Wayne Rooney has weighed in on the growing turmoil at West Ham United, describing the club’s current predicament as “crazy” while questioning Graham Potter’s apparent “lack of belief” in his squad.
The Hammers are enduring a turbulent spell both on and off the pitch, with increasing pressure on Potter after a run of poor results. While the West Ham board continue to delay any decision on the manager’s future, Rooney believes the uncertainty is damaging the players’ confidence and hindering performances.
Speaking on the situation, Rooney said: “It’s crazy what’s happening at West Ham. You look at the squad, there’s quality there, but when a manager doesn’t show belief in his players, it filters through the whole team.”
West Ham fans have voiced their frustration in recent weeks, with sections of the support calling for immediate change. However, the club’s hierarchy remain reluctant to act, insisting Potter deserves more time to turn things around.
Rooney’s comments add further fuel to the debate as West Ham head into a crucial run of fixtures that could define their season.
