Bielsa will cross language barrier
The Argentinian is keen to ply his trade in the Premier League and has made it clear though intermediaries that he’s ready to cross the language barrier should be become the club’s favoured candidate.
He believes that he would have a workable grasp of the language in four to six months.
The Hammers board remain keen on the 59 year old but his lack of English and Premier League experience are worries although one source said: “They are not necessarily issues that can’t be overcome. Certainly he would be ready to learn English.”
David Moyes remains in the frame and Rafa Benitez would be the dream appointment although ClaretandHugh was told on March 30 ( https://www.claretandhugh.info/hammers-on-the-rafa-link/) : “Our understanding is that he wants either Liverpool or Manchester City.
“He’s a top manager and most clubs would be interested should be become interested but whether we could attract him is another question. ”
And sources inside West Ham admitted to ClaretandHugh confirmed an earlier story that any talks aimed at securing him anyway would have to start at around £6 million.
