IRONMIKE? Do you really think that Marco Bielsa would be interested in the job at West ham if it became vacant and how do you think our players would adapt.

I've just seen him with his Marseille players in training and he beasts them. Sure, we would be really fit (and to play his all out attack and high press we would have to be), but am not sure how the players would take to it

To be honest, the players look unfit at the moment and if Sam says we've had too many fixtures its rubbish.

Simeone and his Athletico Madrid last year had 2 games a week, and it was only until Champions League final that they looked jaded, so don't moan to the fans they are tired.

Train them properly and they can cope

{Ed001's Note - Simeone is another Bielsa acolyte as well, along with Guardiola.}

Hi phil, answer, why not?he may feel the need to prove himself in what is considered the most competitive league in the world, and certainly, the most known, and televised, inter are hot on him for sure, but his entry would " probably" demand an even bigger turnaround with players than anticipated, as his system is a mile away from where we are, Benitez would 100 per cent jump on this job, he would I suspect be more interested in budget kitty and his methods being taken up, than argue on salary, what Sam gets would suit Benitez, he feels he has something to prove in England, and he is not a pauper, de boer, has shown no interest, but it's early days, all these plus other candidates, would have there own ideas on incoming players, and might feel that some of the existing players are just not good enough, if a serious charge at being atop club is really intended, what happens at the end of the season, manager, and player wise, will truly show where the limit of ambitions lie IRONMIKE

IRONMike, as always our views are honest and appreciated

I'm looking forward to the summer with great anticipation.

It amazes me that Citeh have lost patience with Pellegrini and are lining up Gurdiola to replace him in the summer??

And then you look at our situation and the doubt that surrounds Allardyce's position.
