Renowned Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol seems to be the only person West Ham chief David Sullivan is still communicating with, and he has provided a significant update on the future of Graham Potter.
Strong speculation suggests that Potter is on the brink of being fired by West Ham. Despite his best efforts, including taking over at the London Stadium in January, Potter has been unable to turn things around for the struggling team.
The decline of West Ham began before Potter’s arrival, tracing back to David Moyes’ underwhelming stint as manager. The Hammers were performing well, even sitting in the top six halfway through a season, but their form has since deteriorated drastically.
Potter’s record has not been much better, with only six wins in 25 games during his time at West Ham. With the recent defeat to Crystal Palace and poor performances in crucial matches, the pressure on Potter has escalated.
The board has reportedly engaged in discussions with potential replacements for Potter, indicating that a decision on his future may be imminent. Despite Sullivan’s warning to Potter to secure ‘four or five points’ from the next few games, it seems increasingly unlikely given the team’s performance and upcoming fixtures against tough opponents.
Fans are growing frustrated with the board’s indecision and reluctance to make a change. Many believe that delaying the decision to sack Potter is detrimental to the team’s chances of survival in the league.
In the midst of uncertainty and tension within the club, Solhekol’s updates provide insight into the ongoing drama at West Ham. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether Potter will remain in charge or if a new manager will be brought in to steer the Hammers in a new direction.
