Chelsea Football Club in a surprising statement have announced that they will put their plans to expand their home stadium Stamford Bridge on indefinite hold due to ‘unfavourable investment climate’.
A statement on the club’s website read, “Chelsea Football Club announces today that it has put its new stadium project on hold. No further pre-construction design and planning work will occur. The club does not have a time frame set for reconsideration of its decision. The decision was made due to the current unfavourable investment climate.”
The announcement on Twitter has left the already dismayed Chelsea fans stunned with many venting their frustrations on the social media platform. Here are some of the best reactions:

Chelsea, what does this even mean? How is this an unfavourable climate for investment? Revenue booming and borrowing costs low.
