Another great Bielsa article
http://www.theguardian.com/football/...-ham-marseille
"Bielsa to West Ham remains an unlikely dream. But take a step back and there is a case to be made here. West Ham’s fans demand attacking, progressive football, which is pretty much all Bielsa is interested in. The current owners seem to want a long-term plan and Bielsa is all about plans. This is a club that has traditionally allowed its mangers to settle and which also isn’t afraid of a certain academic intensity, from Malcolm Allison and the Cafe Cassettari set, with their tactical arguments over the squeeze ketchup bottle; to Ron Greenwood – in his own way a kind of homespun proto-Bielsa, – the tracksuit obsessive with his Hungarian fixation, his endless hours on the training pitch before eventually being dragged off in a daze still muttering about plans and formulae."
What I've been saying all along. Hallelujah!
