Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has refused to be drawn on whether he has spoken with owner Roman Abramovich and waved away questions about how long he has left to turn the club's fortunes around.
The Blues are struggling badly and have lost six of their opening eleven Premier League games, the latest being a 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool, and Mourinho is under severe pressure.
At a press conference today, ahead of Chelsea's Champions League game against Dynamo Kyiv tomorrow night, Mourinho was asked if he has met with Abramovich to gain his backing.
And the Portuguese shot back: "I don't have to answer. I don't have to answer you if I was with the owner or not."
Mourinho was also questioned about how long he feels he has to turn results around at Chelsea and responded by claiming he has the remaining length of his contract at the club.

"Four years. In this case three years and seven months", Mourinho replied.
Chelsea are desperate to get back to winning ways, but now face a battle to even qualify for next season's Champions League given their poor league results.
Pressure is also continuing to grow on Mourinho, who has been handed a one-match stadium ban by the English FA, due to kick in at the weekend against Stoke City.
