After a slew of offseason moves, the pressure is on Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho to deliver a title in 2014-15.
Given Roman Abramovich's historical impatience and the fact he has already granted Mourinho a season's grace without a trophy, the logical answer would suggest he would be relieved of his duties. Whether he should, though, will reside in the context of any perceived failure.
Should Chelsea experience the type of season that Manchester United did last campaign, then there is absolutely no chance of him being retained. Regression or even a lack of progression would be a huge concern and it would suggest that his magic had waned, at least in regard to Chelsea. However, were Mourinho to be pipped to the title by a narrow margin while claiming some silverware in the process then he will have earned another shot at it as long as the football on display was sufficiently entertaining. Plus, if he manages to win the Champions League, any failings domestically would be rendered virtually obsolete.
