The West Ham United owners have three managers in mind to replace David Moyes, if the Scot is eventually sacked.
The Hammers are in all sorts of trouble at the moment, and are currently sitting just outside the relegation zone, only two points clear of bottom placed Southampton.
It really has been a disastrous Premier League campaign so far, especially considering the fact that Moyes spent £170 million on strengthening his squad at the London Stadium in the summer.
In spite of all that, it appears as though Moyes still has the full support of the club’s owners.
I struggle to see a scenario whereby he remains in the job, should we lose to Leeds on Wednesday night.
And if he is moved on, the Hammers owners seemingly have a very ambitious shortlist of potential replacements lined up…
Three replacements eyed if David Moyes is sacked
The Daily Mail claim that Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Tuchel and Marcelo Bielsa feature on the West Ham owners’ three-man shortlist of possible replacement for the Scot, should they decide to part ways with him.
The first two names may well be slightly ambitious, although there is nothing wrong with coming for the stars of course.
Meanwhile, Bielsa seems like a realistic shout. He certainly has real pedigree in the game.
And if it’s attractive football that the Hammers fans want, the ex-Leeds boss is the man for the job.
Bielsa was sacked by Leeds in February of this year. He worked wonders at Elland Road, bringing the Whites back to the Premier League.
However, the Argentinian did receive a lot of criticism for the way in which he set up his teams to attack, without placing much emphasis on defence.
That eventually cost him his job, as Leeds began to tumble down the table last season.
Bielsa is an absolute visionary though. He is the hero of the likes of Pep Guardiola. And I for one would absolutely love to see what he could do with the players we have at the London Stadium.
If David Moyes is asked, and Bielsa is brought in, football would undoubtedly be enjoyable for the West Ham fans again.
However, whether he is the man to to take us to a whole new level entirely is debatable.
