West Ham Step Up Manager Search as Potter Teeters After Palace Defeat

Board outreach to potential successors reflects mounting pressure from poor results, protests, plus a bottom-three start.

Overview

  • A 2-1 home loss to Crystal Palace left West Ham 18th with three points from five games and 13 goals conceded.
  • Multiple outlets report the hierarchy have spoken to Nuno Espirito Santo, with Slaven Bilic, Gary O’Neil and Kieran McKenna also sounded out as options.
  • Potter said he believes he retains board backing and insists he can turn results around, though reports portray his job as on the brink pending upcoming matches.
  • Supporters marched before the Palace game and groups are planning a boycott of the Brentford home fixture on 20 October to pressure ownership.
  • Captain Jarrod Bowen said players must take responsibility, as scrutiny intensifies over Potter’s record of six wins in 25 matches and defensive frailties.
