The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Monday 12th January 2026!

Morning all!

How is it still the 12th of January? It feels like about the 112th of January! Anyways, I hope you all had a great weekend.

Liam Rosenior’s first game as Chelsea boss and what a good one it was. The Blues won 5-1 away from home against Charlton Athletic in the third round of the FA Cup, and it was a nice tidy way for Liam to begin his Chelsea reign.

You can grab my reactions, report, and full thoughts on the game here. There’s something about Mary (Liam).

The Score jumped on this weekend and had to admit that he might have got his predictions wrong this season. However, as he explains here, it’s not all doom and gloom.

I also had a sourced transfer article out yesterday that would have gone to your emails. But if you missed it, find out about Manchester City’s interest in Marc Cucurella here, and one replacement name that could come up.

How should a football club be run in terms of the structure at the very top? Well, I’ve put my ideology on that here. Why did I do this? I have no idea really. But I just want to see the club setup like this, I guess.

As always, I rounded up all the general Chelsea news from Sunday in the same place here. Your Blues News Report!

See you all on the next live blog from around 8.45am this morning!

Peace, Si.
