Tottenham are set to offer defender Eric Dier a new contract this summer and it is a decision that has not pleased pundit Jamie O’Hara who is furious with Daniel Levy.
Talks are currently underway to offer Dier a new three-year deal as he enters the final season of his contract, reports the Evening Standard, and O’Hara is not a fan of the decision.
Speaking about Levy and Dier’s contract, the former Spurs midfielder described Levy as a “brilliant businessman” but “horrendous” at building a football team, ahead of a pivotal summer in which he would like to see “deadwood” players sold.
O’Hara is like many other Tottenham fans who are tired of the way their club is being run and the North London club looks like it is going backwards.
Jamie O’Hara furious with Daniel Levy over Eric Dier deal
“Daniel Levy and the mob up there don’t have a clue what they’re doing, do they?” he told Grosvenor Sport. “It’s just a business and until you start getting rid of all the deadwood it won’t improve.
“They’ve offered Eric Dier a new three-year contract – the guy is just a back-up defender, it’s a joke. Levy is not making good football decisions right now.”
Tottenham are under threat of having no European football next season despite being third in the league at one stage this season. That will have an effect on their transfer dealings and it looks like it could be another long summer for fans of the North London club as they still haven’t a manager or sporting director in place.
It just shows how completely clueless Levy is about football. No wonder we never win anything with a chairman who knows nothing about the game.
Boycott everything spurs hit levy n enic in the pockets only way the change we need will happen
What a joke! Dier a new deal? i bet Ben Davis and Sanchez will be next
I don’t agree ! I don’t think Levy is a “brilliant businessman”, far from it. He took 20 years to build a new training debate and stadium and the stadium came in well over time and over budget. And he’s not a good negotiator, Lyon won’t ever deal with Levy again and Lisbon got him to pay well over value for Porro. He refused to sell Ericson and Dele when the manager advised him to do so which cost the club millions and he buys players the manager doesn’t want and subsequently doesn’t play so how is he a “brilliant businessman” ??? If his uncle didn’t own the club he’d have been fired decades ago …..
Yep Levy all over, new contract and if they want rid of Dier his resale can be negotiated higher….never mind the quality, feel the width.
Boycott everything spurs only way to get levy n co to listen
Eric Dier has been the most consistent poor defender over the past 3/4 years. This has been recognised by Gareth Southgate, who dropped him and by Ryan Mason, who dropped him. His poor positioning and ineffective tackling have only been overtaken by his constant pre occupation with giving instruction to other team members instead of concentrating on his own job. He should have been dropped long ago and should be sold NOW.
Exactly.
Dier, tanganga, gil, le celso, Richardson, Royal, lloris, sanchez as a minimum need to be moved on.
