Blues ready to splash some cash

(12-12-2010) Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti will spend heavily in January – but only if he hasn’t been sacked by then. A poor run of form that has seen the reigning EPL champions take five points from a possible 18 has left the Italian’s job in doubt. Earlier this week he met owner Roman Abramovich to secure cash to strengthen his faltering squad. "We spoke about the situation. If we need to improve our squad in January, the owner is available for us to do this,” said Ancelotti ahead of the club’s clash with Tottenham on Sunday. “Our aim for now is the three games against Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal. Our destiny passes through these games.” He added: "I don't fear for my job. I feel I have the total support of my players, which is very important. I feel I have the total support of my club.”
