    Clearly he was the issue /s

    But it’s fine to see that happens with some teams.

    Sporting also claimed the title the exact year after Bruno Fernandes left and he our best player in decades.

      He wasn’t clearly the issue. He’s been doing well at Bayern with a team only partially built around him. He probably wouldn’t have be the best fit under Ange, and perhaps we wouldn’t be doing as well, but he wasn’t THE problem at Spurs. Perhaps symbolic of many of the problems that have dogged the club since Poch’s peak. Arguably a case of Ewing Theory.

      I’d put the main issue down as Levy neglecting the football in favour of the business (the stadium etc), then seeking quick fixes when things turned south. But with Scott Munn coming in to take over running the football side, along with Ange as coach and Lange as scout, we could have reached a turning point. Time will tell.

        Of course a player like Kane won’t be an issue in any club. I hate when people actually argue that.

        Let’s see how far Spurs take this
