This is so dragging on till deadline day
All the stories have come from Manchester reporters...
Nah. Once it’s inevitable Ange will stop playing him and speed up the process.This is so dragging on till deadline day
Aren’t they all in the states right now?All the stories have come from Manchester reporters...
Yeah the club would never do anything like that, like when after months of Nagelsmann rumours the club briefed the media that they don't intend to meet with him and that he's not a candidate at all. Because obviously one of the best young managers in world football that likes the club, talked up the job etc isn't going to be considered for the job, clearly he's terribleWhy would the club issue a briefing that portrays the club ownership in a bad light?
This isn’t going to save Levy Flack.This could all be kabuki theatre if we’ve decided to sell and are close to agreeing a fee with Bayern/PSG.
First Ange says he wants it sorted quickly, then the press is briefed that Uncle Joe demands he be sold rather than allowed to go on a free. Both of these contribute to a perception that the decision was out of Levy’s hands and that he is not responsible for losing one of the top players in the club’s history.
And so the groundwork is laid for the deal to be announced without it coming as a surprise, and with Levy insulated somewhat from potential blowback.
In fairness, Levy is going to get hammered on literally any possible outcome with Kane. Even if he signed a new deal he'll get it sooner or later.This isn’t going to save Levy Flack.

Now I don't know what's going on here, but you're completely forgetting that it's run by people and people make bad decisions all the time, there isn't some omniscient farseer being consulted that always makes the right decisions
Losing a £100m asset might cause him to sit up…Lewis never gets involved with transfers or pretty much anything on the football side
It’s also a rather silly thing to make-up out of nothing - since it would be rather easy to deny. Lies don’t tend to be that specific.Yeah efinitely a untied leak or push.
Ain't no way a couple of journos from Manchester know what a guy on a boat on the Bahamas is thinking...
The club spinning a narrative is one thing, the spin being effective is another entirely.This isn’t going to save Levy Flack.
I've heard absolutely nothing on the Kane situation but personal opinion is he leaves now. I don't see him signing a new contract and Ange does want it sorted ASAP! I'll say it again, this is not info, it's purely a gut feeling.
Aren't his wages already at least 200k?Why not offer Kane a 1 year extension that adds a $50M buyout next season in return for upping his wages $200K per week for this season.
Kicking the can. Let's just pull the band aid offWhy not offer Kane a 1 year extension that adds a $50M buyout next season in return for upping his wages $200K per week for this season.
A $50M buyout is low enough to create a bidding war for him next season should he choose not to re-up with Spurs while still allowing Spurs to retain value.
Kane gets a 1 year raise (an extra $10M) and the opportunity to pick his landing spot.
Spurs get one more season with some financial protection and the opportunity to convince Kane that we have a path to trophies.
Does that not seem a plausible path?
