Graham Potter’s job at West Ham United is safe for now, according to talkSPORT.
After an uninspiring second half of the season under Graham Potter last season, the new season hasn’t started any differently; in fact, it’s got worse with two heavy defeats to Sunderland and Chelsea.
The fans are very worried about what might happen this season, especially if Graham Potter stays in charge for much longer. There is a huge section of fans who have seen enough and want him to be replaced now.
However, the board doesn’t share the same opinion. David Sullivan is concerned with Potter’s record of 5 wins in 20 Premier League games, but won’t bite the bullet just yet, according to talkSPORT.
Vice-chair Karren Brady has defended the former Brighton and Chelsea manager publicly. She said: “I spent a lot of time with the manager and the squad in America on the preseason tour. The spirit amongst them is fantastic. I know that they’ll be more disappointed, that they’ll be the most disappointed people this morning.
“I know we’ll see a reaction and I know they want to turn it around and they’ll want to turn it around quickly.
“Graham is a forward thinking manager. He’s sort of calm under pressure. He’s very detailed in his approach. He’s a great man, manager of players.
“He builds a special relationship with players, and they understand where he’s coming from.
“He has a modern mindset, and all of those things mean it does take some time to put a team together, to get the team playing the way that you want.
“West Ham is not a club that panics about its managers. We tend to stick with them, tend to support people, stick with them and see it through.
“I really hope he does well. He’s a pleasure to work with. He’s incredibly professional. I know the players respect him.
“I know his relationship with the players is good. I know he’ll be sitting down with them today to have a long, hard think about what went wrong yesterday (against Chelsea), expecting a reaction and expecting to put it right.”
