MVFC & CFC have signed a mutually beneficial partnership where MVFC Youth will have the esteemed doors of the Chelsea Youth Academy opened to develop them into the stars of the future. Chelsea see Melbourne as a hotspot of potential Chelsea talent.

On the flipside, Chelsea will utilise Melbourne Victory as a club to send their own up-and-coming players on loan as to keep them fit when they are not receiving game time in the English Premier League. Chelsea have agreed in principle to a season-long loan of 20 year old England U21 international right-back Sam Hutchinson as an injury replacement for Matthew Kemp in the 2010/2011 A-League season.

Proof of the agreement has started appearing around Stamford Bridge on game day.

Just another reason to hate Melbourne I guess.

Great news!

Nice work.

You guys might have a partnership with the English "Blues", but we've got a partnership with the American "Blues". Yep, the super soccer world power, otherwise known as Miami FC!

^ say it aint so. how will we ever compete? ;)

O lol. Logo of MVFC at stamford bridge BEFORE any announcement? Good effort. :lol:

Fuck yes.

Would love to see perhaps one loan a year from Chelsea, really make use of the tie. Could also see Chelsea downunder maybe once every two years? Heck, maybe even every year, take the long route home from their American tour and play a game of footy \:d/

That'd be soooo gooooooood!!! is it true??? is it?? is it???

If its true, then thats fantastic for the HAL.

Gael Kakuta to the HAL anyone? :P

Wow that's a really nice catch there. Good sighting!

Hmm dont get your hopes to high up. Remember Central Coast have a partnership with Sheffeild Utd and Perth are a feeder club to Man City and neither have gotten any major or obvious benefits from these agreements.

NO!
NO!
NO!

why did my favourite club have to team up with my least favourite club?

:lol:

Morris, biggest bullshit. Nice Photoshop job. :P

These types of agreements are ridiculous. As has been said, CCM and Perth got nothing out of their deals with Sheffield and City, and let's not forget the Football Kingz had a deal going with Chelsea (in which nothing happened) while the New Zealand Knights had a deal going with Charlton which yielded similar fruit.

I stand corrected, the Charlton coach (whose name escapes me, you know, the ugly guy) visited one of our games at North Harbour Stadium and mentioned that are facilities are better than those of Portsmouth. He then said how with a bit more organization and money we'd be a far better club, 6 months later we folded. Add to all that his trip here was to visit family, just so happened the Knights got wind of it and he was to polite to deny them.

:lol: Was gonna say. With no link or actual news article i was suspicious from the start. It'd be good if it was even remotly true, but this is a case of wake up to reality my friend.

Definitely not photoshop.

Spirit - Rangers
Kingz - Chelsea
Knights - Charlton
Glory - Leeds
Glory - Man City
Mariners - Sheffield United
Victory - Chelsea

Who wants to add to the list of joke partnerships ? We could make the definitive list.

A-Temp stop turning out to be a party popper[-x

Actually it has turned out to be true. MVFC even confirmed it... :lol:
