No greater threat to the joy and success ON THE PITCH to Tottenham than Daniel Levy and ENIC.
I remember growing up watching the likes of Defoe, Keane etc. and always feeling like we just needed that one level above in striker to be real players. We had very good strikers, not world class.
Along comes Kane, an absolute model professional and perfect striker for a team to go and win things. What did ENIC do? They milked it for everything they could. Instead of matching Kane with the quality he was at, we've bled every ounce of sweat from Kane possible.
It almost all fell into place, Poch trained a team of youngsters into stars and ENIC hit the jackpot. Hardly spend any money and this manager will keep us competing? This was what ENIC dreamed when they bought the club - LIMITED BUDGET, HIGH PERFORMANCE. As long as profits rolled in, 1st place and 4th place didn't mean all that different.
We have kept Kane on ice these last few years, just to keep us at a level which keeps the profits coming in.
Now a day before the season starts, we've agreed to let Kane go because next year for nothing is just not in question for ENIC, too much money being left on the table.
We will survive as a club, we may have a brilliant season and better than we have the last few years. But it will always feel hollow deep down because we was gifted a generational striker that will not just come around again and instead of complimenting him, we dripped him dry until he gave up hope of ever winning with us.
Kane isn't bigger than Tottenham, but tottenham are not ENIC or Levy and he will always be bigger to spurs than this dictator we've been under the grips of for years.
I go into a new season angry at the ownership, they're just have no ambition to win anything and 4th place for them is a trophy and will always be good enough for them.
