Ruud Gullit says top four failure for Chelsea would be a "MONUMENTAL DISASTER". Failure to beat United at Stamford Bridge today could see Chelsea trail the leaders by a huge 15 points and left desperately clinging to fourth place with other clubs breathing down their necks.
"And I don't understand Chelsea's policies; there is a need for greater transparency at the club. If they are going through a period of transition, it's extremely difficult to be objective and criticise.
"If they want to change things, you can only be objective over a greater period of time.
"But what are Chelsea's real expectations? In the current climate, it is very difficult to say. Failure to secure at least fourth place and qualification for the Champions League would be a monumental disaster - however you dress it up.
"If 'success now' is part of Villas-Boas's remit, then you understand fans' frustrations."Gullit explained to the Sunday Mirror: "I was dismayed by the sacking of Carlo Ancelotti last season and can't say I really know the reasons it came about.
