So we are talking Aston Villa, Wolves and West Ham United.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">I don\u2019t see the panic button being pressed at all at Villa unless something absolutely catastrophic and unexpected happens. Unai Emery is a superb manager with an outstanding record and they will trust him to get it right.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Vitor Pereira clearly has the faith of the Wolves hierarchy as they have just given him a new contract \u2013 although we all know what happens if teams keep losing games. It is then when faith is truly tested.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">This leaves Graham Potter at West Ham United. The feeling there is he is in real trouble but the Hammers\u2019 plight is not just down to him. You have to look at poor managerial appointments and poor signings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8216;I don&#8217;t see the panic button being pressed at Villa&#8217;published at 15:37 BST 15:37 BST Q&amp;A with Phil&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":164183,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-164182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164182\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
