£60 to sit in the gods for the last home game of the season, and leaking to the press conte will keep kane at Spurs and will be given significant transfer funds to rebuild just before the season tickets renewal window shut.
Levy has mugged them off big time.

60 quid for a ticket in London is the norm, any fan with half a brain cell would not fall for the season ticket sell bullshit.

Peter Swales could have written a book on that subject, every summer we were going to sign the likes of Dean Saunders and co always ended up with some second rate crap.

I think this is very harsh on Spurs, I’m no fan of the club or levy in any shape or form - in fact I really do hate them, mainly due to the supporters and their entitled behaviour.

Why is this harsh? Well they were a well run club, on a high budget but not breaking the bank. Levy did well for Spurs in the transfer market and no one can question that.

A great business model and was working really well, even the stadium investment was well organised and thought out, revenue streams were identified and fully signed up for years to come. Would have worked really well and moved the club forward over the next five to ten years.

Unfortunately they were right at the point of heavy debt management when COVID killed them, and completely killed them, not just impacted but completely killed the project to the point of needing government assistance.

It’s like getting the house of your dreams, a new job paying twice the income, moving into your new dream house and finding out your new job isnt paying as much as your old one; you’re mortgaged to the hilt and limited revenue.

So let’s not kid ourselves that things were run poorly at Spurs, they are just, sadly another victim of COVID (and I say sadly as real people will lose jobs and homes etc there).

No kidding, spurs are a decent run club but still like most clubs take the fans for granted.
How much of the £175m loan from the bank of England helps pay Levy's wages of £7m a year.
Spurs fans will turn on him, can't keep mugging them off and paying yourself that amount of money

Other London clubs didn't charge that much and didn't sit in the gods.
Some fans will believe in anything, it's called blind loyalty.

The €150M was an example market value used because the poster I was responding to quoted that figure.
The true market value, as you obviously understand, is whatever a club is willing to pay.
I used an example sum to counteract some nonsense theory that Haaland would be cheaper to buy once his €65M release clause kicks in, because it won’t, because if he’s sold it will be at the highest price the market will bear under any circumstances and regardless of who gets what from the fee.

I used the (example) difference between market value and reduced sale fee to demonstrate that if Dortmund wanted to sell Haaland this summer then he and his entourage would not agree to that sale if, by their calculation, if reduced what would be due to them next summer.

I can understand why you made your remarks but if you’d read further back in the exchange then you would have understood that I wasn’t proposing that any particular thing would happen, merely setting out the conditions that would be required for anything to happen, as ridiculously unlikely as that may be - as was made plain in my example.

He will be cheaper once his release clause comes into play! All else and your previous discussion elsewhere aside, that is ultimately the point i'm responding to. If Dortmund are asking for 150m this year, the maximum they can ask next year id 65m. He is then half the price next season. Nobody pockets the extra 85, nobody would pay it if they wanted to.

His agent and he himself will look for wages. And whatever incentives. Both years. Potentially more next summer if they feel they can and clubs can stretch to it having got him for less, but nowhere near the difference between the asking price this year and release clause next. That is the whole point of the release clause.

edit, I see from your next post you are actually talking about the difference being that same window, i.e between the release clause and what someone else would pay that same window. Which makes more sense. But, nobody would look to pay any more than the release clause, because they wouldnt need to. Then it is just a case of his entouragenseeing where they get a better deal dor themselves, but that is part of the process and ultimately on them to decide to go for more money or where they actually want to.

i agree mate, it would certainly benefit Kane and England if its done before the euros so it puts the speculation to bed and stops the media having click bait articles constantly.

City may not want to do it until after the euros. Imagine if he picked up an injury? Big risk.

Always if the club does not have success and if you follow the Chairman's end of season thread on here,, even after 2 trophies and a Champions League final, some fans are still not happy.
