Chelsea started the season with John Neal as their new manager, following Geoff Hurst's dismissal at the end of the previous season. Despite Neal's arrival, the team finished 12th in the Second Division for the second year in a row. The season's standout achievement was reaching the FA Cup quarter-finals, marking their first appearance in a cup quarter-final since 1973, which included a notable 2–0 victory over reigning European champions Liverpool. Off the pitch, businessman Ken Bates bought the club for £1 in April 1982.
