Those pics are at Stansted. The specific red car is presumably awaiting in Munich.

I don't think he'd go to Chelsea, even with Poch there. United would be a possibility - the lack of a transfer fee would bring a lot more clubs into the mix, those without instant funds available but able to offer large wages.
Just off the top of my head, putting aside Spurs as a concern, if he stays then he will earn about £10.5m less than the rumoured £400k that doubles his wages, but then he could be way more flexible in how he receives his fee from his new club without Levy being involved, and that fee could be two, three or four times what he missed out on in wages.
As a fan, I appreciate if he's made the decision so that he doesn't leave us without any pay off for him going - left it late so we didn't get bent over by clubs on fees for other signings (like West Ham are for the Rice cash), but if it's too late to get another striker in then we're in an even worse spot. Torn on that front, have to wait and see what the club do.

Possibly but if he wins the CL one of the next two seasons, which he’d have a pretty good shot at, he’s made entirely the correct choice. The goals he’s scored, records he’s broken along with two bundesliga’s and a CL would be a damn fine career for someone who’s worked so hard to become what he is. He’s never seemed that bothered about money massively so doubt he cares if he’s missed out.
Maybe I’m just getting old but in my mind Bayern are a huge club. Madrid, Barca, Utd, Liverpool and Bayern are the big glamorous clubs for me. Removing the Spurs glasses it’s one hell of an achievement that a guy being loaned out early on and barely playing has been bought and will be Bayerns number 9. He’s earned it and I personally wish him well.
We sack Jose and hire Nuno, that's not showing ambition.

In the long term, if it plays out like that, agreed, but I don't think that he'd be much less desired by them big clubs in a year's time. He'd be even more attractive without that transfer fee - I get what you're saying but that PL record is so close he can nearly touch it and I don't think he'll get that chance again once he leaves the league.
I don’t know how you are getting disagrees for this and Not sure which part people disagree with.
Do people actually believe he was a boyhood spurs fan?

I honestly can’t get my head around this perspective.
He started playing for Spurs consistently since 13/14. That’s 10 seasons and a majority of his career he has given to Spurs.
In that whole period, there was one moment where he flirted with joining the best team in the world. Who wouldn’t? Have you not considered a career change at some point?
He has put in some of the best performances I’ve seen in a spurs shirt in recent memory. His performance against City in Feb-22 was up there with the very best in the PL era and he has been an absolute joy to watch.
I’m sorry to pick on this post specifically, but it saddens me that so many are taking a bitter attitude towards someone who has pretty much been the best thing about the club over the last 10 years.

When the new stadium opened, there was that strange ceremony. The players looked very awkwars but when that bloke from the go compare ads walked out, singing glory glory tottenham hotspur, people were laughing, including some of the players. But then the camera panned to Kane, and he had tears in his eyes. So he felt an emotional connection, even if some of the fans didn't feel it towards him

Becasue you said edit Kane Out of the video. Regardless of how anyone feels he holds so many club and leagure records now other than premier league all time, he is intrinsically part of our history and those records will always be associated with Kane being a Tottenham Player and always will be. Dissapointed hes left more dissapointed Madrid didnt come in for him, but I'm not baring a grudge with him, hes not Campbell. He done us a favour with goals/records etc we did him one bringing him through the academy supporting him. We got money for him he could have left next year for nothing and there is fuck all we could have done about it and he even went abroad not to play for another PL Club, and everyone said Kane never wanted to go abroad.

That’s the sign of a directionless reactionary chairman with no plan. After the Nuno debacle I feared that Kane was already thinking what’s the point.
Honestly, he wouldn't be in his right mind if he didn't want to be playing for a better team than we have been, you can still love Tottenham and want to play for a competitive team, which we have not been during his peak years.
It's not mutually exclusive to be 'one of our own' and seeing the best use of your career as spending some time playing at another club.
I don't think Bayern was the right move for him but that doesn't mean there wouldn't be one at a different club. If I was him and wanting to make the most of my career, I would be running this year down and seeing if things improve and what is on offer in terms of extending, or otherwise having the option to join a City/Real after.
As a Spurs fan, of course I would rather he stayed. But being a fan of one club doesn't mean you have to play for them - he can still be a Tottenham fan.

It's not hard to imagine why the players would have become disaffected with the club over time. Eriksen refused to renegotiate his contract after the 2018 transfer window debacle, and Harry clearly reached his breaking point when we sacked Jose during the week of a cup final.
Since that time we brought in Nuno, then gave Conte a budget-rate loanee instead of the significant CB signing he chased after in multiple transfer windows (after having done the same to Jose with the pivot from Skriniar to Rodon).
I don't blame Harry for surveying the way the club operated a coming the conclusion that Levy is not invested in winning anything -- it's the correct conclusion! Nothing has fundamentally changed during Harry's tenure at the club and I don't blame him for having certain sporting ambitions that Levy obviously lacks.
If you are trying to motivate a club for the here and now you don’t show images of a player that’s just left you. It’s not that complicate. Edit him back in once he’s retired to mark his controbution to the club. Modric isn’t in the video either.

I'm not broken up about it but it's more that I can see why he'd be pretty jaded at this point and wanting to go somewhere for something new. Doesn't seem like the dressing room has been a fun place to be for a very long time at this point and even though Ange seems to be changing that I can't blame Kane for feeling like it's come too late and he'd rather leave now & see the club get a windfall.
Also as folks are talking about it I think the worst one for me was Keane, the move just came out of nowhere and when he came back it wasn't the same. Bale hurt a lot at the time too as we didn't get to see enough of him at the top of his game, but given the career he had at Real Madrid (despite the fact that it later went sour) I can't blame him.
