Chelsea still a threat in the title race says Sir Alex Ferguson – English Premier League

Question

Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson has come out before his team’s match against Newcastle United in the English Premier League and stated that Andre Villas Boas’ men are still a threat to Manchester United and other front runners in the English
Premier League title race despite their woeful run of form at the present moment in time.
 Sir Alex stated that Chelsea were the ones to look out as they have made an immense amount of progress over the last 10 or so years in the Premier League therefore one can expect them to make a comeback sometime in the present
league season. Chelsea’s manager Villas Boas is one of the favourites to get the sack this season if his team’s fails to do well in its next few matches.
 Chelsea will face exit from the UEFA Champions League if http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786’s Premier League title
race. Players such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Drogba-c11044 who carried Chelsea in the past have failed to perform up to expectations this season and therefore there is an extraordinary slump at Chelsea.
Sir Alex stated in his recent interview, "I would never dismiss Chelsea because the progress they have made in the last decade is there for everybody to see. They have won three titles; they have won the FA Cup a few times. They
are bang in there in the European competitions. They have reached semi-finals and a final. That experience will help them to come out of this bad spell."
He also added that teams like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 and Chelsea were too dangerous to be written off in the title race because their managers have the potential to build up their squads through the youth systems at the club. He specifically
said that in Arsenal’s case Wenger was getting criticism from all quarters early on in the season but since then the Frenchman has taken charge of the situation and the club is doing very well now and might even win the Premier League title.
