Chelsea
Chelsea
Chelsea have played in the top division of English football since 1989/90, and have always played in the top two divisions of English football. Chelsea have won the Premier League five times. Only Manchester Utd have won it more often.
- Stadium: Stamford Bridge
- Stadium Capacity: 41,631
- Location: West London
- Founded: 1905
- Nickname: The Blues
- Manager: Frank Lampard
- Kit: Dark blue shirts and shorts with white socks
Chelsea was formed in 1905 but the Blues most successful era has been the last twenty years. Chelsea are the only London club to have won the Champions League. Some famous Chelsea fans include: Emma Watson, Will Ferrell, Michael Caine and Ed Sheeran. Here are some of the highlights:
- League Champions: 6 times
- FA Cup Winners: 8 times
- League Cup Winners: 5 times
- Champions League Winners: 2011/12
- UEFA Europa League: Winners in 2012/13
- Premier League best finish: Winners in 2004/5, 2005/06, 2009/10, 2011/12 & 2016/17
One to Watch
Here is a Chelsea player to keep an eye on in the Premier League this season:
Jorginho
Chelsea paid Napoli over £50 million for Jorginho in July 2018. The midfielder was born in Brazil but plays for the Italian national team. Jorginho usually plays as a creative midfielder and has a similar style to Cesc Fabregas.
Last season
Chelsea finished third in the Premier League last season under Maurizio Sarri. Despite finishing third it was a disappointing season under Maurizio Sarri and the club replaced the Italian with a Chelsea legend in the summer of 2019. Frank Lampard is inexperienced as a manager but fans will be hoping that he can bring some of the recent past glories to Stamford Bridge. They will also have to deal with the loss of their star player, Eden Hazard, who left the club at the end of last season.
Prediction 2019/20: 5th
Chelsea will be looking to break back into the top four and to claim Champions League football this season. If Chelsea can hold on to players such as Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois they should have a good season under their new manager. If that doesn’t happen then a top four place may be out of reach.

You shouldn't take it personally , why don't you like Jose ? If it's because his style of play , I think you are wrong , because when he had got the quality of players he needs , you would see him play a beautiful offensive play . Like in his first term in Chelsea in 2007 -2008 he won man utd at old traffold 3-0 and won Barcelona 4-2 . He had the players he chose , but now it can't be compared between these players and the squid at that time , can t compare cesc with Lampard , hazard with Robbin , Willian with duff , Costa with drogba , Ramires with makalele , matic with essien .

I don't see eye to eye on that point! If you as a manager can't find ways to settle the conflicts inside your team, you should quit. It's as simple as that.

My opinion is that both players and coaches/managers should act in the best interests of the club. If one of the components of this equation is underperforming, you should fix or replace it. Obviously, something went wrong between Jose and some of the Blues' key players. And it is extremely challenging to 'fix or replace' a number of players at once, that's why the club owner went for the other option and parted company with the Special One.

And the owner is wrong , because Jose intended to stay for a along time at Chelsea , and can build team for decades and be the strongest team in the world but now whoever be the manager won't stay as long as Jose wanted .
He should have replacedthe key players to keep Jose whatever it takes even if the bad results lead to relegation , we don't care about Cesc , Oscar ,Terry , Costa and hazard , they aren't the best in the world we can find better than them but we can't find better than Jose .

I do agree with you about the Blues' owner - he is fond of hot fixes and likes quick wins with poor strategic thinking, but I really doubt that fans would accept Chelsea's relegation.Just remember all the excuses for those defeats Jose was talking about: Chelsea physio Eva, lack of luck,conspiracy, referees, mass media etc. but he has never admitted his fault, and he always wanted it to be his way without deferring to the opinions of the players that ultimately led to the 'palpable discord' in the dressing room. It's interesting how quickly the fans mood changes: last season you praised for those players (Hazard, Cesc, Costa and Terry) & now you are blaming them.

It's almost done , Gus is going to take it over till the end of the season , he and the board have started the negotiation in London today .
An interview with a board influencing member in Chelsea tv channel hinted the reason of the sack is the issues and bad relation between Jose and the players . It's easy to change one man despite changing 11 players , that's what led to sacked Jose . I think fans love towards Jose wouldn't let them accept his departure , unless those players win the champions league cup .
For me I think the right man for Chelsea is guardiola , because he and Jose are the best coaches in the world .

They deservedly called Jose the most successful manager in Chelsea's 110-year history. This decision was coming to a head: low commitment and poor performance of key players, absence of tactical tricks, porous defence, lack of creativity upfront, disrespectful behaviour, devastating defeats by underdogs, pressure from mass media and the board (as they are the defending champions), to say the least. When you weight those arguments in and put Chelsea fans' love on the other side of the scale, I think the decision for the club is quite obvious even though he is the Special One.

Terry disliked his taking off in man city match and told Gerard about what was happening in the dressing room . Hazard , Oscar , cesc , Costa and matic are they going to do their best next matches ?!!!!!!
It's Really auwaful to sack him , what new manager can do Now ? I don't think he can do better .

Initially, Diego was a good signing for Chelsea (remember the title winning season!). But now the Blues' midfielders are not performing well. Consequently, they do not create too many goal-scoring chances for their strikers. Moreover, defenders from other teams got to know how to defend against Diego. He needs to upgrade his skills rather than showing his disrespect to the coach. I am sure Chelsea can do better.
