Graham Potter clings to West Ham job as Monday sack update emerges from London Stadium
Graham Potter could be staring the exit door in the face at West Ham.
West Ham most recently lost to Crystal Palace at the London Stadium, piling further pressure on the English head coach.
David Sullivan could look to sack Potter in the coming weeks, after what has been a hugely frustrating start to the season in East London.
There has been very little positivity surrounding the Hammers, something which has resulted in Slaven Bilic being linked with a West Ham return should the current boss leave.
A fresh sack update has now emerged for Potter on 22 September, which could have a telling say on the future of the ex-Chelsea boss in charge of the claret and blue outfit.
Graham Potter under increasing West Ham pressure
It is fair to say that the Irons’ boss is feeling the scrutiny after Potter’s sharp tone with Ian Abrahams in the West Ham press conference after the Palace defeat.
The fans have largely grown impatient with the Englishman, with many now resigned to the fact that he will lose his job in the near future.
This has been echoed by the Daily Mirror on 22 September, with the newspaper reporting that Potter is “clinging to his job” at the London Stadium.
West Ham last five results:
- West Ham 1-2 Crystal Palace
- West Ham 0-3 Tottenham
- Nottingham Forest 0-3 West Ham
- Wolves 3-2 West Ham
- West Ham 1-5 Chelsea
The hierarchy in E20 are now said to be “seriously considering” a change in leadership in the Hammers’ dugout right now.
This has seen Bilic, Nuno Espirito Santo, Gary O’Neil and Sean Dyche be considered to take over as head coach in East London, potentially.
West Ham’s board now have a decision to make in the coming days and weeks over the future of Potter, with the upcoming clash against Everton seen as crucial.
West Ham can’t wait to sack Graham Potter
Realistically, things aren’t going to get suddenly better for Potter after what has been a dismal spell in charge of the claret and blue outfit.
Having taken over over eight months ago, there is little reason to suspect that his side will turn a corner and be massively improved any time soon.
As a result, it would make total sense to move the former Brighton head coach on to welcome in a fresh face for the rest of the campaign.
It is yet to be seen whether Sullivan and Co. will be brave enough to make that decision, but it does feel necessary at this stage of the campaign.
