Chelsea FC Overview

More recently, after the 2003 sale of the club to Russian businessman Roman Abramovich, the team began to dominate both the English and International stage. Under their new ownership, the Blues spent upwards of 100 million pounds on new talent and a new manager, Jose Mourinho. It was under Mourinho that Chelsea achieved its greatest successes. Chelsea won back to back league championships in 2004-2005 and 2005-2006, becoming only the 5th English team to do so, as well as capturing the 2007 FA and League Cups. Chelsea made it to their first ever UEFA Champions League Final in 2007 under new manager Avram Grant. Since then, Chelsea has continued to play on a high level.

Originally known as the Pensioners, Chelsea was formed on March, 14 1905 and was elected to the Football League not long after. Upon their entry into the League, Chelsea’s showings were less than impressive. It wasn’t until the 1950’s that Chelsea became a formidable adversary on the British stage. New manager Ted Drake took over in 1952 and began to transform the team into a version of what we know today. Now known as the Blues, Drake and his new squad won the 1954-55 League Championship, the club’s first major trophy.

Aside from winning, the other thing the Blues have been known for is a revolving door of managers. This season is no different as coach Carlo Ancelotti will take over the helm. Formally of AC Milan, Ancelotti won 234 matches with the club and captured two UEFA Super Cups (03, 07) as well as two UEFA Champions League titles (02-03, 06-07). With his creative style of coaching as well as his experience in high pressure situations, Ancelotti should have Blue’s fans eagerly anticipating the future of the team.

Chelsea F.C. has a long and rich history in the realm of English Football. For most of their existence, they have been considered as part of the top-tier of English Football clubs. As a member of the English Premier League, Chelsea F.C. faces stiff competition each year, making their recent accomplishments that much more impressive.

Chelsea FC Stadium

The Blues have played football for over a century and since their inception they have called only one place home, Stamford Bridge. With a bowl-like design and a covered terrace, Stamford Bridge could originally hold approximately 10,000 people. In an attempt to modernize the pitch in the 1970’s, a massive renovation was planned that would turn Stamford Bridge into a more modern 50,000 all-seater stadium. But this plan was stalled due to mounting financial costs. Renovation work continued in the mid-nineties and the plan was back in action.

Under manager Tommy Docherty, the Blues made formidable runs at trophies throughout the 1960’s but fell short in all but one endeavor, the 1964-65 League Cup. In 1970, Chelsea won the FA Cup over Leeds United and continued their winning ways into the following season, winning the UEFA Cup Winner’s Cup over Real Madrid, their first major European honor. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be until the mid-nineties that Chelsea would re-establish its dominance in the football world.

The New Premier League, founded in 1992, became Chelsea’s home upon its formation. The Blues would not display top form in the league until 1994, when they reached the FA Cup Final. 1996 saw a change for Chelsea as they added accomplished star Ruud Gullit as player-manager. Gullit signed several international players with tremendous talent which allowed the Blues to capture the 1997 FA Cup, firmly establishing them as one of England’s top sides.

Burnley Football Club Info

Burnley FC rejoins Premiership, completing turn of fortune for club. Burnley Football Club returns to the Barclay’s Premier League on 15 August, 2009 as they face Stoke City on the road at Britannia Stadium. Burnley FC is returning to England’s top flight of football after a 33 year absence.

Burnley FC has a rich history in English football that goes back over 125 years. The Clarets are one of the founding members of the Football League. In 1888 Burnley, along with 11 other teams, founded the Football League. In the early decades of the newly founded league, Burnley experienced success on many different levels.

Burnley FC Manager

On November 22, 2007 Scottish born, Ireland international Owen Coyle was introduced as the new manager at Burnley Football Club. Coyle took over a club that was finally stable on the field and led the team to a respectable 13th place finish on 62 points in the Championship. Coyle’s first full season in 2008-09 would be even more impressive as he led his team to a 5th place finish in the Championship and secured promotion through playoff victories. Coyle was a prolific striker in his playing days. After beginning his career with Dumbarton, Coyle bounced around to several different Scottish teams and even had a spell with Bolton Wanderers. Prior to joining Burnley, Coyle led Scotland’s St. Johnstone to back to back 2nd place finishes in Scotland’s second tier.

Burnley has been up and down through all four divisions of English football in their history, earning them a unique spot in the league’s history. Burnley FC is one of only three clubs to have won a championship in each of the four divisions. In addition to their 1920-21 success in the top flight, they captured another title in 1959-60, and have captured the second division title twice, and once each in the third and fourth divisions.

Turf Moor – Burnley FC Stadium

The Clarets hold another distinction in English football that is surpassed by only one team. Burnley has played their football on the same ground since 1883, at Turf Moor. Only Preston North End has occupied the same ground continuously for a longer period than Burnley has been at Turf Moor. The stadium can currently hold 22,546 seated, though with Burnley’s promotion to the Premier League, plans are back in the mix to expand seating capacity to 28,000. Turf Moor has played host to one FA Cup semi-final. The game was played in 1922 and saw Huddersfield Town beat Notts County 3-1. The record attendance at the stadium was set in 1924 during an FA Cup 3rd round game as 54,755 saw Burnley host Huddersfield Town. Turf Moor’s North and East end seating stands were rebuilt in 1996 and are at current the largest and newest stands in the stadium. With its promotion to the Premier League secure, the Clarets hope to expand seating in the West and South stands to bring the stadiums total to 28,000.

This past spring (2009), the Clarets defeated Sheffield United 1-0 in the Championship’s playoff final to gain promotion to the Premier League.

The club captured its first major trophy in 1914, defeating Liverpool FC 1-0 in the FA Cup final. The club’s first major league championship came during the 1920-21 season when they won England’s top flight after finishing second in the top flight in the prior season. After this point, league success would come at all levels of competition in England, but was interspersed with droughts in their form.

Burnley’s first game in the 2009-2010 Premiership will mark the completion of an astonishing turn around for a club that was on the brink of being relegated from the Football League all together in 1987.
