One club has money to burn to win trophies and is willing to spend it. The other club has money as well but isnt willing to spend it.

Even though they spent the most amount of money in the summer and find themselves currently in 10th.
I love Spurs. If I was a star player with club I love, I would be dying win trophies with them as well. But if the chairman at the club doesnt share that same ambition, then I would question whether its worth it to remain at the club. Do i toil around at spurs and win nothing or leave and win something? Probably the question Harry is asking himself right now. He’s seen enough to know that Levy’s only desire is to make money and is extremely risk averse to spending to potentially make more money.
They have more problems than we do but give it another summer and a good manager, it will be completely different.

That's the thing. The "boyhood club" loyalty probably means Kane will give us the benefit of the doubt up to a point, but he's not going to sacrifice everything he wants to achieve (and earn) purely on that basis. If we're going backwards and a good opportunity comes up for him I can't imagine he wouldn't consider it.

Oh yeah great, another rebuild, more money to spend etc...
You do realise that is exactly what happened in the summer just gone and look when they are now.
Their problems run much deeper than merely a new manager and some new players.

Literally one of only four teams that can afford him. Pay him 500k a week. If they get Poch, buy him, Sancho and a decent DM, then are they really gonna be inferior? A spine

You sound like one of those Utd fans on RedCafe.
At united, that rebuild wont last 3 years. United has money to spend and willing to us it, an improved defense, a top CM to build around and 2 exciting forwards with room to grow. Spurs have money to soend but are unwilling to use it, have an exciting CM with potential, an aging defense, and 2 forwards reaching their primes. This all goes down to the board. Our’s is just unwilling to spend money like United’s are.

All well and good having money but if you can't attract the right players to the club, they were turned down by Eriksen, De Ligt, Sancho off the top of my head and ended up with Maguire, James, Wan Bisaka.
Time to face up to it, Utd are nowhere near where they used to be, no one takes them seriously anymore.
Their issue is manifested in the culture of the club and comes from the very top, Woodward.
So Poch or more pertinently Kane moving to Utd just doesn't make any sense, I suspect Kane would want to win trophies now, he's not going to do that at a club in a worse position than us immaterial of finances and 'potential' their standing as a club just isn't what it was.

If anything, doesn’t from the CL final to now show how quickly things can change in football. Really, if they get rid of Ole, get Poch, have a spine of De Gea, Maguire, Pogba, Kane and Sancho are we really saying they’ll still be shite?
Their financial power will eventually tell if Woodward stops making stupid calls.

A lot of if's there and ha at the bold.
Despite that if that were to happen and get on an even keel with us you've still got the small matter of catching up City and Liverpool which is the same problem we're facing now.

We’ll see. In the end, I don’t really care where Kane goes if he’s not here. But I wouldn’t be as surprised as you to see United make it happen.

Until summer January 2023, at which point Kane is 29 going 30 and has 18 months left on his deal, there is no way Kane leaves for anything which doesn’t completely eclipse whatever the world record transfer is at that time. He’s a guaranteed 25 league goals + per season if not massively injury hit, and you can add another minimum 5-10 in any other league on earth, he is a leader, he is massively professional and as England captain and a World Cup too scorer he is ridiculously marketable. I don’t even see City/ PSG paying what Levy would ask, and I don’t think Harry would throw a public wobbler to the level required to reduce that fee either, considering even Bale was a world record, Berbatov a British record, etc etc.

I don't see how you can say we're unwilling to spend when we've spent a billion pounds on the stadium. Have United spent that much in the last few years? I know you're specifically talking about transfers, but we can't ignore where our money has been going.
The money we could spend on transfers was obviously limited while we were building the stadium, but now we're back at WHL things should change. We spent over £100M in the summer for a start. The extra income that we're generating now should mean that we have money to invest in players in the future.
