After 15 years of unsuccessful attempts to build a new stadium with a capacity of 60,000 spectators, the Chelsea club still faces a major impasse; A project that may cost up to five billion pounds, and now the name of Andy Burnham, the British Prime Minister, has also been mentioned as a possible cause of its opening. According to the "Sun" newspaper, despite the change in Chelsea's ownership structure and the purchase of the shares of Todd Boley and Mark Walter by Clearlake Capital in September 2026, the obstacles to the construction of the new stadium still remain. Chelsea currently have two main options: move to the Earls Court area in West London or demolish and rebuild the historic Stamford Bridge stadium. The main problem is that the Earls Court Development Company received the initial approval to carry out a project that includes residential buildings, offices and public areas, and there is no stadium in its approved plan. However, Chelsea managers hope that Andy Burnham's policy to increase the building of social and affordable housing will prompt a review of the Earl's Court scheme and provide an opportunity for the club to enter into this project.
