                    APPOINTMENT OF MARTIN JOL AS HEAD COACH


London, Monday, 8 November 2004 Tottenham Hotspur Football Club today announced
that Martin Jol has been appointed Head Coach with immediate effect. Jol,
previously First Assistant Coach at the Club, joined in July this year having
previously been Head Coach at RKC Waalwijk.  The appointment follows the
departure of Jacques Santini following his decision to return to France for
personal reasons.


Daniel Levy, Chairman, added, 'What is important now, is that we, as a Club,
pick ourselves up and show our determination to get the best results this
season. The new management structure we set up in July has provided us with the
continuity that is crucial at such times as this, and was one of the main
reasons we adopted this approach. When player purchases are determined solely by
the manager and that individual leaves, this can often result in wholesale
changes to the squad when the new manager arrives. With our structure, our
Sporting Director, Frank Arnesen, is accountable for the quality of the squad
and as such the current squad, with the many new faces that were brought in
during the summer, can enjoy greater stability.'
