Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel was fired on September 7, 2022 after a few games into the season. Then the German was replaced by Graham Potter, who himself was sacked at Chelsea before seven months had passed. This season, Mr. Potter realizes that he is the one who deserves to be fired as the first manager of the Premier League season.
Potter was brought to West Ham in January to save the club, barely better than Manchester United in 15th place was no more than just. Then the 2025/26 season started and everything went straight south.

3-0 loss to newcomer Sunderland, 1-5 loss to Chelsea and on Tuesday 3-2 loss to Wolverhampton. At the London Stadium against Chelsea, it became all too clear what the supporters thought about the start of the season.
The London Stadium was never full on Friday night, but it started to empty noticeably after 35 minutes, around the time of Chelsea’s third goal. The Chelsea supporters then sang “There is only one Graham Potter”.
Eight backwards is the most West Ham have ever conceded in their first two games in the Premier League. Then Wolverhampton shoved in three more this week in the League Cup loss to Wolverhampton.

The three defeats have put manager Graham Potter under pressure, and after Tuesday’s exit in the Carabao Cup, the Englishman made no secret of the seriousness of the situation.
“We are all affected, so we need the fans’ help. We need everyone’s support. We have to push forward and on to the next game. The team is suffering at the moment, we all do, we are having a hard time. I can assure you that no one is happy,” Graham Potter said, according to BBC Sport.
This weekend, Nottingham Forest awaits at the City Ground, we can only understand that the West Ham management will press the trigger button for Potter’s catapult chair in the event of another loss.
The match will be played on August 31. Potter understands he could leave seven days before Tuchel did at Chelsea. This is the Premier League’s natural law.
