New Hammers manager report so wrong

|

By Hughie Southon

Here we go again with the guessing game as far as management replacements at the Hammers and Palace are concerned.

According to a report from London World, Rafa Benitez is on the Eagles’ radar.

But it declares, however, that the experienced Spaniard is believed to be closely monitoring the situation with David Moyes at West Ham.

Quite how that piece of non fiction works who knows because the Hammers aren’t the slightest bit interested in the 62 year old despite constant  reports here and elsewhere.

We have been told on at least three occasions from separate sources he wants a three year deal the Hammers are unprepared to offer even if they were interested in him which they really are not.

Once again, however, it will show should he move in at Selhurst Park that he and, by the way, Marcelo Bielsa are the only options around with the former Leeds boss also looking for a three year contract.
