“West Ham in CHAOS! Sullivan FORCED to Hire SHOCK Manager After Explosive Insider Push – You WON’T Believe Who!”

West Ham United have held talks with potential replacements for Graham Potter over the past week, as fears of relegation grow stronger this season.

Club owner David Sullivan is yet to make a final decision on whether to dismiss Potter, but the delay comes with risks, as other clubs may move quickly to secure the very candidates West Ham are considering.

The lack of urgency has left many fans frustrated, particularly as the Hammers still have a week before their next Premier League fixture against Everton.

Supporters staged protests against Sullivan before the recent defeat to Crystal Palace, urging him to act decisively.

Within the club hierarchy, there is hope that appointing a new manager could ease tensions with fans, with a managerial change expected to take place shortly after the Everton clash.

Nuno Espírito Santo has been identified as a primary target, yet The Guardian reports that the Portuguese coach will reject the role if the club does not meet his wage demands. Furthermore, he is unwilling to accept a short-term arrangement.

Potter’s tenure has quickly soured, with only one win from six games this campaign. The Hammers have shipped three or more goals in four matches and currently hold the worst defensive record in the league, conceding 13 in total.

These alarming statistics have added urgency to calls for change within the boardroom.

Some within West Ham are pushing for Sullivan to turn to Slaven Bilic as a caretaker until the end of the season.

The Croatian, a former favourite at the London Stadium, has been considered because of his familiarity with the club and Premier League experience.

However, such an appointment would hardly unite the fanbase. Since leaving West Ham in 2017, Bilic has endured five unsuccessful stints in six years at various clubs, the latest being with Al-Fateh, where he managed just a 36 per cent win rate.

His exit from East London also left a sour legacy among sections of the supporters, which would be difficult to repair.

While some fans might forgive the past if he delivers results, his recent track record suggests he would struggle to lift the Hammers out of trouble.

For Sullivan, appointing Bilic would be a major gamble and could increase the pressure on his ownership if performances fail to improve.
