“SHOCKER: Potter’s DOOMED! Mirror’s Jaw-Dropping West Ham Claim Will Leave You Speechless!”

Graham Potter finds himself under intense scrutiny after a dismal start as West Ham manager, winning just three of his first 14 games.

Despite taking over from Julen Lopetegui—whose poor form had already left the team languishing in 13th place—Potter has overseen a further decline, with the Hammers now sitting precariously in 17th place.

Potter has maintained that his side has become more defensively solid and competitive under his leadership.

However, statistically, only Avram Grant has a worse Premier League win rate among recent West Ham managers.

The team’s dramatic decline predates Potter’s arrival, notably beginning after a 2-0 win over Arsenal in December 2023.

Since then, West Ham has managed just 13 wins in 52 league games, falling from top-six contention to the fringes of relegation.

While West Ham’s current position isn’t immediately perilous due to the poor performance of teams below them, recent media coverage suggests the pressure on Potter is mounting.

The Mirror has highlighted growing internal issues, including leaked information about a break clause in Potter’s contract and suggestions that several players are eyeing summer exits.

The media also referenced a heated exchange involving a reporter and Potter over striker Niclas Fullkrug’s comments, further fuelling the narrative of unrest.

Many fans have remained patient, willing to withhold judgment until next season when Potter is expected to have more control over the squad.

This grace period is largely afforded because West Ham is not yet in serious relegation danger.

However, journalist Jacob Steinberg has warned that unless changes are made, the club could face a relegation battle next season.

The Mirror, however, posits a more dramatic scenario: West Ham could still be relegated this season.

They speculate that if West Ham were to lose their next four matches against Brighton, Tottenham, Manchester United, and Nottingham Forest—and if Ipswich Town were to win their upcoming games—the season could culminate in a dramatic final-day clash at Portman Road with relegation on the line.

Despite the sensational tone, this outcome remains highly unlikely, especially due to the significant goal difference that would need to be overturned.

Nevertheless, the media’s narrative is clear—Potter is under pressure, and the knives are already out.

Even though relegation this season is improbable, the expectation is that Potter must deliver a much-improved campaign next season.

Otherwise, the scrutiny he’s currently facing could intensify, particularly if he fails to make an early impact with a squad of his own design.
