The reasons Kane wants away, as cited in his leak, are the same reasons that will prevent Levy from finding suitable replacements. If the gods are kind and give them the most favourable of draws, they might, just might, win the League Cup, but they will not finish in the top four this season. That means any player signing on a three-year contract knows that his first two seasons will definitely not involve Champions League football, and with the manager only on a two-year contract, his last year will likely be in turmoil.
