While there's still plenty of time left in the Premier League season, there has to be some panic over at Stamford Bridge at the moment. After a disappointing draw to Hull City at home on Saturday, Chelsea now sits in fourth place behind Aston Villa with 49 points. If Man United were to capitalize on the game in hand they currently own, they would be 10 points up on the club many thought would climb to the top this season. 

No one ever expected Chelsea to be in this position, and they have been incapable of producing any noteworthy results against their main competitors this season -- both away and at home. If this run of play continues, it could be time to start asking exactly how much more time Luiz Felipe Scolari will have as manager. We all know the big man upstairs doesn't stand for a lack of results given the amount of money on the field, and there's no reason to think he wouldn't pull another quick trigger if this current group doesn't shape up. It was a love affair at first with Scolari, who seemed to have his squad playing a more attractive type of football, but at the end of the day results are all that matter. 

So what do you think? Is Scolari's job in danger, and could a move happen soon if it doesn't look like the Blues are shaping up? Will he last past the end of the year?
