Potter to decide on West Ham or Wolves as approaches made – Jim White
White revealing that both the Irons and Wolves are interested in hiring Potter as their new boss is huge as they face each other in the Premier League on Monday [9 December].
Julen Lopetegui is facing an uncertain future at the London Stadium [The Athletic] after losing 3-1 to Leicester City on Tuesday [3 December], while Gary O’Neil is in a similar situation at Molineux following Everton’s 4-0 drubbing of the Wanderers on Wednesday [4 December].
Speaking on talkSPORT [4 December], Darren Bent suggested that Potter would be a great fit for the Irons, considering the players have at their disposal and it appears the hierarchy agree.
One would imagine the Hammers job would be more attractive to the former Chelsea boss than Wolves as they are evidently a bigger club.
The Fosun ownership’s persistence on a self-sustainable model at Molineux could also work in the East London outfit’s favour.
However, it remains to be seen what Potter ultimately decides to do.
