Conquer Europe or face the axe

Summary:
Andre Villas-Boas is the new Chelsea FC manager. Only a couple of days ago he left Porto to sign a new contract with London Football Club Chelsea, but if he doesn't deliver; he will get sent back on the next flight. With next to no experience, hiring Andre is quite a risk. He's going to need all the luck in the world.
Chelsea has a reputation that if managers don't deliver and make them win a cup or champions league, they get sacked immediately. This puts an awful amout of pressure on the new manager, who is about the same age as top players Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and John Terry.

Roman Abrovich, who owns Chelsea, is really wealthy so he can hire and sack any manager he doesn't like or simply doesn't live up to the standards. He doesn't come under any pressure from the supporters. In the past 4 yeras, he's already spent more than £50m hiring and firing managers.

Personal opinion:
I'm a Chelsea fan myself, so I really hope this guy is going to get us to the top. I'd hate to see another manager leave after one season, just because we didn't win. I don't think this is gonna do the team any good. A couple of weeks ago there were some rumours going around that Hiddink might be the new manager. Personally, I think he'd be a better choice because he knows all about English football. Andre Villas-Boas used to be manager of Porto, and it's a whole different kind of football they play there. You can't compare UK football to that they play Southern Europe. Like I said, I hope he does deliver and stays for a bit longer than the other managers did.
