Abramovich could sack Chelsea boss AVB before Napoli
Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas could be shown the door by Roman Abramovich in the next week.
The Daily Mail says Abramovich is considering whether to fire his manager before next week's Champions League clash with Napoli.
He does not have a ready-made replacement, although yet another SOS call to Guus Hiddink, who revived Chelsea's fortunes in 2008, is not out of the question.
Chelsea's players were furious they were made to train. Some believe it is only a matter of time before Villas-Boas is fired and other members of staff believe he has been so overwhelmed by the position they are starting to feel sorry for him.

Chelsea is slipping and people is talking about giving the manager time, look at Liverpool now they dont know how to get back to the top 4 even with quality players and am not expecting Chelsea to make that same mistake by dropping out the big 4. Remember Arsene Wenger is giving the lot of time at Arsenal and yet nothing is achieve for 5 solid years now. Chelsea need Coaches who can match what the players can deliver not to transform them which is totally impossible or take more than 10years. Jose Mourinho, Guus Hiddink and Ancelotti has done it in the past and why not we consider one of this options? AVB coaching ability and experience is not up to level of Chelsea who compete with Real Madrid,Barcelona,AC milan,Man.U and Inter milan for European glory. AVB can do better but with average clubs like F C Porto,Everton, Napoli, Villa real, PSG and not Chelsea one of the biggest in Europe so Chelsea need to reconsider the their option about him because the club is falling.God Help us.
i think chelsea need to buy Luca Modric, Edison Cavani, Angel Di Maria, in summer but if AVB fail to qualify for the champions league spot he shoule be sack and bring back the special one (Jose Mourinho)
Avb was doing well if not for that useless howard webb usless man i hate him, but i think avb should go and guus should come.
