Graham Potter, the West Ham United boss, is undergoing strong pressure after a scorching start for the Premier League season, and Kieran McKenna by Ipswich Town has become a reported candidate to replace the tactician in fire.
Potter has recorded the second first percentage of victories of any West Ham boss in the history of the Premier League since he took care of, with only the sad mandate of Avram Grant has overshadowed his bad record so far.

Grant was in the pirogue of the relegation of West Ham at the end of 2010/2011, and was dismissed a few hours after the confirmation of their drop in the championship. The Hammers would have reduced their decision not to hire a replacement for the Israelis before reaching this point, and if they do not pay attention, the story could repeat itself with Potter.
Since the former Boss of Chelsea and Brighton took care of, West Ham has the worst Premier League record of any team apart from the three relegated from last season, and only West Ham from Grant conceded more goals at this stage of the season than any other team of irons in the history of competition.
Potter looked at his men was dismantled 3-0 by the rivals of London Tottenham in what was a second dominant half by the Lilywhites on Saturday, with goals from Pope Sarr, Lucas Bergvall and Micky Van de Vue Rondeing one night to forget.
Tomas Soucek was also sent for a desperate slit over 54 minutes, so West Ham should be without the favorite of Czech fans for their crucial matches against Crystal Palace, Everton and Arsenal thanks to the suspension.
These are matches that could also determine Potter’s immediate future, because the reports suggest that David Sullivan and the CO weighed potential replacements for the 50 -year -old.
Sullivan is personally a fan of Nuno Espirito Santo, according to journalist Alan Nixon, with the tactician also available for rental after being dismissed by Nottingham Forest and replaced by Ange Postcoglou.
The boss of Coventry City Frank Lampard and José Mourinho were also linked to the work of West Ham, just like McKenna.
Wayne Veysey told Football Insider this week that McKenna was a guest of the West Ham meeting room during their 3-0 defeat against Spurs last weekend, which will feed speculation that the 39-year-old is a favorite for the role.
West Ham Insider Share a message of 11 words on McKenna replacing Potter
However, according to West Ham Insider Claret & Hugh, citing their “source of higher transfer”, we think that a decision for McKenna is unlikely.
Sharing a message of 11 words, the informant simply laughs at the boss of Ipswich who guided the boys from tractors to consecutive consecutive promotions before being relegated last season.
“It’s hilarious, where does this story come from? Not a chance.”
They were quick to reject McKenna as an option, but would it be an error from the West Ham Board?
Why West Ham should consider Kieran McKenna
McKenna is young, ambitious and would probably seize the possibility of making a return to the Premier League.
It seems to develop players, to make the most of the limited resources and maintain high standards, as shown in its ascent through the lower leagues with IPSWich in recent years.
This type of leadership could help reset morale to West Ham, unite the locker room and stabilize performance. While McKenna has undergone a last relegation campaign, the gap between the Premier League and the Championship is clear by the fact that the three promoted teams have returned directly during each of the last two seasons.
If the advice decides that the change is necessary, McKenna seems ready for a step-up, especially since it was once a management target reported for Tottenham and Chelsea.
