In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Kane just needs to say let me go. Feel as though Levy knows he can’t keep him forever and is just holding on to him out of spite.
Because he wants to win something? He's won nothing in his career so far.
Yes of course. We would much prefer he go to another league if he leaves Spurs. This is obvious surely.
Bayern bid £60.2 million. Far more realistic than the £100m we see linked with UTD.
Any want to guess what he'll go for eventially? £75m maybe.
It just highlights how clubs use our desperation for success against us.

Daniel Levy isnt selling below 100m when he can see Rice a DM is going for that much. Age or not, strikers are at a premium.
I think if Bayern bid 100 million then they get him. I think if Utd bid 120 million they get him. If I had to guess I'd say neither is going to happen and he will stay.
Correct
He has tried that before. Said it quite loudly, in fact.
Are you expecting him to leave for nothing in a year or do you have genuine hopes of him extending?
They pay higher wages than United. They also have a higher revenue even with the low German TV money deals.
Bayern are cheap skates, no way they are bidding 100 million
I have no idea what will happen but I do think it is possible he does extend because he genuinely loves the club. Though I'm not an idiot and realise it's much more likely he would leave and go for a free but I don't think it is impossible he stays.
Levy made it clear he didn't want to sell to a domestic rival. Its not beyond the realms of possibility he'd go to a foreign club for a fee lower than what would be acceptable to us (or any other PL club bidding).
I thought you might say that.
is pride really worth £15 million when your whole team needs an overhaul?
Doesn't want to sell is not the same as refusing to sell at any price. This to me means he will demand a higher price from a domestic rival vs a club from another league. As I said, we will definitely sell to UTD but you will need to pay a lot for him.
It has nothing to do with pride
I don't want us to strengthen any team that we will be fighting for champions league places with. This is surely very obvious and not difficult to understand - at least I thought it was. Losing the will to live here. Also - if you think 15 million quid is going to make much difference to us then I'd like some of whatever you are smoking.That was my initial point - we'd have to offer a considerably higher fee than Bayern to stand a chance.
It would be absolute madness to turn down £100m from United this summer. I think you’d sell him to Bayern for £75m but I’d be surprised if he would go there (it would certainly be burning any bridges of him returning to Spurs late in his career if he is forced to do so - unless Levy leaves I guess).
I agree
Well in the hypothetical scenario I was talking about a United offer was £15 million more than Bayern's. Considering the investment that Spurs need in their squad I don't think that would be to be sniffed at.
Didn't know that! Quite impressive.
Qatari dick swinging signing in August I reckon.
I am sorry but this is just wrong. Not saying we are super close to City (they are the best club in the world rn). But when was the last time United seriously competed for a CL trophy? I haven't seen you come far in the knockout stages for quite some time.
I think that the obvious thing to do is to snap up someone decent on the cheap (the Porto lad) or free (Thuram) and then sit back and play the waiting game. If Bayern/Real/PSG have an offer accepted, then just match their offer or go slightly (like £1m) over it. If Levy rejects our offer, then it's up to 'Arry to force things if he wants to stay in the PL. He will have more leverage if an offer has already been accepted for a similar fee and kicking up a stink will be justified - I feel like he is reluctant to do this at present due to the fiasco last time he tried.
If no bid from abroad is accepted, then throw down an 80m take it or leave it offer on deadline day. If it ain't accepted, snap him up on a free in the summer- or for 40m in January.

We had a better go at stopping their treble than you did, to be fair.
Nah, Levy has made it quite clear he does not want to sell to a PL rival. I don't think United matching Bayern's offer is putting any pressure on him.
It doesn't have to be either or if he moves to United though. I imagine that is something that he at the very least has considered.
So did Inter who we completely destroyed in the group stage :P
I agree which is why if he does leave this summer it would be Utd which would be his preference no doubt. It's all down to how much cash Utd are willing to spend on him.
I think it's the opposite actually. If Kane stays at Spurs this season he will join you next season. If he leaves this season, I think Levy will always demand a hostile price from you that I doubt United is willing to pay.
Yeah, it's pretty clear you got lucky there and as things went on they ultimately outperformed you by a distance.
I think what COULD happen is this - Kane stays this year and leaves for free next season. City sell Haaland to Madrid and sign Kane. This would not surprise me.
They just had the easier way to the final. No idea what you are talking about. We would have had to beat PSG - City - Real to the final, whereas Inter got Porto, AC and Napoli.
I've said this multiple times, but £15m is nothing to Spurs if it subsquently strengthens a team you aspire to compete with.
The rumour seems to be 100m for us or 80m for bayern. Even if it was our entire budget, I think 100m for kane is more than worth it, players like him just aren't regularly available, and he would transform us
You would think this is obvious.
It's not something you need to be defensive about, they're a decent side. Some years you'll be better, some years they will. It probably won't be too long until you're back at that level.
If he was going to extend his contract why wouldn't he have already done it by now?
