For the first 10 days, Graham Potter couldn’t even go home. So chaotic was life as the new West Ham manager that Potter lived out of his hotel room in Stratford, around the corner from the London Stadium, and barely wore anything other than his club tracksuit.
A frantic unveiling after Julen Lopetegui’s sacking, three matches and a handful of training sessions all crammed into the former Chelsea and Brighton boss’s first week and a half in the job.
Eventually, after the Hammers’ defeat at home to Crystal Palace on January 18, he went back to Brighton.
