Chelsea show interest in signing Manchester City starlet James McAtee.
According to the Express, Chelsea are facing another issue in their re-development of Stamford Bridge. This after a military veteran has taken the issue to court in an injunction in order to stop the club from buying a 1.2-acre area of land for their plans.
The Blues are set to invest £1.5 billion in stadium renovation after agreeing to spend £49.35 million to buy the land and put their plans into action. The five-year development was supposed to be completed in 2023, but the club could have to delay the plan as the area is occupied by 100 military veterans and their war widows.
A few of them are not happy that they will have to relocate, and Wandsworth County Court, London, received an injunction issuing the concern. The charity that has provided the houses to veterans hasn’t made the decision to allow the Blues to take over the land.
If our plans come to a halt, Chelsea will need to revisit their strategy and iron out a new plan. This involves requesting a $500 million investment from Ares Management, thus brings the overall cost of the process to the amount of $2.3 billion.
Given the amount of money we will be spending on the construction of our new stadium, Chelsea do not want to pay unnecessary fees for an injunction. It is understandable if those veterans don’t want to go, and the onus is now on the club to show them the necessary respect and potentially provide alternative solutions.
It is preferable for the club to come to a comfortable agreement with the charity and ensure everyone involved in the deal wins. It is unbecoming of a club of our reputation to cause trouble to veterans and their dependents just to push infrastructure developments.
