DEFEAT WOULD LEAVE CARLO FEELING 'BLUE'

Tuesday night will be the biggest fixture in Carlo Ancelotti's and Chelsea's recent history should the two wish to still be united in the summer.

Defeat for Chelsea in the Champions League Quarter-Final against great rivals Manchester United will more than likely bring Ancelotti's tenure at Stamford Bridge to an end this summer.

Roman Abramovich is losing patience with the Italian if media reports are to be believed after the Stamford Bridge outfit look likely to end the season without a trophy-just one year after winning the double.

So what has changed at Stamford Bridge? Well the answer to that is not a lot. Put aside the ridiculous £50 Million man Fernando Torres and not much else has changed, leaving Ancelotti with the same ageing side that limped to the double last year.

Putting further pressure on the Manager is the fact that Torres has so far been a flop- no goals in 10 games, certainly not value for money - especially when its the money of a man that has put almost a Billion pound into the club since taking over and recieved nothing for it. This season at least anyway.

So can Ancelotti keep his job at the Bridge beyond this season? Surprisingly the answer is yes, however it will take a huge turnaround of form to do it. That turnaround MUST start at Old Trafford on Tuesday night and Chelseas MUST win the Champions League trophy for Carlo still to be in town next season.

The worry for Chelsea, United are on top form and currently sit seven points clear of Arsenal in the League, face Man City in a FA Cup Semi-Final on Saturday and are looking for another treble under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Another concern to Ancelotti will be Wayne Rooney who will be eager to play his part in United's success after missing last weekends clash with Fulham and next weekends Semi-Final date against rivals City thanks to his foul mouthed rant down the camera during the West Ham game.

I fear time is up for Ancelotti at Chelsea as Abramovich simply wont accept a trophy-less season, especially after splashing £50 Million on Torres.

What do you think? Can Ancelotti keep his job at Stamford Bridge? Who could Chelsea replace him with? And do you think there is any truth in rumours that Torres will be sold in the summer?

As always, let me know!!!
