In all honesty, what’s not working for Spurs is down to the players IMO. Regardless of what you think of Mourinho or Conte and their particular styles or methods, there’s a startling similarity. They have both said the squad is not good enough. That’s not specifically Kane or Son, but there’s pretty clearly something wrong there. It could be ENIC/Levy and one could argue that we need an owner willing to spend. I could agree with that also.
But the bottom line is the players aren’t good enough, and I don’t think there’s a manager out there who could turn them around.

And its hard to make them be.
For starters, I agree with you. I'd be taking almost any offers for Kane and Son at this point.
Its not that they're bad players, they're still talented guys who seem like they're playing with heart and playing for the coach.
But they are just at the wrong points in their ages and careers for Spurs right now.
But I guess it depends on what and where they see Spurs at the moment. I see an ageing and rather disconnected team thats playing as individuals and are, at best, equal to the sum of their parts.
If you want to go all-in on Kane and Son then they're going to have to spend 'Chelsea-like' money and revamp their squad almost entirely over the summer and hope like hell the group gels and then acknowledge, at least internally, that you will never get a transfer fee for either of them. At least not one of significance.
Which is pretty Un-Spursy.
I wouldnt roll those dice.
At the moment, I think Spurs look exactly like what I thought they were, a European bubble-team. Some days they play better than they should, some days worse than they could.
