West Ham chiefs get truly desperate with latest Graham Potter sack update
West Ham are still considering Graham Potter’s future after the 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.
West Ham fans lined the streets leading to the London Stadium before the game, in protest against senior figures at the Hammers.
David Sullivan and Karren Brady both had differing opinions when appointing Potter, and they now appear uncertain on a potential replacement for the 50-year-old.
With protests expected to ramp up in the coming weeks, whispers continue to come out of East London that progress is anticipated.
Mood at West Ham ‘positive’ despite Graham Potter sack claims
Sullivan is expected to wait until October to decide on Potter, with big games against Everton and Arsenal ahead.
Nuno Espirito Santo has been lined up by West Ham should they choose to part ways with the ex-Chelsea boss.
However, leaked information from Rush Green suggests that no change is expected any time soon.
Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solehkhol reported in a breaking news update on 24 September that all focus is on the Hammers securing a win next time out against the Toffees.
He said: “I’m being told that the mood at the training ground is very positive. It’s calm and settled at the moment. And Potter still has significant support among the players.
“My information is that the squad are really united to get back to winning ways.”
Sullivan appears to be holding out on hope that things will work out with Potter at West Ham, with supporters speculating over whether the Welsh businessman is willing to pay him off.

West Ham desperation on display after leaked information from Rush Green
The news coming out of East London is a clear show of desperation from the Hammers.
It’s clear that under Potter, things aren’t going to get any better, and holding out hopes of improvement is useless.
- Scott Parker is the latest candidate to emerge for the West Ham job
- Potter has won just six games in charge of the Hammers, with two of them coming at home
- He has a points per game record of 1
The 50-year-old has no excuses after a full preseason to prepare his squad, and simply must go.
Trying to convince West Ham fans that everything is positive going into the game against the Toffees appears to be a ploy to get them off the owners’ backs, and it won’t work.
If Sullivan and Brady want to get supporters back on side, they simply must part ways with Potter and bring in Nuno.
