This is not accurate. He openly courted the national job (Okay fine.) and tried to leverage that into a lucrative contract extension, and he apparently tried to leverage the possibility of a contract extension into higher pay if he took the national job plus he blatantly used his pals in the media to try to force Levy to let him go for either next to nothing to the England position or give him mega-money to stay. Then the bottom fell out on their season giving both sides the opportunity to tell him to go away.
Well, yes, that's technically true but he couldn't do anything else when levy had put 10m fee to him having any chance to get England job. That's approx. what Madrid paid to Inter to get Mourinho ffs.
He certainly tried to force his exit to England and that's perfectly normal.
However, I don't think it was fair from levy to ask that money to let him go and it was effectively robbing him for chance to get that job - both one you want emotionally and because it's great job to have.
Harry is not flower, he is **** too but I think he made great job at Spurs and deserved to be given a chance to crown his career and manage his national team. Levy basically took it from him and on the end kicked him in the arse.
Arry is twat but Levy is twat of the highest order.
