“London Bleeds Tonight”: Disappointed Dave Portnoy Gets Real After Tottenham Let Go of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich in a $109,462,000 Transfer

It’s official. Tottenham FC has accepted a buyout offer for Harry Kane from FC Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga football club offered $109,462,000 to Tottenham to finalize the high-profile transfer. While Bayern Munich fans must be thrilled with joy right now, the news comes like a wrecking ball for English football fans. Amid the long list of sad fans lies the name of none other than Dave Portnoy.

Dave Portnoy is a multimillionaire businessman and the founder of Barstool Sports. He is also a hardcore soccer fan and an English football loyalist. The news of Tottenham’s acceptance deeply saddened Portnoy, who expressed his thoughts on Harry Kane’s departure on social media.

The unbound sadness of Dave Portnoy

The news of the finalization of the buyout has wreaked havoc among Tottenham fans. Dave Portnoy took to X (formerly Twitter) to discuss the devastating blow to English football. He said this was a sad day for the Coys as “the greatest spur who ever lived” will now move to Germany. Portnoy blatantly said that Tottenham couldn’t win without him. Dave Portnoy mourned the loss of Kane and said, “London bleeds tonight,” and poured some of his drink into a lake before having a sip of it and wished Kane on his new journey. Apparently, Portnoy recorded the video while wearing a jersey given to him by Harry Kane himself. 

Dave Portnoy is known for his flamboyant personality and his indomitable brand, Barstool Sports. The brand is also known for its edgy, no-filter blogs and podcast episodes that attract millions of listeners every Thursday. The company had briefly left the fold of Portnoy and was sold to sports entertainment giant Penn. However, following several twists and turns, Portnoy re-acquired the company he founded by paying just a nominal sum of $1. While things went in favor of Dave Portnoy in the case of Barstool Sports, the same cannot be said about the latest transfer news of Harry Kane. Fans may now see Kane in the hues of Munich in the coming days.

The unprecedented transfer of Harry Kane

Fans had not anticipated Harry Kane leaving Tottenham so suddenly. While Bayern Munich had been trying to secure the star striker for quite some time, Kane had snubbed all expectations of the German club. However, his team, Tottenham Hotspur FC, has approved of Bayern Munich’s offer, and Kane might soon be on his way to Germany.
