On 29 November 2017, Chelsea became implicated in the United Kingdom football sexual abuse scandal after announcing it was investigating allegations of historical sexual abuse in the 1970s.Mendick, Robert; Rumsby, Ben (2016-11-30). "Exclusive: Chelsea made secret payment to player in child sex abuse claim". The Telegraph. ISSN0307-1235. Retrieved 2021-07-30."Chelsea open investigation into historical sex abuse allegations".

Retrieved 2021-07-30.{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link) Significant investigative allegations against the club claimed that a secret payment was made to a former player who had accused the club's ex-chief scout Eddie Heath of child sexual abuse. On 2 December, Gary Johnson came forward, saying he was paid £50,000 not to go public with allegations he was sexually abused by Heath. The following day, Chelsea apologised "profusely" to Johnson, who later demanded further financial compensation from the club. On 3 December, The Independent reported a Chelsea youth player's allegation that Dario Gradi, then Chelsea's assistant manager, visited the player's family's home to "smooth over" a complaint of sexual assault against Heath in 1974. Gradi was suspended by the FA on 11 December 2016 in relation to these allegations. In August 2019, Chelsea's board apologised "unreservedly" for the mistake of allowing Heath, a "prolific and manipulative sexual abuser", to operate "unchallenged"."Chelsea statement | Official Site | Chelsea Football Club".

The apology followed an inquiry led by barrister Charles Geekie QC which heard evidence from 23 witnesses, with 15 reporting "serious and unambiguous sexual assaults", including rape."Chelsea racism case a fight for 'justice and equality'".

It is not currently known how much total compensation Chelsea has paid themselves.
@Apeden56182 While we might long for a world where the men's and women's clubs are on equal footing, we aren't there yet, so it's reasonable that the primary topic sought by somebody looking for Chelsea F.C. is the men's club. —C.Fred (talk) 19:27, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Differentiating doesn’t make the title wrong, though. It makes it more accurate and therefore, more useful to anyone searching, wouldn’t you agree? Editors have a responsibility to use language in line with the times and I believe that here, we can make that progress. Apeden56182 (talk) 19:45, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Apeden56182 Except that it's not more accurate, because the name of the club is "Chelsea Football Club", not "Chelsea Men's Football Club". By contrast, the name of the women's club is "Chelsea Football Club Women".
If both clubs were just named "Chelsea Football Club", then we would need to call the article on the women's club "Chelsea Football Club (women)", but as long as the men's club remained the primary search topic, it could stay at "Chelsea Football Club" and not need moved to "Chelsea Football Club (men)". See Everton F.C. and Everton F.C. (women) for an example of how that is handled and note that Everton F.C. (men) does not even exist (yet). Also note that Everton F.C. refers to the English club, while Everton F.C. (Trinidad and Tobago) has a disambiguated title. —C.Fred (talk) 20:58, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
