Liverpool FC Women's opponents Chelsea had a narrow escape ahead of tonight's match after a shattered window came crashing down in front of them during a Dale Street stroll. Storm Gareth is being blamed for the bizarre morning blow-out from a vacant office window in the top floor of the building. A witness sent a picture showing players Chelsea FC Women - who take on Liverpool FC Women at Prenton Park tonight - stood on Dale Street yards from the shattered glass as a police official examines the window inside the building. A spokesman for Chelsea FC Foundation told the ECHO Chelsea FC Women "were out for their matchday walk ahead of tonight’s game. No one was injured." JD Gyms which is based in the same buildings stressed it did not own the office.

Richard Dunne: ‘Kepa Arrizabalaga incident sums up Chelsea FC at the moment’
But he should have been dismissed because what he did was a disgrace, and in all my years as a professional footballer I never encountered something like that – a player refusing to come off. What he did was an insult to the manager, his fellow players and the entire club. I've seen players who were frustrated at being substituted, I've seen players try and play on when the bench thought they were injured, but I had never witnessed a player defy his manager like that. You can see sometimes in a game where the manager is worried about a player being injured, but the player plays on and in that case he is being genuine as he is trying to help the team get the result they need. I saw that with Ireland a few times, but I never saw a player undermine his manager like that. If you are unhappy at being taken off, you can show your frustration, but you don't disrespect the whole team, especially the player who is replacing you. You don't let your team suffer just because you, as an … [Read more...] about Richard Dunne: ‘Kepa Arrizabalaga incident sums up Chelsea FC at the moment’

Chelsea FC turnover hits a record after bumper financial year for owner Abramovich
A return to the UEFA Champions League helped deliver record turnover for Chelsea Football Club in 2018, adding to a bumper financial year for its owner Roman Abramovich. The Russian billionaire, who recently emerged among the FTSE's big winners in 2018 largely due to rising steel prices, has seen turnover at his Premier League club hit a record high of £443m in the year to the end of June 2018, as fixtures from a European competition boosted matchday earnings and broadcasting fees. Striker Diego Costa’s £57m move to Atletico Madrid and midfielder Nemanja Matic’s £40m transfer to Manchester United also meant the club made a £113m profit from player trading last year, rising from £69.2m in 2017. Such profits underline Chelsea’s continued move into the black under Abramovich, who first caught the attention of Britain’s football fans after going on a spending spree for players when he took ownership of the club 16 years ago. According to … [Read more...] about Chelsea FC turnover hits a record after bumper financial year for owner Abramovich
