English champions Chelsea are drawing up plans to leave Stamford Bridge in a
bid to rival Manchester United and become the biggest club in the world, chief
executive Peter Kenyon said.
"By 2014 we want to
be internationally recognised as the No.1 club," Kenyon was quoted as saying by
British newspapers on Friday.
"I think it's pretty clear we can't get to where we want to here. We have
said we would like the stadium to be bigger, but that's not going to be at the
expense of moving to Brussels or Milton Keynes."
Before Sunday's clash at Premier League leaders United, Kenyon also said
manager Jose Mourinho was a key part of the club's long-term plans and quashed
any talk of him leaving. Mourinho said at the end of last season that he had
considered quitting.
