What's the word on next seasons manager?
 

Martinez would be a laugh.

Harry Kane has committed over half his career and his best years to Spurs and is going to leave that club potless. Absolutely incredible achievement from Spurs that.
 

I could see Brendan Rodgers going there.

His stock is high for winning the FA Cup but they've blown a Champions League place two seasons in a row.

More often than not he's known the right time to get out of a club. Vardy does seem to be on the wane and I think he'll like the prestige of Spurs in comparison to Leicester (even though they've been one of the most successful clubs in recent seasons).

If I was him I’d stay at Spurs and become a club legend. He would do that if he stayed his entire career there. Players are too often caught up in the now, in getting a medal, they don’t think of the bigger picture.

The obvious case in point is Matt Le Tissier. For the rest of his life he will be adored by Southampton fans. Shearer at Newcastle the same. I read an article a few months back (can’t recall the player) that he has a few medals in his cupboard (which he never looks at), but he’s got no lifelong connection to any club, and he’d swap that in a heartbeat. It’s an article that really changed my perception of what means most. Adoration is priceless. Kane has that, he’d give all that up by winning a few largely meaningless medals at a club that he has no affiliation to. By staying at Spurs and doing all he could do to win medals there would mean a lifelong connection and adoration for the rest of his life. A wise man wouldn’t give that up.

There’s a weakness in Rodgers, a fragility in his teams. All of them lack steel/defensive nous.

With the RS they conceded a whopping 50 goals in the 2013-14 season. The forwards almost pulled off a miracle by carrying them to the league. Stevie Me slipping is seen as a pivotal moment, but no team should have a set up where a midfielder loses possession in central midfield which results in an opposing forward having a whole half of a field to himself with only a gk to face. Any competent manager has the team compact, not have wide open gaps to be exploited.

With Celtic the beatings in Europe included getting smashed seven by Barca. He did well domestically but that’s because there was no opposition to exploit his non existent defensive set up.

Twice now with Leicester they have collapsed at the end. Had they missed out today by winning and Chelsea also winning then fair enough, they did all they could. But to lose at home to a Spurs side that is largely rudderless at the minute with Mason at the helm, it’s more flakiness from Rodgers. It’s especially damning as they were 15 minutes from qualification. A top manager closes that out, kills the game. Instead they were wide open as all his teams are.

He’s an excellent attacking coach and his teams are good to watch, but he’s lacking in the other side of the game.

Excellent post. Kane goes to City, wins a few easy medals....would that suddenly mean he was a better player or was world class?

Mate most of the athletes we love couldnt care less how easy the titles are. Look at Kevin Durant in the NBA. Was losing playoff after playoff and decided to join his teams biggest threat (Warriors) who won back to back titles with a team full of superstars. Every athlete wants to be a champion thats the pinnacle for someone in the profession of sport.

If he was a boyhood spurs fan it would be a completely different scenario however the guy is a gooner. Chuffed that spurs will get a huge fee, it will put a lot of pressure on Levy to deliver.

He isn't a Gooner.
 
I think if Spurs take the money for Kane and then hire a good manager and invest the Kane money properly, they will be a top team. Can see them challenging for the title but they have to play their cards right.
