Graham Potter’s patter leaves Man City fans cringing and West Ham grateful

Sweden national team manager Graham Potter sparked awkward reactions during a press conference by joking that his squad's sickness bug withdrawals resembled the Premier League charges against Manchester City. Hammers News writer Damien Charles Lucas reports that the joke fell flat in the room, leaving Sweden striker Viktor Gyokeres and the press corps in an uncomfortable silence.

Lucas argues that West Ham supporters are relieved Potter no longer manages the club, referencing his poor managerial record of six wins in 25 games and a recent social media spat where Potter referred to a "dysfunctional place."
