It's amazing isn't it...... Compare to the attitude towards us being cunts for not wanting to pay the asking price for Romero.
I thought must Spurs were aware of Levy backing out of promises before and why are so many calling for him and Lewis to leave think because?
In case you did not know it ....players & staff sign agreements with clubs that won't allow them to speak of what's going on behind the curtain.
Mourinho takes swipe at Tottenham as he suggests he was "misled" by Levy
Ex-Spurs manager Jose Mourinho has suggested he was "misled" at the Premier League club to undertake projects and that the job was "mission impossible"
www.mirror.co.uk
Former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho feels "misled" about the path of projects he has taken up in the past which could point to Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.
Mourinho was appointed at Tottenham in 2019 but was sacked after 17 months in charge during a disappointing campaign for the Londoners.
The self-proclaimed Special One is now in charge at Roma and has been speaking about some of his old clubs.
He told GQ Portugal : "I make mistakes sometimes, I haven't always chosen the right project, or I may have been misled about the path of some projects.
"I've made mistakes or I've been led in a dishonest way into accepting what I shouldn't have, but in the end it's all the same.
"These aren't my words, they were said by someone who was much more important than me: Whoever has goals and drive, will never grow older.
"I still can't believe that I have 30 years of experience in professional football, or that I am 58 years old, because I am always renewing my motivation."
Just a fact: Bale also had 3 years left on his contract when he - by, among other means, kipped training - managed to force a move to Real Madrid...
I bet Levy couldn't believe his luck yesterday when Kane didn't show up.
In one move, Kane has put all of the fans negativity on his back and given Levy a 'get out of jail' free card.
Levy can sit back and look the fans in the eyes and say "we refused to sell.... But Kane made the position untenable....."
Round one to Levy

Tired of this now and I don't want this rumbling on until deadline day, overshadowing preparation for the season and delaying the time to get a replacement in.
Either Kane is gone for an English record fee or we are left with an unhappy player. Yes we can hold him to his contract, but to those who believe he will remain professional it is one thing said, another thing done. If his heart isn't in it with the fine margins in top level sport he won't be the same player.
Take the £130m and let's move on and prepare for the season ahead

You not think it odd that while all this stuff leaks (floods!) out; no-one knows what was in this fabled gentleman's agreement?
Cake and eat it.
Frankly, he'll still do a good enough - enough being operative - job because he's clearly motivated by EPL individual records as much as team trophies. Why else city and only city? He's not guaranteed to score for fun anywhere else in the EPL because no team has that much creativity in their mid.
130 is a slap in the face. 150 or nothing. Harry can get benched if he doesn't play well enough. We'll be fine with Son leading the line and Gil dribbling defences into madness.
Honestly, I’m getting sick of Kane if this is his attitude. I’m no fan of Levy but why should he sell Kane to City for a cut rate price?
Fuck those UAE oil-princes that own Man City. They literally did nothing to earn their enormous wealth and power. At least Roman had to struggle and use strong-arm tactics to get his money.

This kind of sums it up for me, in line with what you have said too.
Interesting that you feel Kane's camp briefed parts of that piece, I feel it's the complete opposite, that Spurs are the one's briefing about him turning up late last pre-season (wasn't reported at the time) as it points to an example to his is ambivalence towards the Club. It was only yesterday that we learned that PEH and Lo Celso had come back EARLIER than they should have this season!!! Contrast the two, what will end up sitting well with supporters?
So according to The Athletic Levy will only sell for £150m and that's to a team abroad - an English team will need to shell out more.
I think that's just posturing but I wouldn't put it past Levy to stick to his guns and Kane stays another season.
In reality I think he would take 150m from City too. It will just depend how it arrives: 100m plus Laporte? 125m and Ake?
It will need to be a deal that Levy can realistically argue has put the squad in a better position.
If true that City have only bid 100m or 60m plus a player that's an insult and all the weirdos on here that think we need to accept that need to get their head checked.

Not really.
Why do ourselves out of £130million and stick a player on the bench when we could use the money to rebuild the squad.
Put it like this : If there is genuine confidence in Paratici and Nuno, sell Kane and whoever else and give them the money to totally rebuild the squad.
Sooner or later we'll lose our safety blanket and need to find someone else. Isn't it better to do it with as much money in the bank as possible?
I think it's posturing - we will sell to Man City if we can get the fee we want. But yes it needs to be a deal that works for us and we can argue realistically improved the team.
130 million when people know you have 130 million isn't a lot at all in today's market. We would be lucky to get two talented up and comers, neither of which would be even near a guaranteed "world class" player in the future.
Liverpool invested the Coutinho money wisely. But they got paid fair market value.
We got paid fair market value for Bale. Sure we squandered it, but it was fair.
We will sell to City if they pay close to a world record fee, which in my opinion they wont
This is not ENIC’s fault. They built a team who took us to levels we had not seen in the previous 25 years. Champions League final and 2nd in the league was places we haven’t been In my lifetime. The credit for this doesn’t just fall on Poch and Kane, For people who don’t see ENIC as part of that are delusional.
It absolutely was reported at the time that he turned up late last pre season.
Harry Kane in quarantine and out of Tottenham training after Bahamas trip
Harry Kane defends decision to stay in the Bahamas which caused him to miss the start of Tottenham's pre-season
Of course we kept our irritation private, but it was widely reported that he chose to stay in the Bahamas and finish his holiday rather than return early to avoid quarantine.
