Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay says the first 10 years of Roman Abramovich's reign have only been 'the tip of the iceberg'.
Revenue
Gourlay also believes that Chelsea will not be held back by Financial Fair Play regulations, despite their Stamford Bridge home being considerably smaller - and therefore generating less revenue - than a number of their European rivals.
He added: "The club continues to grow year on year.
"The latest Deloitte figures have us in fifth position, behind Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Bayern Munich. That is on revenues generated, which is a fantastic position for the club.
"The clubs above us have advantage over us, in particular the size of their grounds, and for Chelsea to be the fifth biggest in revenue terms and be outside the top 30 in Europe as far as stadium size is concerned is credit to the staff here."
