Report: The Harry Kane and Levy chant that Spurs fans sang against Brentford
The Athletic have revealed that a section of the travelling Tottenham fans at the Gtech Community Stadium made it clear to Daniel Levy that they hold him responsible for Harry Kane’s departure.
Perhaps the one chant that Spurs fans have sung more often than any other over the best part of the last decade is ‘Harry Kane, he’s one of our own’, proudly referring to the fact that one of the best strikers of the modern era came through the club’s academy.
Some Spurs fans blame Daniel Levy for Kane exit
Tottenham fans will now have to find themselves a new hero following Kane’s departure to Bayern, and understandably, it seems like a section of the fan base are still not over the fact that the 30-year-old has left.
What’s more, is that they blame the club’s hierarchy for not doing enough over the past few years to retain the best player that Spurs have ever produced.
The Athletic have revealed that a small section of Spurs fans at Brentford reworked the ‘He’s one of our own chant’ and redirected it at Levy, chanting ‘he left cos of you’ instead.
Spurs Web Opinion
The Levy Out brigade tends to throw abuse at anyone who even slightly disagrees with their assertions, and they act alarmingly similar to political zealots, who believe they hold the one true opinion.
Even though this will incur their wrath, I have no qualms in stating that I do not hold Levy solely responsible for the fact that Kane has left. In fact, there is a very persuasive case to be made that the only reason we managed to keep hold of the best striker in the world for this long is because of Levy.
There is no doubt that Spurs have stagnated over the last three or four years and that Levy has got some of his decisions wrong in hindsight, but to accuse him of a lack of ambition is ridiculous.
He hired two of the most successful managers in the world in Mourinho and Conte to make a point about his ambition and to suggest that Conte, especially, was not backed, is a way of re-writing history as the Italian essentially got almost everything he wanted.
It is also worth remembering that Spurs fans were fully behind those managerial appointments and many were of the belief that we could challenge the best sides in the country at the start of last season following the signings we made last summer.
For those same people to now turn around and pretend as if it was obvious those were the wrong appointments or that we did not do enough in the transfer market, and that Levy should have seen the collapse coming, is quite rich.
