Eric Dier has now been reacting to what he’s been hearing said about Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy recently.
Daniel Levy has been Tottenham chairman since he replaced Alan Sugar in 2001, now the long-serving boss in the Premier League.Of course, Eric Dier’s long stint at Spurs was all under Levy’s stewardship, a relationship that seems very strong to this day.
And whilst it seems it was made pretty clear to Dier that he was welcome to leave the club last summer, it doesn’t seem like any bridges have burned.
Dier actually jumped to Levy’s defense when they recently spoke on The Overlap with Gary Neville.
Dier will play Tottenham’s rivals Arsenal in the Champions League tonight while he is currently at Bayern Munich.
And there will undoubtedly be a large number of Spurs supporters watching the game in the hopes that Harry Kane and company can really hurt Arsenal’s season.
Even though Dier talked extensively about the tie during his interview, he also wanted to clarify Levy’s employment.
Eric Dier says Daniel Levy is doing a fantastic job as Tottenham chairman
Levy has often been criticised of late for putting too much focus on the business side of things, rather than achievements on the pitch.
And whilst Dier seemed to admit that things could have gone better on the pitch, he certainly didn’t want to criticise his former chairman.
He explained: “When I see the way people talk about the chairman it’s a bit baffling to me when it comes to like, he takes such good care of that club, you know, from a business point of view.
“He takes such good care of that, you never see Tottenham in like a Financial Fair Play discussion, and they built a new stadium, a new training ground, I think they have the best infrastructure in the world in terms of football.
I was there for a long time and we went through many different kinds of regimes; we had the Pochettino era and then the many managers who came after that. So clearly, on a football side, we can spend a few Overlaps discussing it.
Naturally, supporters of Tottenham will now be hoping that the Ange Postecoglou era can be the one in which everything falls into place absolutely perfectly.
Spurs appear to be prepared for a significant summer expenditure given their solid financial standing, and they may consider looking to acquire a suitable replacement for Harry Kane.
Having saying that, Eric Dier recently made a fascinating assertion on Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham training sessions.
