Kane will forever be the best example of why you don’t let your family handle your affairs purely to stop them feeling jealous or left out of your success. His brother being his agent has ruined his career in terms of silverware and maximising his potential.
Signing a six-year contract with absolutely no get out what so ever in 2018 was simply stunning. He held absolutely all of the cards at that point and his moron of a brother burned the f*****g lot. By all means sign a new deal, but do so with a very affordable release clause baked in, even if it’s one that exists in the form of “if the club hasn’t won a major trophy by X date then a release clause of Y becomes active.” Really simple, basic stuff that means you get what you want either way. The club can keep you if they deliver and you can walk if they don’t. If your only concern is winning a couple of medals then that deal is a cakewalk.
Instead, he signs a contract taking him from 24 to 31 with absolutely zero terms and conditions in his favour, then wins a World Cup golden boot a few months later but has absolutely no control over his own career, despite now being one of the most sought after strikers on the planet. Even if Spurs wouldn’t agree to a release clause (they absolutely would if they were told it was that or nothing), he could have just sat out his original deal and left on a free transfer two or three years ago. He would’ve got his Man City move and they would’ve put £50million in his pocket as a signing on fee, plus paid him whatever he wanted in wages, and he would’ve won multiple league and cup titles by now.
He and his idiot sibling have had to work really hard to get to this point.
