Worth noting that the Spurs Web listed there won't be the original Spurs Web that was going back in the 00s. I used to moderate a small forum back then called THFCtalk, and when the old rivals.net site closed, our site owner invited them all over to our forum, then nabbed the SpursWeb name.

He then left the site to its own devices, it became a cesspit, and I eventually abandoned it and started posting full time on here.

A real shame, because in its Jol era hey day, THFCtalk was awesome.
I always wondered what happened to thespursweb.com!!!

Seriously this leak won't be the Kane's. He's an easy target right now but there's no way this is down to them. They've just taken on a very well run and experienced PR firm to look after them and no way would they advise or allow this. Also this doesn't benefit him one bit his fight is not with Nuno.

If I was looking anywhere it would be directly towards Ndombele/Aurier.

Ha, I bet you lot thought I was going to say Winks didn't you.
Aurier? Have I missed something? Has he been that kind of guy? ?

Kane may want to move but the club must not suffer financially.
Losing Kane could equate to a lose of revenue this should be compensated when calculating his price. City needs to understand this. With the 150+ value should cover any possible shortfall that THFC may suffer without Kane. Not only league position but other shirt sales/sponsorships.

Ok I've read back and I still don't know what has been said about the manager, it appears that it's something reported in the sun so I absolutely believe it to be bollocks. Why do people let the sun dictate how they behave towards Spurs players?
Does Harry Kane want to go to a successful club? Well yes I'd have thought so, why would he want to stick around for yet another new five year project? Will he stay and play if City won't pay? Yes he will, we know he will and the sun ain't gonna tell me to think otherwise.

Random story but I found out the other day that SIMB is ran and owned by someone I vaguely work with, would never have known. Don’t think it’s a very big forum though?

I joined SIMB in the late 1990s when it was started by Andrew Ace. I was there for several years but left as nobody was moderating the racist comments from the likes of “Nick from Enfield”.

I hate Harry Kane. He’s a child. Just done with him at this point. Fuck off you prick. You want to move so badly, hand in a transfer request or pull a Webster, you fraud. City refuse to pay up. Eat shit, Harry. Hope we sign a decent striker & let this clown rot on the bench all season like Dele did last year.


Yeah baby!

Serge would never say anything bad about his manager.

Oh wait..

Wasn’t it revealed that Laurent Blanc was a massive racist? Wasn’t he the guy who, when managing the French national team, was filmed saying “we need to have fewer black players in the national team” ??

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but if true maybe Aurier hated him and for some reason couldn’t spill those particular beans before the secret recording came out..?

Edit: he was in a meeting in which the participants, himself included, were discussing capping the quota of black and Arab players entering the academies at youth level at 30%. Pretty fucking stupid and racist if you ask me!

You remember correctly. He and other members of French national team set up were covertly recorded speaking about quotas for youth players. He was cleared of being outright racist but definitely left a bad taste.

Blanc was behind a plan to limit the number of ethnic minorities entering the national system:

(think this was 11 years ago)

In 1998, when France won the World Cup, the country's national squad was a potent symbol of the nation's ethnic makeup and was nicknamed the "black-blanc-beur" (black-white-Arab) team.

On the secret tape made of the meeting last November, however, federation officials, including Blanc, are heard discussing a plan to cap the number of 12- and 13-year-old black and Arab hopefuls at sports academies, which feed into the national team, to 30%.

Blanc initially denied any knowledge of the quota proposal. When Mediapart published a transcript of the tape, he issued a qualified apology. "I admit some remarks made during a work meeting, taken out of their context, may be misinterpreted. As far as I am concerned, I apologise if I have hurt some feelings. But I, who am against any form of discrimination, do not accept being accused of racism or xenophobia," he said in a statement.

He added that the only point of the meeting was to "discuss the future of French football and deal with the delicate problem of players with dual nationality".

The affair has sparked controversy internationally. Last week, Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger said the conversation that triggered the row "should not have existed". He added that the concept of quotas was inimical to sport. "Your national football has to be identified by the culture of the football and the quality of your education, not by where people come from," he said. "No matter where you come from, if you're good enough, you play. That's why it's so important that politics is not involved.

Cleared of being an outright racist? So he was just a little racist ?

From an article at the time:
"The French football coach, Laurent Blanc, has been cleared of wrongdoing in the row over secret quotas to limit the number of black and north African-origin players on the national team. But the French sports minister, Chantal Jouanno, said comments made in a meeting of football officials to discuss quotas was "borderline tending toward racist". "

So yes, a bit racist, but not Racist. Best sweep the whole thing under the carpet.
