Kenyon: Blues will not be one-season wonders
Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon vowed to ensure that Chelsea’s impending Premiership success is the first of many titles – even though the club will rein in Jose Mourinho’s summer spending.
The Blues’ hopes of clinching the title without playing were last night foiled when Arsenal beat Tottenham, meaning they must win at Bolton on Saturday to make sure of success.
Kenyon is nevertheless already looking to the long-term, predicting that Chelsea will be one of the dominant forces in English football for years to come.
“What has happened this season is a remarkable achievement but there is nothing with the team or set-up that suggests it’s a one-off event. The key for us is that it’s sustainable,” he declared.
Chelsea can therefore be expected to invest in at least one world-class player this summer, with Steven Gerrard among those linked with Stamford Bridge.
Mourinho, who is also after a left-back, has nevertheless accepted that spending will be controlled – at least in comparison to the past two years, in which more than £200m (€293.8m) has been invested.
