UEFA confirm Spurs won't get
Champions League spot
By Ian Ferris - May 4, 2006
Uefa have told Tottenham that they will not be handed a Champions
League reprieve if Arsenal win the tournament.
Uefa confirmed before the start of the season that any place for
the champions - who did not qualify via the league, would then be
taken from their association's already allotted allocation.
Therefore, should Arsenal win the Champions League, the side who
finishes fourth will not be allowed entry - which looks like being
Spurs.
"I am afraid I have to tell Spurs that there is no alternative,"
Uefa chief executive Lars-Christer Olsson told Reuters.
"This time around, we are prepared. We have put the rules in place
and those rules will stand.
"Of course on the pitch, Spurs will feel hard done by and it is a
difficult decision, but England will only have four teams and
Arsenal will be invited back if they are champions."
Tottenham Hotspur will be @ France
