Chelsea have told supporters that a redevelopment of Stamford Bridge won't be completed until at least 2030.
New owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, who are 'in regular contact' with the board of Chelsea Pitch Owners, told the fan group who own Stamford Bridge that a stadium expansion wouldn't be completed for another seven-and-a-half years.
The Blues are 'exploring all options' to upgrade their current home - and expected it would take four or five years to complete a rebuild if the team move out, or significantly longer if they decide on a 'stand-by-stand' refurb.
Planning permission to expand Stamford Bridge to a 60,000 capacity expired under Roman Abramovich's leadership of the club.
Chelsea have tasked co-owner Jonathan Goldstein with leading their look into a renewed expansion plan.
Their new owners also want to improve facilities at their Cobham training ground, which opened 15 years ago in 2007.
In October it was reported that Chelsea aim to start their plan to redevelop Stamford Bridge within the next year, according to Goldstein.
He said: 'We are looking very heavily at redevelopment... the planning process is something which we will start during the course of the next year and we'll hope central government will get behind it and see it as an engine for growth.
'The only problem, of course, is the management of interest rates because it makes it so much more expensive to develop.' When asked if the club would delay the process, he responded: 'No, no, we'll carry on as fast and as hard as we can.
'It is a big project and there are very many constituents involved and we are at the beginning. But we will carry on because we believe in the business, in Chelsea FC and the area and we know, over time, Stamford Bridge needs redevelopment.'
Stamford Bridge is significantly smaller than the rest of the 'Big Six' in the Premier League and previous owner Roman Abramovich had considered a new ground to bring them up to the same level as their main rivals.
Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has confirmed his commitment to a massive redevelopment of Stamford Bridge, despite fears of potentially moving the club elsewhere.
In December, it was reported that Chelsea had made an offer to acquire a crucial £50m site next to their ground.
Owner Todd Boehly made the offer for the 1.2 acre plot of land before an official cut-off date for bids passed early in December.
The site is seen as an important step towards the club making a £1billion revamp of Stamford Bridge.
Stoll placed the majority of its two-acre site up for sale in October. Chelsea are eager to snap up the land as their expansion plans are hampered by Stamford Bridge being tightly hemmed in by buildings and railway lines.

you just don't talk without facts, verify before you spill.. don't spill nonsense, in your own sense how can fullham own chelsea, you don't think? chelsea address is at fullham, not ownership gaddamit
Understanding English is not as easy as you think, you should have read this twice before commenting so that you will not come and disgrace yourself here. What I said never suggested saying Fulham owns Stamford Bridge but that it’s crazy how people thought Fulham owns Stamford bridge
