Chelsea fans have been warned to expect on a curbing of transfer spending under Todd Boehly's consortium.
Boehly is now buying the club from Roman Abramovich.
Sports business analyst Darren Rovell believes Chelsea fans should brace themselves as there will be spending much less on transfers.
Rovell told The Sun: “Look, everyone is a downgrade from Roman.
"Boehly is not the billionaire that Roman was so I think if Chelsea fans got used to literally going after everyone and money not being any object - I don't expect that to be the case with the Boehly team."
The Russian's appointed brokers, the US-based Raine Group, have told Boehly that he must promise not to pay out dividends or take any management fees for a decade after the completion of the deal.
Rovell said: “You got a Russian oligarch who could spend as much as he wanted.
"I think money is going to be more strained because against the background of what Roman Abramovich could spend, they are not going to be spending as much."
