Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher can't see any future Chelsea owner matching the success of Roman Abramovich.
A number of billionaires have made their interest public to acquire the European champions but Carragher believes a simple transition that will see success immediately is unlikely, with Abramovich an owner unlike many others.
"I think whoever comes in and takes over from Roman Abramovich will find it very difficult to replicate the success that they've had," the former Liverpool defender told CBS Sport.
"You may find someone who is willing to put in the same money but it's the losses Chelsea have had that an owner is prepared to take.
"Changing managers over the years, players coming in left, right and centre, huge money spent on players and this isn't a club that generates huge money.
"They haven't got a massive stadium like you see at Manchester United, like Liverpool are trying to do now, look at Tottenham and Arsenal have got in terms of bringing money into the club. They have an owner who is prepared to write off money."
