Graham Potter was named West Ham boss in January

"West Ham is not a club that panics about its managers. We tend to stick with them, tend to support people, and see it through."

Those were the words of Hammers vice-chair Karren Brady following the 3-0 loss to newly promoted Sunderland in their Premier League opener.

The club's hierarchy and fans wanted a reaction against Chelsea on Friday. What they got instead was a 5-1 thrashing at home that was met with boos at the final whistle.

That was from some of those still inside the London Stadium, with many supporters opting instead to leave long before the game was over.
