I remember something about when they were rebuilding the West Stand, the council wouldn't allow them to build the 2nd tier until they owned the freehold. I think they sold 10 year leases on the 10 new exec boxes priced at £1m per season to raise cash.
There's this in Wiki about the Chelsea Pitch Owners. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Pitch_Owners
The CPO also owns the name Chelsea Football Club Ltd, which is licenced back to the club on condition that the first team play their home matches at Stamford Bridge. This means that should Chelsea move to another stadium in the future, they would not be able to use the name Chelsea Football Club without permission from 75% of CPO shareholders.[4]
That's ****ing superb
What a fine mess Chelsea FC have found themselves in

WTF?? That's a crazy situation
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
