Graham Potter has been told that he has two weeks to save his job and escape the West Ham United sack.
After a very disappointing start to the season, Potter is under massive pressure at West Ham, and the supporters have seemingly lost all confidence in him.
The Hammers were beaten 3-0 by London rivals Tottenham on Saturday (13 September), which puts them 18th in the Premier League with just one win from four games.
Football Insider have reported that the West Ham hierarchy are still behind Potter for the time being but they are also exploring the market for alternatives.
However, Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – believes that if results don’t turn around within the next two weeks, the former Brighton boss will be sacked.

Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Wyness insisted that Potter is in danger of losing his job when the second international break comes around, as that is the time clubs usually decide to sack their manager.
Before then, West Ham face Crystal Palace, Everton, and Arsenal, with these three games set to decide the future of the 50-year-old.

Wyness added that there is still a chance Potter can turn it around at the London Stadium and save his job.
He told Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast: “Now, if we’re to believe that normally the second international break is when a lot of clubs may make a move, I would say that Potter’s going to be one of those who could be on the danger list at the moment.
There are some bad structural flaws within West Ham in terms of the sporting director and recruitment situation that have not been addressed properly.
There are flashing warning signs right now, and I don’t think it would be fair to make Potter take the hit for this.
Otherwise, they’re going to be in that relegation fight pretty quickly.”
Meanwhile, West Ham will not be short of managerial applicants if they decide to sack Potter, sources have told Football Insider.
Kieran McKenna has been spotted in the boardroom at the London Stadium, sparking rumours that he could be on the Hammers’ shortlist.

Multiple Premier League title winner Jose Mourinho is also reportedly interested in the West Ham job, after the Portuguese manager was sacked by Fenerbahce.
His fellow countryman Nuno Espirito Santo is another name in contention, following his dismissal from Nottingham Forest.
