                             RE: Sporting Director

The following announcement was made on Saturday, 4 June 2005 by Tottenham
Hotspur Football Club ('the Club'), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tottenham
Hotspur plc.


'Chelsea Football Club has made an approach to Sporting Director, Frank Arnesen,
in direct breach of FAPL rules. This approach was made both prior to requesting
permission and without permission from the Club. Tottenham Hotspur Football Club
refused permission for any discussions to take place.


Notwithstanding that he is subject to contract and holds wide-ranging
responsibilities and commitments to all parties at Tottenham Hotspur Football
Club, Frank has indicated that he wishes to move to Chelsea Football Club.
Accordingly, the Board of Tottenham Hotspur plc has suspended Frank Arnesen with
immediate effect.'
