Harry Redknapp has words of praise for Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy

Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has heaped praise on chairman Daniel Levy for the work he has done at the club (TalkSport h/t Football.london). Levy recently completed 20 years as chairman after he took control of the majority shares in 2001.

While Levy has been known to be a hard man to bargain with regarding transfers, he has actually done some great work at the club, especially the commercial deals and the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Redknapp, who was the manager for four years from 2008 to 2012 had some warm words for the longest-serving chairman in the Premier League. He said,

“Well obviously [it is] a massive contribution. When you look, he’s delivered an incredible new stadium, the training ground would be as good as anything in the country. Massive steps forward since he arrived and obviously they are now a team. People forget, when I was at West Ham we finished above Tottenham three years running.

“And West Ham may well do it again, but you look at where Tottenham have gone in the last few years, 10 years, whatever: Champions League football, always pushing for top four. Daniel has done an amazing job there. He runs the club, he’s hands on, he’s there every day. Look where the club is, look at the fantastic facilities they’ve got now as a football club. Look where they are. Look at the playing squad.”

However, Redknapp felt that Tottenham would be disappointed if they finished below the Champions League places. He added that it was the first time in 20 years that Spurs could win a trophy and that was the result of the work put in by Levy.
