"A former West Ham player talked to Claret & Hugh about the chances of McKenna replacing Potter at the London Stadium. He said: McKenna won't go near the West Ham job as things are. He has a growing reputation and the club is in disarray behind the scenes. He'd be mad to go there. Plenty of people will be interested in the job, but any young coach would find it tough with the owners and the interference behind the scenes."
"If someone of McKenna's caliber is reportedly willing to pass on the chance, it suggests that the club's off-field challenges are seriously affecting how attractive the role appears to top managerial talent. If West Ham are to move forward with ambition, aiming for stability, success, or even just consistency, they may have to offer more than just a large name: they may need to show credible signs of internal coherence and trust."
Kieran McKenna has been linked with the West Ham managerial vacancy while West Ham sit 18th after a poor start, with just three points from four Premier League matches. Graham Potter's future at the London Stadium is under scrutiny following a heavy 3-0 defeat to Tottenham. Reports indicate McKenna attended that match as a guest of the club board. A former West Ham player warned McKenna would avoid the role because of the club's internal disarray and owner interference. The apparent reluctance of high-calibre candidates signals that West Ham must show internal coherence and trust to attract top managers.
