move quickly if they want to beat the Toon to the best available man. Spurs need to capitalize today and exploit the current weakness at United.

Harry has carried the club over the last few years. Without his goals (and assists last year) we would have been bottom half relegation material. He signed his contract under a different management company but in hindsight should have insisted on a break clause or a buyout clause. I know people say Levy doesn’t do buyout clauses but in a contract of that length it might have been given some consideration. When he signed that deal things looked a whole lot better. Despite playing away from home (Wembley) we’d qualified for the champions league and the move into the new stadium promised the release of money or as Danny boy said was a game changer. At that stage Harry knew he was f.cked.
Clearly Danny should have stuck to building projects with his kids Lego rather than the stadium and the overspend and delays through his incompetence changed the outlook and we had the no spend window. At any other club that would have meant him resigning but Tottenham has all the accountability of North Korea.
It should be noted that our owner could have helped finance the stadium either by funding or at worst providing an interest free loan which would have skirted round FFP and allowed squad investment. However he expects the fans to pay for increasing the value of his investment. He will be sorely missed when he goes.

Owners and players come and go. The club is constant. What has happened under Levy and ENIC in their 20 years is that the WHL capacity was increased, above the 44,000 that their initial review recommended for the ‘five year plan’, and Spurs have achieved regular Champions League qualification which was a further aim and objective that ENIC identified when they arrived.

I remember all of this because when ENIC should have been held to account, for taking significantly longer than the 5 estimated years to achieve their initial objectives, I was a season ticket holder who was adversely affected by their methods and found the Supporters Trust to be an organisation that just looked the other way and held their noses in silence while ENIC rode roughshod over everything that the average supporter would have expected from the club.

Levy and ENIC have fooled nobody. They have consistently treated all supporters, some managers and some players very badly over a sustained period of time.

Where I am in complete agreement with the landlord of this blog is that the time for getting these people out passed some time ago. That ship sailed while we were all listening to Poch when he was ‘berry appy’.

As I have said; the treatment of Martin Jol was far enough for me in this jam tomorrow parallel universe. I had seen enough 13.5 years ago to convince me these people were ONLY serious about looking after their own interests.

It has all happened in plain site and what disappoints me the most is that their methods were unopposed, ignored and tolerated until they had actually achieved what they promised in the first place; 15 years later than planned. It is also a sad fact that their dreadful methods have delivered plaudits about Spurs being a ‘well run club’ or ‘the best run club in the country’.

THFC has been turned into a revenue generating theme park and we all watched it happen. Too late to complain I’m afraid.

Levy would have to replace Kane adequately for the rest of this season and the next two. I saw the list of candidates Spurs were linked with; if they could get them. All were significantly inferior to Kane.

If Levy had signed a player like Ings and sold Kane to Man City for the reported 70 – 100 million how do we think that would have gone?

As a Spurs supporter I’d rather keep Kane at Spurs until 2024, than hire Danny Ings or similar, and let Kane go to City or similar. Harry Kane at 31 will be in no position to dictate terms to any club prepared to offer him a contract. Levy should move heaven and earth to keep Kane, add better players and offer Kane an improved deal.

Selling Harry Kane does not help Spurs.

Sorry I took so long to reply. I’ve been passing on dossiers about all of you to ENIC’s bureau of investigation. Your doors will be going in during the early hours if you fail to comply with Mr Levy’s wishes to crush all resistance to his empire.

You have been warned. I’m the good cop.

That could all be true but Kane did have choices. He signed the 6 year deal and none of us really know why he made that decision. The media repeat the stuff about Kane’s brother but there are other stories that suggest Kane’s brother had absolutely no involvement in that deal.

One thing that has crossed my mind is that Kane must have consulted with Poch before agreeing to sign that 6 year deal. Maybe this is how Kane became caught in the web. The players who earned top 4 finishes collectively were not the same after Poch started feeling the pressure and was then sacked.

Spurs became a less attractive option for these players once Poch was gone but a deal is a deal.You either honour it or you don’t. If Kane is deliberately forgetting how to score league goals then that is a terrible plan. Personally I don’t believe that.

Kane came initially broke into a team that loved the manager, was on the up and everything was positive. The situation now is that Kane has played under 4 different managers in 2 years and there is aggro at the club left, right and centre. I think Kane’s mentality and poor form can be explained by this and this alone.

He doesn’t know where Spurs are going and he is probably aware that Man City would have doubled his Spurs salary. If any of us were in that situation with our employment I think the current outcome would probably be the same. Kane needs to get back on the horse and bang in a few goals for Spurs before he damages his reputation any further.

His head was turned. It happens. If he sulks and lets us down he will tarnish his Spurs credentials forever. He needs to bang a few goals in and turn it around. I anticipate that is what will happen. Hopefully starting today.

Ultimately no player is bigger than the club… Levy has played a blinder here in that Kanes value will drop by 50% over 12 months…lots of events needed at the entertainment complex to cover that…. it will not help in shirt sales or stadium naming rights either. It’s rather interesting Nuno has publicly questioned the attitude of those not in the starting 11… Didnt Mourinho do that…? How did that pan out?

Most left because they were too good for us. We never improved the squad to compliment those talents and they knew it.

BTW other than cash, their walls are lined with winners medals. I doubt ENIC even bothered installing a trophy cabinet at the shopping centre

Man City only offered £70m. People here would have lost their minds if Levy had accepted that.

This ain’t Harry Kane FC. I wouldn’t have begrudged him a move last summer, but the way he went about it was all wrong. I couldn’t care less if his career fizzles out now, he is partly to blame for that himself

Hello, Mrs Levy. Is that you? That Dan’s been a very naughty boy. He should have stuck to selling shiny suits with his dad.

Deffo connected to the club this guy. It’s a change of tactic, he’s attempting to get people to agree with him on unrelated matters to curry favour and then build his positive narrative around ENIC…

So the ‘usually’ that applied over 25 years ago still applies now does it?

In that case what have Levy and ENIC actually changed in their 23 year tenure as owners? We are still the less attractive club that aren’t challenging today, as we were then?

You make no sense.

Lied to, led up the garden path. A couple of seasons ago Kane was fully on board, he didn’t sign that 6 year deal thinking he’d want out by now. No way.

Despite all this “Kane’s bruvva messed it up mate” stuff, it wasn’t that exactly. Naivety played its part though, the naivety of trusting Levy and of wanting to win stuff at the club…

Kane thought something genuine was happening at the club after he made his name under Pochettino. The gradual neglect and decline over the years since can only lead any sane person to one conclusion, this is a train headed absolutely nowhere of any note…

You are either from the THFC PR Dept or you are trolling this blog.

Levy’s position as chairman is his for as long as he wants it. He’s had no compunction selling our best players in the past, so how you reach the conclusion that Kane’s departure would some how see him out the door is quite frankly ridiculous.

As for wanting Kane to stay when clearly he wants out just like all our best players in the last 22 years is as ridiculous as thinking Levy thought it’d be a bridge to far for him.

Our best players leave not for money. They leave because they’re at the top of their game and they want something to show for their career when it ends. The bigger pay packet comes with that because the respective clubs that sign them recognise their worth.

I can’t think of a player (best) who’s left us and not gone on to win more than the Audi cup. My god, Kyle Walker won the PL before the season had ended such was the speed of his success.

Isn’t that life for all of us. When you are employed in any capacity you are exploited to the benefit of the employer to one degree or another. Kane signed a 6 year deal which he decided he didn’t want to honour. He had choices. He chose the golf with Neville.

Our best players leave for more money usually. I think Kane is no different in this respect. Spurs have the 6th biggest budget in the EPL. The players who left for United and Sulzeer J Campbell got more when they left at clubs with bigger budgets. The others went to Spain. More money; less tax.

Dear lord. Why do you think our best players always want to leave? Then see the average response to whether keeping Kane was a good move. I read you were recovering from something but please lay off the strong drugs before posting.

The golfing trip with Neville changed my mind about Kane. It’s all about the money. Kane has shown himself to be no better or worse than Levy. He’s just proved he’s not as cunning. Levy works in the shadows, keeps his mouth shut and a low profile. Harry was just stupid to do that interview. Levy’s given him a proper cnuting over like he did when Rose had his google outburst.

I honestly think that Levy knew he wouldn’t get away with selling Kane. If Kane had gone to City and we had to watch him batter goals in for them and pick up trophies then what would we now be saying and who would we blame?

Levy knows how to survive. He must have felt as though he personally couldn’t survive the sale of Kane in the long term. The other important issue is that Kane was not transferred in so there was never a fee payed for him in the first place.

I would rather Spurs kept Kane until his contract runs out in 2024. Selling our best players has to stop and we have to start paying our best players the going rate.

I feel for him. He’s been betrayed. For a great pro, the lack of respect is probably still burning.

Agreed. Also you can fall out of love with stuff in life or be attracted to something different where you think, believe, hope that your dreams are more likely to be realised. Harry is Spurs through and through and so this current set up must all be pretty wretched for him I guess.

He’s seen what ENIC are. It’s demotivating and to be the best you need that something extra. Levy threw Harry’s in the bin.

Bravo. ENIC out. Harry has been a magnificent servant to the club. One of our own. I will miss him when he’s gone.

Can’t hold anyone against their will, it’s as simple as that. Never mind contracts, they are always re-negotiable. If DL wants you gone there are ways to do it-look what happened with Rose and Aurier as recent examples. If DL wants you to stay and you want to go you get Berbatov, you get Modric, you get Bale. All miserable situations. Now he has Kane. Big mistake, should have taken the money which, if £130m is to be believed, was already a lot given Kane’s age and recent injury record. It seems to me that DL simply does not learn from past experience, he is a poor chairman imho. Kane will find his own way to leave; it may not be sulks or fake injury but simply not scoring so much, being just that yard off the pace, not winning headers, not tackling as much, not pressing so hard, not defending quite so well or just shooting wildly off target as in the clip above. We’ve seen it already. It will just become more obvious.

No real Spurs fan will blame HK, those who making noises against great Kane is Levy Lovers that is very clear. Kane has given Tottenham all he could and was serious and honest what and where he wanted in his future, while baldy is playing games and tricks with the best player Spurs had under Enic/Levy tenure. now Baldy is still in the dirty game by using his apologists to go after Kane it won’t work simple King Harry Kane is very ambitious and wants to win anything for the last days in his career and that lies outside of Tottenham, while Bald Levy is busy playing his tricks and dirty manoeuvres as he was doing last +20 years with Zero(0) ambition in football terms with Tottenham.
