West Ham have called a press conference for 9am on Thursday morning at the London Stadium.

do you think the West Ham fans will be delighted that they’ve got him Michael um look David Moyes did an excellent job at West Ham United he won them a trophy but there was always that you know in terms of football and but latei no one seemed to be too excited by Julian L’s appointment despite what he’d achieved in Spain he didn’t it was a difficult period for him at wolves I think he wanted a bit more money and it didn’t really totally work out for him but West Ham didn’t really it did didn’t really fit but Gran Potter for him he has it gets to a stage he’s linked with so many jobs he was linked with the was he offered the ax job he had to get into a he had to get back into football it’s not as if West Ham a bottom of the league you know they they’re what 13th 14th so and he’s got a a very decent Squad there as well okay jar jarro bones injured at the moment but I think it’s a good move for Graham pot it’s a big Club West Ham 60,000 Stadium 60,000 every week I it’s a good it’s a good move for him dsh we said they won the window didn’t we in the summer spent a lot of money do you see that Potter’s going to have to play with those players or will he get a few in this window that’s a good question I mean the start of this window has been quite quiet for West Ham United but that was to be expected because there’s been such conjecture over the future of Ulan OPI going back over a month now when before that Wolves game it was almost make or break for him he managed to win that game and then the following three games that were on be there was a couple of draws and another win against Southampton and then came those two defeats against Liverpool and Manchester City and those heavy defeats and then it was decided are they going to change the managerial position so you would have expected the transfer side of West Ham United in this window to be pretty quiet until the managerial situation got sorted out now we know that Julian LGI has been sacked earlier on today and it’s not actually official from West Ham United just now it’s just our senior reporter Rob dorsy had says that Potter has actually signed that contract so we’re just waiting for official confirmation now from West Ham United that indeed he is the new manager which we expect him to be and signing a two and a half year contract but I’m sure in the discussions that Gran Potter would have had with Tim steon and and the board at West Ham United the transfer window would have come up the amount of money maybe would have come up but also he would have been made aware the amount of money that was spent at as you mentioned in the last Summer’s transfer window so we’ll have to work with some of those players as well now I’m sure West Ham United will want to be busy in the final two or three weeks of this transfer window I think he’ll want to get his feet under the table first of all see what he’s got and then find out who he wants to keep and who they think they will need but I think there’ll be quite a lot of eyes on Tim steon this time actually because as much as you’re saying they won the transfer window in in the summer by deduction it’s not worked out because they’ve had to sack the manager now the manager was chosen by committee this one seems to be Tim sitton’s choice because there was a little bit of disagreement we’re told at board level whether gr poter was or wasn’t the right man to take West Ham United forward so he’s put it out there gr poter is his guy he will have given him probably assurances about what kind of players and kind of budget they’ll have so it’ll be interesting to see what kind of transfer business they’ll do and you you’re mentioning tomorrow I mean there’s a press conference that’s been called for 9:00 in the morning West Ham United like every other club are Duty bound to hold a news conference before a game they play on Friday night in in the FA Cup third round against Aston Villa but provided all of the the eyes are dotted and the teas are crossed which we think they have been now according to Rob Dorset then it will be gram Potter who’ll be presented in front of the media and I think it’s at the London Stadium this news conference as opposed to the training ground so that might give you a clue that something is a foot with regard to Gran Potter being officially announced as the West Ham boss [Music]

Another London club Graham do not mess up 🙌🏾
An engerlish manager in the engerlish premiership….Well i never!
I rate Potter as a manager, but West Ham seems like a clube where it might be difficult to do a good job.
Perfect signing
Let him cook
West Ham fans deserve relegation. After moyes won then silverware they thought they were better than him
Good, now he can't become the next Everton manager.
i think its a good fit
Who’s the prem player who’s been arrested for rap3?
My commiserations to him.
West Ham fans will never be happy. They wont accept that it is a average team in premier league where 11 to 15 is a good result. The manager to meet their requirements hasnt been born yet. Good luck Potter.
They need Harry Potter.
Im a Chelsea fan
Im absolutely terrified now 😅😅
This guy cooked us when he was at Brighton even man u fanz know how good his Brighton was 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yall saying Potter aint th right fit for West Ham because he flopped at chelsea well chelsea was then a graveyard for managers after Abramowich sold the club.Lampard,Potter, Poch and even Tuchel who did a great job was sacked by Boehly.
Let us take Nuno Espirito Santo as an example. He was good at Wolves and but had a hard time at Spurs. So before Forest went for him most of their supporters were against Nuno replacing Steve Cooper.
But look at Forest now playing some great football. Potter aint a bad coach. He took swedish side Österunds from the fourth to first swedish division. He did great at Swansea and was fantastic at Brighton.
I tell you folks The game of football is lie gambling. You eigther win big or loose everything
New manager bounce coming !
Is west ham going to be like brighton under potter
Jacknoris😂
They don't answer the questions.
Shut up about Moyes
Good managers build great teams and win games that’s it it’s not quantum mechanics
Oh dear, so sorry to hear this news West ham fans😢
Difficult to surpass Moyes' achievement (3 years in a row playing continental football, a Conference trophy and a semifinal in the Europa) isn't it?
Not sure about Potter,the tinkerman,will West ham improve ,doubt it
No wonder Potter is such an overrated manager only hyped up by the English media cos of his nationality. He waited all this time just to go to West Ham when he could have gone to Ajax for example lol.
Thank God Moyes didn't come back, he's now Neverton problem
Potter 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Well another huge gamble yet again by West Ham sometimes the coaches needs time yes Julien was really disappointing with huge summer spending but spending money doesn't necessarily makes a team to win games
the first guy doesn't seem well prepared. difficult to listen to.
This is a wind up right….?
Good luck mate, we’re all behind you
COYI
The fans are all along right from day one that Julen Lopetegui is no good for WHU.
Graham Potter = Myth
Potter had a win percentage of 31.11% at Brighton which is awful.
