West Ham fans are calling for Graham Potter to be sacked “ASAP” after their Premier League draw against Tottenham at the London Stadium.

Potter’s side fought to secure a 1-1 draw against their rivals after Wison Odobert’s 15th-minute strike was cancelled out by Jarrod Bowen before half-time.

The second half saw a dull affair in which the Hammers nullified Spurs’ attacking options but struggled to make any clear-cut opportunities going forward.

However, given the visitors’ recent form and focus on the Europa League, West Ham fans have been left raging that they didn’t take all three points.

Frustrations about the style of football – which many have deemed boring after another dull game – and recent results have only added to the growing pressure on the boss.

This comes after Football Insider revealed on 13 April that West Ham are unlikely to sack Potter and will instead look to back him in the transfer market.

Graham Potter sack decision emerges after recent outburst

Former Hammers scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Potter is not happy at West Ham following his press conference outburst after the Brighton defeat.

His side are now winless in eight Premier League games, and the boss has won just three of his 14 games since taking over from Julen Lopetegui in January.

That run of form has seen them slip to 17th in the Premier League, with many suggesting they have been lucky given the bottom three teams’ abysmal displays this season.

As a result, Football Insider revealed on 14 April that Potter wants to be backed by West Ham in the transfer market in a bid to transform his squad.

Following a draw against Tottenham, which in any other season would have been an acceptable result, large sections of the fanbase are beginning to turn.

Potter has been widely questioned as a result of their recent form, and desperate calls for an immediate positive turn have yet to wield any outcome.

Now, taking to social media in the wake of the Spurs game, fans have called for the manager’s head as they have labelled him “” and “”.

Potter out. Must win today, couldn’t get it done against spurs second fiddle team. Useless manager.

Graham Potter wants to be backed heavily in the transfer market this summer after his disappointing start to life at West Ham, sources have told Football Insider.

The 49-year-old has taken the Irons backwards since succeeding Julen Lopetegui in January – with the club now sitting 17th in the Premier League table.

Potter has won just three of his 13 games in charge at the London Stadium, but sources say he is fully expected to lead West Ham into the 2025-26 campaign.

The ex-Chelsea boss, who signed a contract with the Irons running until June 2027, will get time to turn results around in the new campaign before his future is questioned.

Potter demands transfer backing at West Ham

He has masterminded some decent results since arriving at West Ham – including away wins at Arsenal and Fulham, as well as a draw away at Aston Villa.

Potter arrived at the London Stadium on 9 January but was only backed with the loan signing of Evan Ferguson – who has played just 137 minutes of action for the Irons.
