AVB: I’ll survive Euro crisis

CHELSEA boss Andre Villas-Boas yesterday insisted there was no chance of him being sacked if the club fail to reach the Champions League knockout phase or fall even further adrift in the Premier League in the coming days.

Speculation is rife over whether or not billionaire Blues owner Roman Abramovich will keep patience with Villas-Boas should the Portuguese fail to arrest the club’s nightmare start to the season.

Having been dumped out of the Carling Cup by Liverpool this week — albeit with a youthful team — Chelsea could find themselves out of the Champions League on Tuesday if they do not win, or keep a clean sheet, in their final Group E match against Valencia.
