Short of spending 300 million - there is nothing that Levy can do to guarantee success in the next couple of seasons and unfortunately that is what Kane is aiming for - he wants to win something in the next couple of seasons.

We could fluke a cup but that would need luck, which unfortunately is in short supply at Spurs.

I'm going to be gutted when he leaves, but conversely, Kane leaving and giving us a half decent transfer budget may actually in the long run give us more chance of success.

How the fuck this club can win sweet FA is actually incredible if you think about it.

For a 4 year period we had all these players, playing together in their absolute prime:

Kane
Eriksen
Lloris
Vertonghen
Toby
Dele
Son
Dembele

It is criminal that we haven't won anything with those resources.........when you look at Leicester with the Premier League and FA Cup in that same period.
 
As with us fans, I'm afraid that for Kane too that ship has sailed. Levy has fucked up way too many times now to trust in him.

After watching the interview I get the feeling it's all down to Levy and Kane knows that.

The positive thing is that Kane doesn't feel in a rush. With 7-8 years left playing by his own estimation, leaving in 1-2 years if there's no progress might not be the biggest problem for him - still time to win a lot and probably get a better salary as a result of a lower transfer fee.

I seem to remember Kane putting a similar kind of pressure on Levy 1 or 2 seasons ago, to which Levy responded by splashing out on ultimately below par players - but the intention was there.

Bring in a manager Harry is happy with, 1-3 experienced top level players - and I believe he will buy in to it for another season with the threat of leaving growing all the time before things improve.
 
Man, the cognitive dissonance is strong in here, Levy will be acutely aware this is the crescendo of Kane’s value, top scorer and assists, it will be tough for everyone but unless we can leverage a 150m injection for 3 top tier players and two 2nd tier, no way he doesn’t push hard to go.

My belief is he will never be better than now all round, or 4years ago as a pure forward, so let him pay for phase1 of our long overdue overhaul, plus he’s a major injury waiting to happen, if you simply factor in healing decline, he can’t play 50+games unless our technical team suddenly become world class, not likely unless we get Ragnick.

This happened around 2006 with the Lakers. Kobe told the owners, you either build a serious team around me or I’m out. Owners did and the Lakers ended up winning a championship.
