West Ham Back Potter for Now as Board Admits Failings, Weighs Replacements

The club’s public admission of poor results has sharpened scrutiny on Potter from supporters to the board.

Overview

  • West Ham are not expected to sack Graham Potter before or immediately after the Crystal Palace match, with The Guardian reporting contingency plans are in place.
  • An official club statement acknowledged that performances over the past two seasons have fallen short and said the board is reviewing football operations and listening to fan feedback.
  • The Fan Advisory Board has issued a vote of no confidence in the club board, and supporter groups plan protests before the Palace game with further action expected ahead of Brentford.
  • The team sits 18th after three defeats in four league matches, having conceded a league‑high 11 goals, including six from corners, according to BBC Sport.
  • Reports say Slaven Bilic is a leading candidate to replace Potter, Gary O’Neil is under consideration, and talkSPORT says officials have sounded out Nuno Espirito Santo.
