Chelsea's £126m shares slide
13 April 2012
Chelsea's need for Champions League qualification this season was emphasised today by the continuing decline of the club's value on the Stock Market.
Shares in parent company Chelsea Village, which includes non-football businesses, are trading at only 19.5p.
That is down from a peak of 94p two years ago and the slide since has wiped £126 million off the firm's valuation.
Chelsea play Fulham at Stamford Bridge tomorrow night and need to win to reduce the 11-point gap on Newcastle, who are fourth - the final Champions League qualifying place - in the Premiership.
