West Ham have suffered a disastrous start to the 2025-26 season, losing 3-0 at Sunderland and 5-1 to Chelsea at the London Stadium. Manager Graham Potter holds a meagre 0.95 points-per-game record, the poorest in West Ham history. The club's transfer window has been below par and has included interest in Chelsea outcast Raheem Sterling. The hierarchy are prepared to act if results worsen. West Ham face Wolves in the Carabao Cup second round and Nottingham Forest in the Premier League next weekend. Two further defeats could prompt discussions about Potter's future during the international break, potentially making him the second manager sacked within 12 months after Julen Lopetegui.
The 2025-26 Premier League season is only two games old, and already, the first managerial sacking could happen at West Ham, who have had a disastrous start to the new campaign. The Hammers lost 3-0 at Sunderland in their opening match before a thumping 5-1 defeat to Chelsea at the London Stadium on Friday. Coupled with a below-par transfer window so far, which has now seen them turn their attention to Chelsea outcast Raheem Sterling, the pressure is firmly on Graham Potter.
Potter has only managed a meagre 0.95 points-per-game as West Ham manager, which is the poorest record of any manager in West Ham's history. The club's hierarchy will be aware of this, and should this become even worse, they are prepared to make their move. According to the Express, Potter could be sacked if West Ham lose their next two matches.
The Hammers face Wolves in the Carabao Cup second round on Tuesday, before a trip to Nottingham Forest next weekend in their latest Premier League fixture. If West Ham were to lose to Wolves and Nottingham Forest, the club's hierarchy are expected to discuss Potter's future during the international break. And if it gets to that, there is a good chance that he is relieves of his duties as manager.
