A memorial space has been set up at Stamford Bridge for Ken Bates. It’s next to the Tea Bar but hasn’t been publicised. 🤷♂️
As you can see tributes are sparse. If you're near Stamford Bridge think about leaving a tribute.
🚨UPDATE: Despite agreeing a £117m deal for Morgan Rogers, only £23.4m will count on Chelsea's books for the 2026/27 season due to amortisation.
While Aston Villa will receive the agreed transfer fee, Chelsea are able to spread the accounting cost across the length of Rogers' long-term contract, significantly reducing this season's PSR impact.
This means the Blues can still remain aggressive in the transfer market, with plans to strengthen at centre-back, left-back and midfield before the window closes.
It's another example of how BlueCo continue to use long-term contracts to maximise spending power while remaining within Premier League and UEFA financial regulations.
