He was apparently instrumental in Poch getting booted and the club pandered to his wishes by getting Mourinho in, then he basically went in a massive mood when hiring Nuno, and I expect Conte was brought into satisfy Kane again.

I think the tin-foil hat stuff with Levy needs to take a chill. It's the wrong thread.

"Harry Kane personally orchestrated multiple midseason sackings and dictated the club's manager for most of a decade": hard truths that serious-minded people need to accept and reckon with.

"Daniel Levy tries to cut corners and spend less money on the Tottenham squad": outrageous and baseless tinfoil hat stuff that's irresponsible to suggest.

Eze contract runs until June 2027, 2 years away. So Eze has little control over situation - would he be prepared to go on strike and would Palace with 2 years left on his contract.

The release contract of £68m is apparently payable in one payment up front - I doubt if too many clubs could pay that

So unless Palace want to sell, I can't see them negotiating

There's already a big thread for people to obsess away in about how Daniel Levy made them miss a bus and lose their car keys. It doesn't need to bleed in to here off the back of an off-hand comment relating to footballers signing long contracts.

Perhaps not, and I obviously want him backed and with input on the players being brought in.

But "damn the torpedoes, outbid United for this one specific guy I am connected with and is the perfect fit for my ideas" is exactly what we DIDN'T hire with Frank.

We hired a guy who could make a functioning team out of whatever value the recruitment staff could identify in the market to maximize our funds. Which is what he did at Brentford.

I just don't see Mbeumo for 70M and big wages as maximizing our funds. We could get Eze or Xavi Simons or Rafael Leao for that money and I think those are better footballers.

How many wingers score 20 goals in a season these days? Son did at one time, Salah still does. £70m sounds ok to me.

I do to be honest. I love every player that comes in and plays for the shirt but it makes it more special when the young players come from our academy. One of my favourite games last season was the game the 3 academy lads scored in the EL

That's fair. As I posted, we do love to see one of our own making it. However, as long as we have top talent coming through, whilst it might be nicer for them to be our own, as long as they're doing the business for Spurs then I'm happy regardless.
