Chelsea great Petr Cech says fans must be patient with the new owners.
Cech feels it will take time for the team to match the success of the recent past.
If you speak about a league title, this season is not going they way they wished for," Cech said on Sky Sports.
If they can have a really good strong end of the season and build up for the next season, maybe that's the season where Chelsea can climb up the table, challenging for top four.
The season after, is the first realistic year for Chelsea to challenge for the title."
He added: "The takeover itself is a big change. You have a new owner with a new vision, a new style, a new way they want the club to be run.
"That takes some adaptation, it includes the players and everybody working for the club. These things take time. The team was built a certain way but since I've left, there was a complete remake of the squad and it's challenging for everybody when you have a lot of changes.
"Some of the players probably came in with huge expectations, with a lot of money being spent of them, which creates even more pressure. When the results aren't there, this squad is really young and I think they sometimes find it hard to live up to those expectations."
