Underfire Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas refused to walk out on the Blues, despite a poor spell of form that sees the West London side sitting in 5th outside of the Champions League qualification zone.
Chelsea paid a massive 15 million GBP to bring Villas-Boas to Stamford Bridge from Porto last summer, and he has endured a very difficult first season. So much so, that even club owner Roman Abramovich has called a summit and even watched training sessions to see the situation for himself.
But Villas-Boas insists he will not walk out on Chelsea, despite the mounting pressure: 'I'd never resign, I'd never give up. It's not part of my education.
"Failure to win any trophies at a club of this dimension is not good enough. It is something that we cannot accept and so we have to take responsibility for that, the management, for sure. It happened last year, after a double-winning side.
"If it happens this year again, we'll have to reflect more in depth on what is going wrong. There are signs of things you have to avoid.
''We have been underperforming. But we can still improve for the rest of the season."
