Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou was asked for his opinion on Chelsea's recent struggles.
The North London club are enjoying a great season under the Australian coach, as they are top of the Premier League.
However, the Blues have not fared as well under ex-Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, as they sit in 11th place.
Asked about the Blues spending so much money and yet still struggling, Postecoglou told reporters: “I'm reticent to comment on those kind of things because what I know is you don't really know what challenges exist until you're in it.
“Even here, people can assume what kind of challenges I had coming in but it is probably not a tenth of what we had to do or what I felt needed to change. Whether that's Mauricio or any other manager I guess, you don't really know what they are having to deal with to get to the end point.
“But at the same time, while others may look at it and say 'that's a real difficult one', there will be managers saying 'I wish I had a billion to spend and waste' because what some people sometimes see as an advantage, others see as a disadvantage.
“That's the challenge for all us managers. I really think we are all in our own unique space that nobody can really understand because none of us can really disclose all the information because that's the way organizations work. What I have to deal with and what Mauricio has to deal with are probably very, very different. But in essence what we are trying to do is the same thing: build a team that we believe can bring success. You look at Mauricio's track record and I've got no doubt he'll get Chelsea on the right path, I've no doubt about that. How he goes about that, he knows better than anyone else."
He then added on whether he would want to spend so much money on new players: “Not necessarily. I've always said I've never felt it is about just spending money. That's been proved time and time again. Yeah, look if you get it all right then you've got a pretty strong case but there's always a limit to every team.
“You can't have 24 world class players. That will never work. It doesn't work, its been proven. Its about having a squad that's balanced, guys that are committed to a cause, guys that maybe aren't going to play every game but every time they play they are going to make a huge impact for you because they buy into what you are trying to build.
“Just spending endless money to get the best players has been proven time and time again is not the answer. The answer is to get the right chemistry in your team, in your squad, to have 24 players committed to one cause. I don't think you can do that If you just get the 24 best players in the world. That's a headache I definitely don't want."
