Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Once the fans and Sponsors have seen Kane on this tour, the deal gets done.

He goes to Bayern. Adidas is his new boot sponsor.

Question is what Spurs do with the cash.
I've done some quick maths, if we get £100,000,000, we could buy 250,000,000 Wham bars from Tesco

I have never seen a footballing comment from Joe Lewis and yet the Telegraph have said that this self made man has given Levy an ultimatum that if Kane does not sign a contract then he must be sold. If true this would be a massive mistake as it gives all the power to the Buyer. It would result in a lower price as we are forced to sell in the same way those clubs in financial difficulties get screwed as they have to sell. Would a man that has made a fortune and never talks football really do this? Yet all the media are reporting it as if it is true and all buyers will now limit their bids. The club must come out and dismiss this story whether they want to sell or not.
Seems rather suspect. Does Lewis remember he owns a football team? Cannot remember reading anything from him about the club. Levy runs the show and kicks up the profits.

Levy's legacy will be Poch at Chelsea, Kane at Bayern, a return to a mid-table side, but concerts and karting
 
Can you not appreciate anything ENIC has done? Again I’m not being cunty wunty here, just a genuine question, they took over when many other sides were ahead of us and have fell far, far behind.
We have improved (We could hardly have got much worse after the dead hand of Surallan FFS)

But the pace of improvement has been GLACIAL

We have improved during the years of good managers (go figure).

Levy has recruited 2 of those in 25 years

Redknapp (forced on Levy as we were in dire straits and heading for relegation under One Day)
And of course Poch.

We have had horribly wasted years under so many others.

So: 2 good managers in, and how many in total?

We have a very good stadium and a very good training set up. Yes, I'll give you those.

I could have done a better job, and a darn sight quicker too.

You wouldnt have a brand new stadium, but we;d have won some tin and WHL would be like a bearpit
 
It's easy to point at the scouts and say that they did a bad job scouting him. And maybe they did. But given that Poch personally pushed for him there may also be the possibility that he ignored any and all warnings regarding Tanguy's personality. He wouldn't be the first manager to do that in the history of football.

My personal take is a bit of both.
What Poch said or did is largely speculative on our part but I'm quite confident in saying cumulatively there was not enough due diligence on that signing (and others).
