Plenty of fans on here were calling Kane a bit of a bellend before all of this . I never saw it but now I’m standing to understand why - what an absolute tool he’s turned out to look

As I was saying......

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/apr/27/mauricio-pochettino-labels-fa-an-embarrassment-over-harry-kane-tweet-tottenham-hotspur?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Mauricio Pochettino has branded the Football Association an embarrassment for its tweet that mocked the performance of Harry Kane in last Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker was well marshalled by United’s Chris Smalling at Wembley and after the game, which United won 2-1, the official FA Cup account tweeted: “What’s that in your pocket, Chris?” and linked to an unrelated video of the defender saying: “Harry Kane.”

The tweet was deleted and the FA apologised to both Tottenham and United “for any offence caused”. But Pochettino has now laid bare the depth of the surprise and ill-feeling at Spurs. The manager was incredulous that the FA should have goaded a player who will be a key component of Gareth Southgate’s England squad at the World Cup finals in Russia. Kane is expected to captain the team.


“It was embarrassing, no?” Pochettino said of the tweet. “It was a shame, because the FA is English football and Harry is a potential captain at the World Cup. It is difficult to understand, very difficult, and they have apologised about that.

“The situation disappointed me. The fact it happened and then they apologised after a few days. But move on. That is the reality. We need to protect our assets, our English players, our young players.”

Kane has endured a testing period. He was also ribbed after he fought to be credited with a goal that brushed in off him at Stoke City on 7 April. The PFA’s chairman, Ben Purkiss, joked at the Player of the Year awards dinner last Sunday: “Kane is so prolific, he is able to score without touching the ball.”

Pochettino said: “Harry was very sad [about the FA’s tweet]. But he’s strong in his mind. He’s moved on. We are helping him to move on. It was a mistake and he needs to move on quick.”

There is the strong feeling at Tottenham that Kane has not been afforded the respect he deserves and Pochettino described it as “strange” that people in England did not always get behind England’s best players. Dele Alli, another of Tottenham’s England contingent, is routinely booed at Premier League grounds.

“These types of situation – like the tweet after the game – don’t help to create a good atmosphere,” Pochettino said.

“I’m sure that Harry is not happy. When we talk about passion, about feeling, you are proud to defend your country – we need to be careful in the way we send out messages.”

Kanes, his PR team and Pochettino  are having a shocker!

1. He should never have challenged the goal.
2. He shouldn't have made the ridiculous coment on his daughter.
3. He shouldn't have got shearer and the match of the day facts to comment on it, pleading to them on twitter to give it a mention.
4. Pochettino Has just been digging the whole even further.

And the media with their "Poor harry Kane, national treassure" Bull shit they are using to defence him.

I used to like kane and think he was a good egg, Now? He has made himself to look like a right twat! and he deserves all the stick he gets.

Just popped my head into a Spurs forum to see their take. Apparently Kane did nothing wrong because Mo Salah is an anti-semite. Ah.

EDIT: here's the link for the curious: https://www.thefightingcock.co.uk/forum/threads/harry-kane.6451/page-504#post-1481456

The irony is Salah is Semite.

He’s actually Spurs’ed their season up all by himself. Actually fantastic, couldn’t have happened to a nicer club.
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

Tottenham facing up to reality check as stadium costs escalate
Mauricio Pochettino will still have to sell players in order to buy them next season despite an increased ground capacity

They've done very well to remain where they are for the past few years but it is surely fighting a losing battle having to sell to buy consistently- it only takes one poor window to completely fuck it up.

It really seems like it is going to have an effect on them for years to come.

So they'll be selling Alderwield and Dembele most likely, perhaps Sissoko as well.

Wonder who they can bring in and if that gets them to challenge for the league, but imo they will stay in the same place.

That house of cards is going to fall soon, and it'll be funny to see.

Is only going to take missing out on CL in one season, which given Arsenal and Chelsea will likely outspend them this summer is a possibility next season, and you could see manager and top players leaving, and £40m+ lost from their revenue.

They've still not announced how they are going to fund the £1bn stadium either, which must be rather worrying for the fans. I mean all they do know is £400m of it is being funded by short term bank loans, which, is, kinda short term!

Well they are saying how their going to finance the stadium, just not directly, in that any profit is going towards debt payments and no funds are available for new players unless they sell first.  Not only that but they have to keep the same general wage structure intact.  As the article points out they just saw their ex-teammate Walker triple his wages and win the league.  Playing careers are short, there is no way their better players are going to re-sign for the same terms.  So they'll sell high just like they did with Bale and hope they get a new Kane and Alli when the odds of that are pretty low.

They've lucked out on other teams doing shite, namely Arsenal and Chelsea this season, ourselves and United previously.

We've bucked our ideas up, as have United (although somehow still look shite), only takes one of the other two to fuck Spurs.

They already had £400m available in bank loans based on the initial cost projections.  Rumors are that the agreement with the NFL and other commercial partners have been setup or redone where the total amount of the contract is paid upfront instead of installments.  That would probably cover quite a bit of the gap.  From there it's either getting further loans or taking the clubs operating profit and plugging the remaining gap.

Thy haven't got a commercial partner for the stadium yet and 20 NFL games over 10 years isn't gonna bridge £600m. Not even a tenth of that I'd bet.

So where is the rest of this £600m coming from?

Crazy just how little they have spent.


Quote
But Pochettino has seen the future at Tottenham with clarity. The new stadium will change little for him. His transfer dealings since his arrival in the summer of 2014 have shown a net spend on permanent fees of £40.25m – a remarkably low figure – and he will continue to have to sell in order to buy; to keep the books balanced.
