London: So, Roy Keane has some strong words for Graham Potter now that he’s taken over at West Ham. He’s basically saying it’s a tough gig, especially with how the club treats its managers.
Potter stepped in after Julen Lopetegui got the boot just six months into his job. The team was struggling, sitting in 14th place, which isn’t great. Potter’s back in management after a rough time at Chelsea, and he’s excited to turn things around.
But Keane isn’t sugarcoating it. He pointed out that West Ham has a history of treating their managers poorly. He mentioned how they didn’t give Lopetegui enough time and how they messed around with David Moyes’ contract. That’s gotta be a red flag for Potter.
Keane described the players as an “odd bunch” and said they’re tough to manage. He sees talent in some of the attackers but thinks the defense is a mess. It’s a big question mark whether Potter is the right fit for this situation.
In his first match, West Ham lost to Aston Villa, which didn’t help the mood. Keane pointed out that while the attack has potential, the defense is where they really need to step up. He thinks they’ll need to make some moves in January to fix things.
Overall, it sounds like Potter has his work cut out for him. Keane’s right; they need to be tougher to beat if they want to climb the table.
