Current season
Founded in 1905, the club's home ground since then has been Stamford Bridge.[7] Chelsea won its only First Division title in 1955, but saw limited success in various cup competitions until 2003, when the club was purchased by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.[8] Chelsea then saw heavy investment, and have since won 18 honours under Abramovich, second in that time only to Manchester United.[9][10]
José Mourinho is the club's most successful manager in terms of the number of major honours won, and his title-winning team set an English record for points between 2004 and 2005.[note 1] Chelsea have traditionally wore a royal blue kit with white socks, and the club's crest features a ceremonial lion rampant regardant holding a staff.[11] The club have rivalries with neighbouring clubs Fulham, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur.
In terms of club value, Chelsea are the seventh most valuable football club in the world, worth £1.54 billion ($2.06 billion), and are the eighth highest-earning football club in the world, with earnings of over €428 million in the 2017–18 season.[12][13] Based on attendance figures, the club have the sixth-largest fanbase in England.[14]
