most recently lost to Crystal Palace<\/a> at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamzone.com\/stadium\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">London Stadium<\/a>, piling further pressure on the

target=\"_blank\">David Sullivan could look to sack Potter<\/a> in the coming weeks, after what has been a hugely frustrating start to the season in East London.<\/p>\n<p>There has been very little positivity surrounding the Hammers, something which has resulted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamzone.com\/exclusives\/slaven-bilic-deal-will-be-costly-for-west-ham-short-term-deal-touted\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Slaven Bilic being linked with a West Ham return<\/a> should the current boss leave.<\/p>\n<p>A fresh sack update has now emerged for <a

boss in charge of the claret and blue outfit.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"

ImagoGraham Potter under increasing West Ham pressure<\/p>\n<p>It is fair to say that the Irons\u2019 boss is feeling the scrutiny after <a

Ian Abrahams in the West Ham press conference<\/a> after the Palace defeat.<\/p>\n<p>The fans have largely grown impatient with the Englishman, with many now resigned to the fact that he will lose his job in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>This has been echoed by the Daily Mirror on 22 September, with the newspaper reporting that Potter is \u201cclinging to his job\u201d at the London Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>West Ham last five results:<\/p>\n<p>West Ham 1-2 Crystal PalaceWest Ham 0-3 TottenhamNottingham Forest 0-3 West HamWolves 3-2 West HamWest Ham 1-5 Chelsea<\/p>\n<p>The hierarchy in E20 are now said to be \u201cseriously considering\u201d a change in leadership in the Hammers\u2019 dugout right now.<\/p>\n<p>This has seen Bilic, Nuno Espirito Santo, Gary O\u2019Neil and Sean Dyche be considered to take over as head coach in East London, potentially.<\/p>\n<p>West Ham\u2019s board now have a decision to make in the coming days and weeks over the future of Potter, with the upcoming clash against Everton seen as crucial.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"

\/>Credit: ImagoWest Ham can\u2019t wait to sack Graham Potter<\/p>\n<p>Realistically, things aren\u2019t going to get suddenly better for Potter after what has been a dismal spell in charge of the claret and blue outfit.<\/p>\n<p>Having taken over over eight months ago, there is little reason to suspect that his side will turn a corner and be massively improved any time soon.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, it would make total sense to move the former Brighton head coach on to welcome in a fresh face for the rest of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>It is yet to be seen whether Sullivan and Co. will be brave enough to make that decision, but it does feel necessary at this stage of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoyed this article?
