Kane goes, game over for me. Don’t want to watch him in any shirt in the prem next season and won’t be investing any more money in Spurs. Not sure Spurs fans realise how damaging this will be
I don't think he's going anywhere anyway just yet. All the more reliable ITKs are saying there's zero chance. He's 100% staying until next summer unless a team from abroad miraculously stumps up £150M+. Levy will not sell to a rival this summer for anything below that amount which they just won't pay.

So what happens if he gets a major injury or starts to fade as he hits his thirties? You sound like an 8 year old that hasn't dealt with the selling of a major player before. We've sold so many top class players before and yes, it's painful, but we recover and go again. This was always just a matter of time. You have to say it's remarkable we've managed to keep hold of a player this good for as long we have without silverware. Under normal circumstances, we'd have lost him about 3 years ago. We'll come again, and you'll fall in love with the team again.
I get the sentiment, I hate the idea that Kane might be playing for another team next year. That being said, he's given us impeccable service and we've failed to match his ambition as a club - I don't begrudge him wanting to go elsewhere (though if he goes, I hope it's abroad).
Ultimately I just don't think that this board has the money or time to fund the additions in a timescale that would satisfy Kane (due to its own mismanagement) - especially under new management.

Nope, I sound like a supporter that’s sick and tired of the direction the owners and chairman are steering us. I’m fed up of being the lowest net spenders in the league and this is the fall out from it. This didn’t have to happen if that bald c*** actually invested properly in the team. Harry Kane wouldn’t have to move, but this is on the club. It’s a disaster getting rid of him.

Don, when Bale left for Real Madrid I was at the same stage you are now with Kane. The trick is to never get too emotionally attached to any player hence why I have looked at the positives if Kane does ever leave.
I have read some of your posts in the past and you think he is the best in world. Fair enough but at end of the day he will leave or retire from us one day. There is no certainty he will leave this summer or the next especially when he is a year older.
Chill for now and enjoy the last two games. Should he leave the only way is up because that feeling will be the lowest of the low. It cannot get any worse!
Ps you smchuuuuck!
We’ve sold some seriously good players over the years... Sheringham, Modric, Carrick & Berbatov... though none as great as Kane, or as important!!
This is 100% all on Levy and ENIC, we have the best centre forward in the world and should be building a team around him to win the PL. Instead we bring in dross like Doherty and retain dross like Sissoko.
Levy has been selling our players a dream for years, without ever actually having the intention of fulfilling it.
ENIC OUT.
Don
I get your passion, but there is no way Spurs are going to go out and spend big this coming season. They simply do not have the money. I really would not want the very existence of my club put at risk for a bit of short term gain. Spurs will carry on, and hopefully successfully in the future, long after Kane departs.
Jimmy Greaves left, and Spurs won three trophies in three seasons immediately after he went. No one player is ever greater than the club.

Don, 2019 is calling, it wants its tired old cliches about Spurs not spending back.
2020/21
Spent £100m
SOld £12m
+ Bale and Vinicius on loan
2019/20
Spent £133,
Sold £60
Sold net spend of about £150m over 2 years, av. £75m a season since the Stadium opened its doors.
This exceeds what the likes of Liverpool have spent on av. over the last 4 years+
We are now no longer Net Spend champions and haven't been for a while.
The problems are more specific than this lazy criticism that we don't spend and raise questions about our recruitment/scouting, our general policy towards squad management and the management of the existing squad of players itself.
But sure, its all Levys fault and ENICs fault! That's about as simplistic as having your car break down and expecting the CEO of the company to step down because of it.

I don't think it's ever as bad as it's made out in these situations Don. We were even more reliant on Bale the last time he was here than we are with Kane now, and we sold him for big money and wasted a lot of it, yet still emerged to become a better team.
Not that it wouldn't be a blow to lose Kane and I'd want to keep him obviously, I just find there's often a lot of hyperbole thrown round about how bad it will get if we lose him, and it never usually gets that bad.
Congrats on the baby by the way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Absolutely correct. Lots of nonsense being bandied about that if Kane leaves Spurs will collapse, and supporters saying they are not going to support the club again. What a load of nonsense. Spurs will be fine. I mean it is not as if they have been cleaning up with Kane in the side.
I like Kane a lot, but if he goes, he goes, it will not be any really big deal to me. I have seen plenty of better players them him leave or retire over my 62 years of support.

Don, unless Kane is planning to stay and play at Spurs until he is 80, he will be gone no matter in a few seasons, even if he stays at Spurs and retires. So if he stays and then retires a Spurs player, will you then stop supporting Spurs?
With all due respect mate, players come and go, that`s how football has worked for 150 years.

We are a banter club pure and simple. Kane goes, we are literally going nowhere. We need to replace 30 goals a season and much more. Think of that for a second.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don, Bobby Smith left, Jimmy Greaves left, Martin Chivers left, Clive Allen left, Gary Linker left etc etc. They all banged in goals for fun. Spurs moved on and replaced everyone of them. I think you are being a bit dramatic.

This is nothing new, Don. We've sold our best players before and bounced back. We sold Bale and a couple of years later we hit our most fruitful period. Whilst not the case at the moment, the stadium will pay dividends and we will be able to cling to the big boys. We might have to go through 2-3 seasons of painful change where we finish outside Europe but I've every faith we'll be back. Making rash financial decisions in a really difficult climate just to satisfy a player that has clearly outgrown us is just plain ridiculous. It's unrealistic. He will not sign a new deal so keeping it him for too long will see the only saleable asset we have lose value. At best we get one more season out of him and then we sell. It actually makes more sense to sell and spread those costs throughout the team a little more. There's a major imbalance and I think it's unhealthy. We relied to much on Bale first time around and the same is happening again. When a big player leaves, new ones come in and others step up. It's never the kind of disaster you're describing. It's football at our level. We've never really been at the top table so this is just inevitable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well said.
I mean it is not like Kane is the only top player Spurs have ever had.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
if the CEO gives you a sub standard car, the chances are it will break down, so the book stops with the CEO.
It is the same with players, we spend money, but not on the correct players, we settle for 2nd and 3rd choice alternatives instead of going the extra mile to bring in first choice quality targets.
This comes from the very top, most of the time you pay for what you get.
Sandy, I think you are very naive mate if you think Spurs will come out stronger with Kane going. Another rival being strengthened. Footy is a lot different from the Greaves days mate where there wasn’t super power clubs like there is now. It’s now a lot harder to break into that category and be challenging honours. Selling a player like Kane sets us back 10 years. It’s not just Harry, but the fall out from it. Who the hell will want to manage a club that’s selling their prized asset ? I think you Spurs fans are going to be in for a huge shock if we sell him in thinking this club can move forward because we really won’t. It’s going to be a huge loss.
Us being weaker after losing Kane depends on if we get Potter or not.

You have to say it's remarkable we've managed to keep hold of a player this good for as long we have without silverware. Under normal circumstances, we'd have lost him about 3 years ago. We'll come again, and you'll fall in love with the team again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nope, I sound like a supporter that’s sick and tired of the direction the owners and chairman are steering us. I’m fed up of being the lowest net spenders in the league and this is the fall out from it. This didn’t have to happen if that bald c*** actually invested properly in the team. Harry Kane wouldn’t have to move, but this is on the club. It’s a disaster getting rid of him.

Don, 2019 is calling, it wants its tired old cliches about Spurs not spending back.
2020/21
Spent £100m
SOld £12m
+ Bale and Vinicius on loan
2019/20
Spent £133,
Sold £60
Sold net spend of about £150m over 2 years, av. £75m a season since the Stadium opened its doors.
This exceeds what the likes of Liverpool have spent on av. over the last 4 years+
We are now no longer Net Spend champions and haven't been for a while.
The problems are more specific than this lazy criticism that we don't spend and raise questions about our recruitment/scouting, our general policy towards squad management and the management of the existing squad of players itself.
But sure, its all Levys fault and ENICs fault! That's about as simplistic as having your car break down and expecting the CEO of the company to step down because of it.

No player is irreplaceable. He's already 28 ffs - in a few years he'll be gone no matter what. He can and will be replaced.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No he won’t. Who the f** are we replacing him with ? Please enlighten me
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don, unless Kane is planning to stay and play at Spurs until he is 80, he will be gone no matter in a few seasons, even if he stays at Spurs and retires. So if he stays and then retires a Spurs player, will you then stop supporting Spurs?
With all due respect mate, players come and go, that`s how football has worked for 150 years.

We are a banter club pure and simple. Kane goes, we are literally going nowhere. We need to replace 30 goals a season and much more. Think of that for a second.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don, Bobby Smith left, Jimmy Greaves left, Martin Chivers left, Clive Allen left, Gary Linker left etc etc. They all banged in goals for fun. Spurs moved on and replaced everyone of them. I think you are being a bit dramatic.

This is nothing new, Don. We've sold our best players before and bounced back. We sold Bale and a couple of years later we hit our most fruitful period. Whilst not the case at the moment, the stadium will pay dividends and we will be able to cling to the big boys. We might have to go through 2-3 seasons of painful change where we finish outside Europe but I've every faith we'll be back. Making rash financial decisions in a really difficult climate just to satisfy a player that has clearly outgrown us is just plain ridiculous. It's unrealistic. He will not sign a new deal so keeping it him for too long will see the only saleable asset we have lose value. At best we get one more season out of him and then we sell. It actually makes more sense to sell and spread those costs throughout the team a little more. There's a major imbalance and I think it's unhealthy. We relied to much on Bale first time around and the same is happening again. When a big player leaves, new ones come in and others step up. It's never the kind of disaster you're describing. It's football at our level. We've never really been at the top table so this is just inevitable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well said.
I mean it is not like Kane is the only top player Spurs have ever had.

Kane goes, game over for me. Don’t want to watch him in any shirt in the prem next season and won’t be investing any more money in Spurs. Not sure Spurs fans realise how damaging this will be

if the CEO gives you a sub standard car, the chances are it will break down, so the book stops with the CEO.
It is the same with players, we spend money, but not on the correct players, we settle for 2nd and 3rd choice alternatives instead of going the extra mile to bring in first choice quality targets.
This comes from the very top, most of the time you pay for what you get.

Sandy, I think you are very naive mate if you think Spurs will come out stronger with Kane going. Another rival being strengthened. Footy is a lot different from the Greaves days mate where there wasn’t super power clubs like there is now. It’s now a lot harder to break into that category and be challenging honours. Selling a player like Kane sets us back 10 years. It’s not just Harry, but the fall out from it. Who the hell will want to manage a club that’s selling their prized asset ? I think you Spurs fans are going to be in for a huge shock if we sell him in thinking this club can move forward because we really won’t. It’s going to be a huge loss.

Us being weaker after losing Kane depends on if we get Potter or not.
