Chelsea sign........don't get excited it's a book deal

Last updated : 22 March 2010 By Paul Lagan

If you buy a Chelsea book in the near future it will almost certainly be published by a company called Sport Media.

That company is owned by publisher Trinity Mirror.

The two parties have signed a two-year deal with a minimum of four titles to be published.

The company already has deals in place with Liverpool and has previously worked with Everton and Birmingham City.

As Chelsea look to be getting better value from all their contractors, those people working for the company that delivers the Matchday Programme are sweating about their job security.

A source from the compamy ProgrammeMasters had told Chelsea-Mad that Chelsea are looking to tender the contract for their award-winning publication and it might not get a renewal.

"We are all hearing about Chelsea ditching us," the source revealed.

"We work extremely hard and long hours as it is to get the progarmme and magazine out - it's difficult to know how much better value can be squezzed out of us."

 

Pssst - wanna be in with a chance win tickets to see Chelsea v Aston Villa on Saturday?
