The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

[muffwah]

Youve only got to look at transfer fees for unproven and bang average players to realise that £85m is daylight robbery that Levy has allowed to happen. Unfortunately there was no way in this world that Pennywise, pound foolish Levy was gonna let him leave for free. Its a dark dark day in our history and by god there's been a few of them.

OK let's test the logic:

Why do you think it is £85m? Other values have been reported.
Who was going to pay more for a player now in their 30s and about to leave on a free?
As Levy is so incompetent and evil, please share the correct and sensible course of action so we can discuss it and how he got it so wrong.

This should be the final nail for Levy. It's however important to keep it outside the stadium. We need to protest outside and then get behind the team inside.

You're dreaming, the only way he goes anywhere is a complete buy-out of the club. He isn't going anywhere and the majority of fans don't support dragging the club down with this weird fixation. I have been at games where pockets started to sing about Levy, nobody near me did.

I'm not condoning this at all but to have any effect it should be outside the club shop and in the stadium concourse outside the bars.

A protest outside does nothing and the biggest we've managed was like 40 people.

2 year extension, huge wages/bonuses, £50m release clause next year to any club in CL.

That was easy. Next?

 

[TOLBINY]

Kane was open to an extension to give him more time with some clauses relevant to next summer. Levy's pushed for him to go now instead. This is all on Levy and we shouldn't let him weasel out of it.

Any replacement we try to sign now probably will cost £10m more as their club can't get a replacement in (or more likely, we go for the "cheaper" option).

The only way Levy comes out of this is if he gives Ange exactly what he wants and Ange manages a miracle with the squad we have.

I am guessing those clauses relevant to next summer were not palatable to Levy, do we know what they were?

100% agree, we support the team. But it needs to be loud and visible inside the stadium too. Outside the stadium gets little to no coverage, every week inside the ground gets a global audience

not sure where to start with this. The simple answer would be to tell Bayern to get lost and keep him for another season. Invest in a proper defence and midfield in the hope that he bags another 30 goals, fires us back in to the champions league and has some hope of signing a new contract. There is no parallel universe that exists that says we will be a better team without Harry Kane in there. My point was that £85m or even £100m gets you very little in this day and age so I and most other fans who only care about the on field success of THFC would prefer to see him walk away for free than accepting even £150m.

Is that right? Is that from ITK's? I can't understand why he would want him out of the door if Kane was prepared to sign a short extension with clauses

Levy pushed him out the door. That much is clear.

Something along the lines of "you took money for Kane, you took money by raising ticket prices, you're not taking more for merchandise and food/drink" to try and talk people out of spending more. That should send a message ENIC understand.

if this is true and by god I hope Kane himself confirms this in his up coming farewell speech then that has to be the final straw for him. Quit as chairman now, we can’t and don’t want anymore to do with him and his footballing decisions.

Is it? Not seen that in the ITK, I thought BM met the terms and Kane made the decision. That's how the ITK came across last night.

We can’t be really considering this with a new manager literally in the door?

Christ. And people still support him. Yowzer.

Open to an extension is different to actually signing one earlier in the window after your brother and dad and been wined and dined by Munich

He's not incompetent nor is he evil, let's be clear on that.

I do take issue slightly with the word "sensible" because, it insinuates that the correct path is always the sensible one and it isn't. The aim for Levy is to balance success on the football pitch and the value and ability to generate revenue.

Now this is why I dislike the word sensible because sensible would be to not take any risk to where we may become off balanced. It is exactly like walking. In order to stay balanced, you keep your feet on the ground because in order to progress forwards, you have to temporarily be off balance. arguably there is evidence that when the footballing side of thing's start to go the wrong direction (backwards), so we're off balance, we will spend but when once thing's are balanced again we stand still. What we see then is much like walking there is a need to temporarily take risks with both feet coming off the ground to progress forward, smaller, steps are less risk. The footballing side moving forward, is what gets the financial side to then progress forward, then risking the financial side by spending is what gets the football side to move forward. It is literally the same as walking but we always choose the sensible option of standing still to keep the balance.

So I don't have a course of action for you that is sensible, however the approach that may take the club forward would be to risk the financial side by letting the football side take a step forward by risking Kane leaving for free, hoping that because of the great recruitment we have done this season both in terms of Manager and in terms of players like Maddison yields success to where Kane stays, thus convincing him to sign a contract and then we have secured the financial side.

He's not incompetent

Most important transfer window in recent history and Levy's managed to misplace both his brand new Chief Football Officer and his DOF.

How's that anything other than incompetent?

Because you're looking at it through the lens of the most important thing being success on the pitch What's happened with Munn?

Prof on COYS said that kane turned down the last two different contract offers (the last ones offered to him). I passed over the post the other day. So something doesn’t tally.

 

[TOLBINY]

2 year extension, huge wages/bonuses, £50m release clause next year to any club in CL.

That was easy. Next?

Meaning Kane could have quite possibly gone to Woolwich or Chelsea next summer for 50M - IMHO that is far worse than him going Bayern now.
