This idea that levy is some genius businessman is utter bollix. Personally, I don't think he does anything that anyone with half a brain cell and an incredibly valuable asset couldn't do.
Despite his "tough guy negotiator" narrative and refusing to sell to certain clubs the guy is ultimately gonna back down the moment Bayern arrive today. . He knows he can't give Kane what he wants, Is in no position to let him walk for free next summer (Thanks to Uncle Joe) and there's no chance Kane has a change of heart because he hasn't given Ange the players he needs.
They'll walk in today, Offer 75mln and the deal will take 5 Mins
Demanding a 100+mln... How facking stupid can you be ? You're in a position of zero leverage, Kane wont sign the new deal, because we all know he really wanted to go to United and can't create bidding war because you've ruled out selling to big PL clubs because you have a deluded sense of grandeur.
PATHETIC
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes. I think the days of Levy's legendary negotiating skills are both past and most likely were mega hyped up.
Probably more like continuously just saying no to every offer made to him forcing other chairmen to either punch walls in anger or just smash their heads against the wall.
I think Aulas of Lyon alluded to as much as did Alex Ferguson who said something like heart surgery was less painful lol
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Only good football decision Levy has made in the last decade that wasn't in the best interest of making himself rich was hiring Poch.
I wouldn't trust Daniel Levy to run a bath !
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And he stumbled on Poch remember that Poch was not his first choice. Van Gaal I believe was.
Pure luck to get Poch and the rest is history.
Bayern are told to add this young player in the bargaining chip, does anyone think this is a Frazier Campbell situation or this a genuine young talent worth adding to negotiations?

He's a major, major talent. There's no way in hell we're getting him. It's like saying we'll only sell Kane if we get Musiala as part of the deal. Never going to happen.

The model Levy adopts is exactly the same as Mike Ashley. In fact I'm pretty sure that they're close associates so I've no doubt that model policies had been shared when Ashley took over Newcastle. They both hide their intentions under the guise of being "financially responsible". They pretend that by making their respective clubs self-sustainable they're protecting its future. That's the headline. That's the propaganda. In truth though, they just don't want to put any of their own money in to generate success. Success of any kind takes funding. That's how you get the cogs turning and the hope is that eventually you CAN run a sustainable model by becoming a bigger club. Levy wants limited success. He's recognised that the financial disparity between 1st and 4th is marginal but 4th to 5th is a chasm. Therefore he only has to show ambition to get us in that position. It's financially motivated ambition, not footballing.
That model worked for a short time but now you have 3 doped clubs (still including Chelsea as they do have some Saudi money involved) plus a resurgent Arsenal, the traditional giants in United and Liverpool plus a whole host of ambitious newbies like Aston Villa. As things stand, we're showing the kind of financial ambition that frankly puts us outside the European qualifying places. From there the decline will get worse. Once you're out of Europe it's very hard to get back in without injecting funds beyond that which you accumulate through the club itself.
I really, really fear for us if ENIC stick around. Football has changed. Levy is now a mouse in a dogfight.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What a load of nonsense. Lots of clubs go in and out of European football. Don't mean anything. Spurs will be back in European football next season 100 per cent.

We've got to start making it impossible now. I get that we all want to give Ange the best possible chance but the only thing that will scare Levy will be dwindling attendance.
The lack of ambition shown in this transfer market with a new manager in place is frankly a joke. The only decent outlay is for Maddison but that's only because he's in his last year. Under normal circumstances, we'd never pay for his real value.
Villa are showing more ambition than us and they only gained promotion a few seasons ago.
If there are any Levy apologists out there left, I'd love to hear their reasons for backing him. He was a cautious bidder when football was more reasonable financially but now, with state money injected, he's way out of his depth.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dwindling attendances.
First three games sold out in an hour.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you put a frog in boiling water, it'll jump right out. If you drop it in to cold water and bring it to the boil, it'll stay in there oblivious to the fact that it's slowly dying.
That's you. As a Spurs fan under the ENIC model.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ouch, don't put it that way...This frog has feelings
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nah, this frog is just a wum. Whack the heat up to get it done quicker.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fridge, so you get called out, and you call it a Wum. Learn to debate without thinking you are always right.

Five CL places, two Europa and a Conference place available. So that's like eight places up for grabs. Spurs have only finished outside the top eight like once in 10 seasons. So why are you so confident they will this coming season?
And why are you bigging Villa up so much, just because they finished in the top 7 for the first time this century?

They have an excellent manager, have made some very good signings this have been on a upward trajectory and had the 3rd best record in the PL after Emery joined them.

Nope. There are four CL places, a Europa place and a Conference place. It's so competitive now that it's possible for teams outside the top four to then go on and win the CL or get an FA Cup. There's no guarantee that the places naturally drop to 7th or 8th anymore.
Also you're not factoring in that we're about to lose the best player we've ever had. A generational talent. We've not updated one of the worst defences in the league and are supposedly looking to replace Kane with Richy, who scored 1 Prem goal last year.
That's why there's absolutely no guarantee of Europe next year. In fact if we do, we'd be punching well above our financial weight. And yes, I mean even the conference league.

Yes. I think the days of Levy's legendary negotiating skills are both past and most likely were mega hyped up.
Probably more like continuously just saying no to every offer made to him forcing other chairmen to either punch walls in anger or just smash their heads against the wall.

The Only good football decision Levy has made in the last decade that wasn't in the best interest of making himself rich was hiring Poch.
I wouldn't trust Daniel Levy to run a bath !
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hiring Poch who won nothing in five seasons.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
True, but did a lot better than "serial winners Conte and Jose" while rebuilding a squad with a true identity while operating under the financial restraints of the stadium build.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All true Diamond but he never, ever wants to hear it. He's always hated Poch. His issue with him borders on obsessive to be honest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is very strange indeed!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I might be wrong, but I get the impression Sandy doesn't watch much football outside of Spurs. He clearly knows his stuff re his own team but some of his comments simply make zero sense when put into context with what's going on with other clubs. He seems oblivious to the momentum and progression other clubs are making as Spurs quite clearly lack a strategy (Our imbalanced squad and lack of joined up thinking) proves this.... Villa & Brighton being the best examples. His comment about Villa qualifying for Europe for the first time in years just smacks of ignorance of all things non-spurs

I don't think it will be confirmed for a while yet even if terms have been agreed to sell him. Levy will want it kept hushed up but the clue will be when we start getting linked to attacking players.

No, the clue will be when Levy spends anything over 30m on any player. The only reason we haven't pushed the button on a defender yet is probably because they need to know how much we have in the coffers. If they're meeting today and an 'agreement' is in place, then we'll likely see movement on defenders in the next week. That will tell us if Kane is off or not.
Exactly the same happened with the Bale money. I'm pretty sure we spent it before it was officially announced he was off.

Agony of not knowing...I wonder how Ange feels about it!
The only silver lining to this sale is that we've seen world class talent come and go before and the only time we've ever really had sustained success was when we had quality throughout the team, not relying on one outstanding player. The Kane 'era' has been infinitely more successful than the Bale era because throughout most of his tenure, in Kane's era we've largely had a balanced team, not a one man hero. He's drifted into the Bale 'one-man-team' role in the last 3 years or so and it never, ever works. We need to find balance again, even if that means losing our best ever player. It's not good for the self-esteem being told you're constantly punching above your weight. I want a squad of players who want to be here first and foremost.

This idea that levy is some genius businessman is utter bollix. Personally, I don't think he does anything that anyone with half a brain cell and an incredibly valuable asset couldn't do.
Despite his "tough guy negotiator" narrative and refusing to sell to certain clubs the guy is ultimately gonna back down the moment Bayern arrive today. . He knows he can't give Kane what he wants, Is in no position to let him walk for free next summer (Thanks to Uncle Joe) and there's no chance Kane has a change of heart because he hasn't given Ange the players he needs.

The model Levy adopts is exactly the same as Mike Ashley. In fact I'm pretty sure that they're close associates so I've no doubt that model policies had been shared when Ashley took over Newcastle. They both hide their intentions under the guise of being "financially responsible". They pretend that by making their respective clubs self-sustainable they're protecting its future. That's the headline. That's the propaganda. In truth though, they just don't want to put any of their own money in to generate success. Success of any kind takes funding. That's how you get the cogs turning and the hope is that eventually you CAN run a sustainable model by becoming a bigger club. Levy wants limited success. He's recognised that the financial disparity between 1st and 4th is marginal but 4th to 5th is a chasm. Therefore he only has to show ambition to get us in that position. It's financially motivated ambition, not footballing.
That model worked for a short time but now you have 3 doped clubs (still including Chelsea as they do have some Saudi money involved) plus a resurgent Arsenal, the traditional giants in United and Liverpool plus a whole host of ambitious newbies like Aston Villa. As things stand, we're showing the kind of financial ambition that frankly puts us outside the European qualifying places. From there the decline will get worse. Once you're out of Europe it's very hard to get back in without injecting funds beyond that which you accumulate through the club itself.
I really, really fear for us if ENIC stick around. Football has changed. Levy is now a mouse in a dogfight.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What a load of nonsense. Lots of clubs go in and out of European football. Don't mean anything. Spurs will be back in European football next season 100 per cent.

We've got to start making it impossible now. I get that we all want to give Ange the best possible chance but the only thing that will scare Levy will be dwindling attendance.
The lack of ambition shown in this transfer market with a new manager in place is frankly a joke. The only decent outlay is for Maddison but that's only because he's in his last year. Under normal circumstances, we'd never pay for his real value.
Villa are showing more ambition than us and they only gained promotion a few seasons ago.
If there are any Levy apologists out there left, I'd love to hear their reasons for backing him. He was a cautious bidder when football was more reasonable financially but now, with state money injected, he's way out of his depth.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dwindling attendances.
First three games sold out in an hour.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you put a frog in boiling water, it'll jump right out. If you drop it in to cold water and bring it to the boil, it'll stay in there oblivious to the fact that it's slowly dying.
That's you. As a Spurs fan under the ENIC model.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ouch, don't put it that way...This frog has feelings
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nah, this frog is just a wum. Whack the heat up to get it done quicker.

As things stand, we're showing the kind of financial ambition that frankly puts us outside the European qualifying places. From there the decline will get worse. Once you're out of Europe it's very hard to get back in without injecting funds beyond that which you accumulate through the club itself.
I really, really fear for us if ENIC stick around. Football has changed. Levy is now a mouse in a dogfight.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What a load of nonsense. Lots of clubs go in and out of European football. Don't mean anything. Spurs will be back in European football next season 100 per cent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
City
Arsenal
United
Liverpool
Chelsea
Newcastle
Villa
Spurs
Eight teams looking for a top six placing to get in Europe. We are by no means guaranteed to get in ahead of that lot.
The football world has changed Sandy. You've just missed it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Five CL places, two Europa and a Conference place available. So that's like eight places up for grabs. Spurs have only finished outside the top eight like once in 10 seasons. So why are you so confident they will this coming season?
And why are you bigging Villa up so much, just because they finished in the top 7 for the first time this century?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nope. There are four CL places, a Europa place and a Conference place. It's so competitive now that it's possible for teams outside the top four to then go on and win the CL or get an FA Cup. There's no guarantee that the places naturally drop to 7th or 8th anymore.
Also you're not factoring in that we're about to lose the best player we've ever had. A generational talent. We've not updated one of the worst defences in the league and are supposedly looking to replace Kane with Richy, who scored 1 Prem goal last year.
That's why there's absolutely no guarantee of Europe next year. In fact if we do, we'd be punching well above our financial weight. And yes, I mean even the conference league.

This idea that levy is some genius businessman is utter bollix. Personally, I don't think he does anything that anyone with half a brain cell and an incredibly valuable asset couldn't do.
Despite his "tough guy negotiator" narrative and refusing to sell to certain clubs the guy is ultimately gonna back down the moment Bayern arrive today. . He knows he can't give Kane what he wants, Is in no position to let him walk for free next summer (Thanks to Uncle Joe) and there's no chance Kane has a change of heart because he hasn't given Ange the players he needs.
They'll walk in today, Offer 75mln and the deal will take 5 Mins
Demanding a 100+mln... How facking stupid can you be ? You're in a position of zero leverage, Kane wont sign the new deal, because we all know he really wanted to go to United and can't create bidding war because you've ruled out selling to big PL clubs because you have a deluded sense of grandeur.
PATHETIC
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes. I think the days of Levy's legendary negotiating skills are both past and most likely were mega hyped up.
Probably more like continuously just saying no to every offer made to him forcing other chairmen to either punch walls in anger or just smash their heads against the wall.
I think Aulas of Lyon alluded to as much as did Alex Ferguson who said something like heart surgery was less painful lol
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Only good football decision Levy has made in the last decade that wasn't in the best interest of making himself rich was hiring Poch.
I wouldn't trust Daniel Levy to run a bath !
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hiring Poch who won nothing in five seasons.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
True, but did a lot better than "serial winners Conte and Jose" while rebuilding a squad with a true identity while operating under the financial restraints of the stadium build.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All true Diamond but he never, ever wants to hear it. He's always hated Poch. His issue with him borders on obsessive to be honest.

I might be wrong, but I get the impression Sandy doesn't watch much football outside of Spurs. He clearly knows his stuff re his own team but some of his comments simply make zero sense when put into context with what's going on with other clubs. He seems oblivious to the momentum and progression other clubs are making as Spurs quite clearly lack a strategy (Our imbalanced squad and lack of joined up thinking) proves this.... Villa & Brighton being the best examples. His comment about Villa qualifying for Europe for the first time in years just smacks of ignorance of all things non-spurs

I don't think it will be confirmed for a while yet even if terms have been agreed to sell him. Levy will want it kept hushed up but the clue will be when we start getting linked to attacking players.

No, the clue will be when Levy spends anything over 30m on any player. The only reason we haven't pushed the button on a defender yet is probably because they need to know how much we have in the coffers. If they're meeting today and an 'agreement' is in place, then we'll likely see movement on defenders in the next week. That will tell us if Kane is off or not.
Exactly the same happened with the Bale money. I'm pretty sure we spent it before it was officially announced he was off.

Agony of not knowing...I wonder how Ange feels about it!

The only silver lining to this sale is that we've seen world class talent come and go before and the only time we've ever really had sustained success was when we had quality throughout the team, not relying on one outstanding player. The Kane 'era' has been infinitely more successful than the Bale era because throughout most of his tenure, in Kane's era we've largely had a balanced team, not a one man hero. He's drifted into the Bale 'one-man-team' role in the last 3 years or so and it never, ever works. We need to find balance again, even if that means losing our best ever player. It's not good for the self-esteem being told you're constantly punching above your weight. I want a squad of players who want to be here first and foremost.

He did not do better, he won nothing in a longer period than both those other managers had.
