Not sure why this is getting so many shit ratings. You’ve got to ask yourself, what is Daniel Levy’s perfect scenario? And the answer is cashing out on a player at the height of his powers. With this comes a fan backlash. So to soften the blow, let the player take the hit. The ‘gentleman’s agreement’ was the perfect opportunity to do this. Multi-million pound contract with one of the most ruthless negotiators in the industry and you make a rookie error of not getting it all officially in writing? It’s almost like you gave your brother the gig instead of someone with experience. The Kane Brothers fucked up and Levy will now reap the benefits. That’s why he’s rich for signing deals, it’s his talent, his golden boot. Had Levy sold Kane without Kane particularly wanting the move, it’s clearly a cash grab. But now there are fans screaming ‘get him out’. Kane is screaming ‘get me out’. And Levy is laughing all the way to the bank again. It’s knocking down the Lane all over again. We wouldn’t let him do that to our sacred home. Until he played the Stratford card. Then we begged him to tear it down. We’re being played. Again. And it won’t be the last time.
What? I must have missed something really important here...how much did City actually pay us in the end then? As far as I was aware, they've given us fuck all and the player is still here.
