Harry Kane reacts to Man City’s 114 charges after Pochettino shows Tottenham anger

Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham’s record goalscorer Harry Kane has been asked about the huge scandal involving Manchester City’s brazen breaches of the Premier League’s financial regulations.Although it has already been an open secret for the past few days, the Premier League finally confirmed on Tuesday that Man City had been guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules.An independent panel found that between 2009 and 2018, the Manchester club repeatedly arranged ‘sham’ contracts, misrepresented their income, concealed the true state of their finances and failed to comply with the Premier League’s investigation.In an explosive revelation, the panel concluded that through these schemes, City artificially inflated their revenues and reduce its costs, by more than £900 million during the affected period.Photo by Gabriel Kuchta – UEFA/UEFA via Getty ImagesHarry Kane refuses to back up passionate outburst of former Tottenham boss Mauricio PochettinoFormer Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino blasted the Premier League authorities for allowing City to circumvent the rules, while ensuring that Tottenham stringently observed them.The Argentine said: “Where are the controls? That’s what gets my attention. Where were the controls? If I remember being at Southampton, then Tottenham – I remember building (the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium) and not having the economic possibility of a transfer for 18 months. I think we were the only team in the history of the Premier League with 18 months (without making a transfer).“Tottenham was fighting for titles with those above us and every year in the top four, getting to the semi-finals of the Champions League without being able to do a transfer for 18 months, all because we needed to get used to the (Premier League financial controls)? They were so strict with us but also so lenient with others. Because of that, that’s why I say: it’s all very strange.”However, despite being a key part of the Tottenham Hotspur team which was going toe-to-toe with Man City for the biggest honours during that time, Kane has refused to share his thoughts on the scandal.When asked about City’s charge, the Bayern Munich star said (via Fabrizio Romano): “It’s not for me to comment right now. I understand it’s a big story, but I need to understand more. When I am with England, it’s only about England. My focus is on Croatia on Saturday.”Kane will be thankful Daniel Levy stopped him from joining Man CityIt is worth remembering that Kane was pushing to join Man City in the summer of 2021, voicing his desire to do so publicly and even going on strike to get his move.However, the transfer did not materialise as Daniel Levy stuck to his guns and refused to reduce his valuation of the striker.While the charges levied against Man City do not concern that time, the success they had from 2009 to 2018 undoubtedly helped establish their brand as one of the biggest clubs in the league and has allowed them to continue benefiting since then.Kane’s reputation would thus have been tarnished had he made the move to the Etihad Stadium instead of waiting for a couple more years and joining Bayern.READ MORE: Tottenham could claim £200m from Man City case as Agbonlahor tips Rayan Ait-Nouri moveThe post Harry Kane reacts to Man City’s 114 charges after Pochettino shows Tottenham anger appeared first on Spurs Web.
