Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
The mood is turning to mutiny again.
Levy will probably price Kane out of the move to try and avoid the mutiny.
The result being we can only afford a cheap CB and we will end up with a star player that doesn’t want to be here and a new CB that will struggle under the pressure.
Then Kane walks for free and there is no money to rebuild after him.
The centre back is Lenglet.
Get used to it.
Dier is also going nowhere.
Levy will sell Kane if he can.
Genuine Spurs supporters should not allow Levy and ENIC to get away with selling Harry Kane.
ENIC should sell the club at this point if they feel they can't match up with Kane's ambitions on the pitch.
We cannot just splash the cash like other clubs , our offer of 10 pounds , a free lap in a Go Kart and a copy of Daniel’s latest car crash video has been turned down by Blackburn for their prize asset Phillips. We are not going to be held to ransom by anyone , being held to ransom , that is expressly reserved for the fans

This is what I don't get,
Daniel Levy said all the extra revenue from the stadium, from football and third party events would go back into the team.
He said the new stadium was necessary to compete with Europe's elite.
So how is it, that one of the richest, and the most profitable club on earth, competing in the wealthiest, most lucrative league, with all this extra revenue...cannot afford quality upgrades in key positions without selling their star player.
It stinks.
I’m guessing you missed the Brexit vote then!
Levy and ENIC will not pay Harry Kane what he is truly worth in terms of his salary.
No way they would pay Kane 400k per week or more.
As soon as I heard that one a few weeks back I knew Kane was being sold or leaving for free.
ENIC FC are not interested in football.
Just here for the money.
The news about Lewis confirms that they are no better than Abramovich or City's owners.
ENIC's shit stinks.
Financial fair play my arse.
Think maybe our owners don’t always play with a straight bat
Hard to argue with but it’s also the most trite, boring, and repetitive shit going.
Is it just possible that false promises were made to generate leniency among the fans base to allow for a transfer window or two without signings while the stadium was being constructed, with ENIC knowing full well that a stadium built using CLUB money would inflate the clubs sell on value (which benefits ONLY ENIC)?
Until its being openly accepted and discussed by the majority of the fan base it's worth raising again and again.
Fans are being taken for a ride.
Not sure why there is this propensity to make out Levy as being somehow far more nefarious and calculating about why we are where we are when the most simple and likely answer is just sitting right there. It’s been a series of incompetent and wasteful decisions, which is ultimately just as bad.
I think transfer windows without signings goes against the original promise that stadium wouldn't impact spending.
Do you really think the majority of fans are satisfied? It’s probably the most discussed ongoing topic day in and day out across the fan base.
But that was mostly during the construction, right? Since then we’ve spent a bunch of money but just done it with pure incompetence and maybe a slight bit of just bad luck. I just don’t agree that we need to assign some other sense of malicious calculating plots to the ownership when just being really bad at your job from a footballing perspective is damning enough.
Also, I think the answer is staring us in the face.
From the beginning Levy said its not a passion project but an investment. ENIC are an investment company and do not see winning titles as a necessity nor prioritise it ahead of challenging for Europe.
The main drive behind the ENIC out protests is they want an owner with ambition to win. Nobody cares if they make money or take profit from the club if we win titles and enjoy footballing success.
I do agree but I also think the incompetence is driven by their necessity to run the club as an investment company first and foremost.
More often that not spurs' model has often been to avoid going the extra mile to buy the player that makes a difference. E.g. Bruno fernandes/dybala in Poch era, bastoni in conte era.
We then go and buy a dud and suffer the consequences.
If we really are prioritising on the pitch matters financially why are we about 400 million pounds under our FFP limit
Exactly. I don’t believe that Levy doesn’t want us to win trophies, but he will only try to accomplish it if it fits within our financial goals. The owners and the fans have two different worldviews and they aren’t compatible unless a small miracle occurs and we get fortunate where the finances and success on the pitch align. The closest we have or possibly will get to that was under Poch.
I don't think it requires a miracle, I think it requires years of making the right decisions in the market.
Aside from Leicester (and we know how well that was sustained) is there a team that has accomplished that mostly right decision making alone? Even then it was kind of a fluke.
You ultimately need both. Stupid decisions and high spend won’t get you there, and neither will smart decisions and low spend. We went from maybe better decision making and low spend to bigger spend but more inept decisions.
