What West Ham senior players have told family and friends about Graham Potter revealed
Graham Potter is facing an increasingly uncertain future as West Ham manager.
Potter‘s side have struggled to perform so far this season, picking up just three points from their opening five Premier League games.
West Ham picked up a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the third game of the season, courtesy of a late flourish that saw them score three goals in the final eight minutes.
Since then, West Ham have fallen to defeat against Tottenham and Crystal Palace, results that left Potter under serious pressure at the London Stadium.

The 50-year-old has had an underwhelming eight months in charge and fans believe Potter’s days are numbered as West Ham boss.
Despite the noise surrounding Potter, the Telegraph reports that he has the support of his senior players, who believe Potter remains the best man to turn things around.
The newspaper added that it remains to be seen whether or not chairman David Sullivan and vice-chair Karren Brady will have their opinions swayed, with the duo the target of protests by West Ham supporters.
Potter has recognised that results have not been good enough, but remains hopeful that he can turn things around at the London Stadium.

Graham Potter running out of time to turn things around at West Ham
West Ham head to the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday, as they take on an improved Everton side who are 10th in the table.
The Hammers shared the points when they drew 1-1 at Goodison Park last season, a game where they conceded late.
However, West Ham will no doubt be looking further ahead at their schedule hoping that wins against bottom-half sides Brentford and Leeds can kick-start their flagging season.
Potter has not got long left to turn it around, with West Ham looking at appointing Nuno Espirito Santo or ex-boss Slaven Bilic, according to reports.
