There’s a new trend in offshoring- apparently China will get Chelsea’s help for it’s beleaguered national team as they prepare for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

Beyond Chelsea, Real Madrid last year signed on to provide sporting, commercial and managerial support to Beijing Guo’an, while Scotland’s Glasgow Rangers has a coaching and management partnership with former Chinese champion Shenzhen.
