Message from #CFC Ownership | @ChelseaFC
“Yesterday marked an important milestone and the beginning of the next chapter for Chelsea. We thank our departing partners and are grateful for their contributions to the Club. We move forward with a shared sense of purpose, clear direction and confidence in what comes next.
“Our ambition is clear: to compete at the highest level, to win major trophies, and to build sustained success.
“Chelsea FC supporters are the heart of this Club and have been its true custodians for over 120 years. While we have the responsibility of ownership, this will always be your Club. We are committed to listening, and building a Chelsea you can be proud of, on and off the pitch.
“Success on the pitch will always be our first priority. That means competing to win the Premier League and other major trophies and strengthening the Club commercially so that we can invest consistently in the team. We will also maintain our focus on Chelsea’s future infrastructure – investing thoughtfully and pursuing the right long-term solutions for generations to come.
“We are ambitious about what Chelsea can achieve, and equally conscious of the responsibility that comes with leading this great Club.
“We will keep working to move Chelsea forward – together.”

Xabi Alonso:
“It's obvious, in defence we can do better. In attack, we are doing well, but we need to find the right balance. I'm sure we will do it. Everything takes time.”

#Chelsea’s “next phase” at ownership level is hoped to include progress with infrastructure, not just with the future of Stamford Bridge. It is thought Clearlake Capital may seek to attract new investment too.
