As it becomes increasingly clear Spurs are very definitely winning the league, Harry Kane's potless summer departure grows ever more poignant.
Now it’s very obviously very early days. We’re not about to start doing anything quite so silly as saying Spurs are going to win the Premier League.. Probably by about, I don’t know, 10 or 15 points? Easily anyway. Definitely this is what will happen. Almost definitely.
Kane, though, would not be the first club legend to depart the scene just before the glory days, though. It happened to these poor sods.Were it any other player – and perhaps any other club – there would be no such conversation.
But that Zola missed out on Chelsea’s era of dominance and trophy stockpiling – after playing a key role in laying the groundwork – remains a cruel joke. He saved his highest goalscoring campaign until last to inspire Chelsea to that crucial fourth place, but admitted that his contract expiration “happened at a bad, bad moment” for a club in takeover talks.
Fletcher was long a member of the club’s backroom staff by then. After three separate spells at Bournemouth, covering 728 games, 18 seasons, three different decades, three promotions, one relegation and a couple of close calls, the 40-year-old was “sensible” and “realistic” in making “the hardest decision of my life” by calling time on his career.
By the time McGrath retired in 1998, United had won four Premier League titles and three FA Cups without him. In seven years under first Ron Atkinson then Ferguson, the defender won a solitary FA Cup. As Bryan Robson once said: “What the manager proved by selling Norman and Big Paul was that he would take the tough decisions, no matter how big or popular the player. He knows that you cannot allow cracks to develop and affect a dressing room.
