A lack of stability - Chelsea employed three different managers (Dave Sexton, Ron Suart, Eddie McCreadie) - and a huge debt caused by the development of the new East Stand propelled Chelsea to the second tier. They won just once in their final 12 matches, also losing the FA Cup final to Tottenham at Wembley.
What happened next: After a year of consolidation in the Second Division, Chelsea were promoted in 1976, led by a young Ray Wilkins.
I think that was 1967. West Ham beat Fulham 2-0 in the 1975 FA Cup Final iirc. There was a relegation decider at White Hart Lane when Spurs beat Chelsea at the end of the season.
Chelsea were actually promoted in 1977 (season 76/77).
The print edition was even worse, stating that Chelsea went straight back up the following season.

There are an amazing number of factual errors in the online football articles of broadsheet papers , the Guardian is just as bad.
When the writers can check this stuff in seconds there is no excuse. IMO it is most of these writers are aged under 30 .The old time journos would just know this stuff anyway. |
