When West Ham United hosts Everton FC on Saturday it will be a match up of two clubs that have really taken a wrong turn in 2022-23. Additionally, it will be a clash of managers who could be nearing the sack soon. David Moyes has a warm seat, but it is not as scorching as Frank Lampard, who could be in real danger after the next loss or two.
Wayne Rooney, currently managing D.C. United in Major League Soccer, is already being speculated on as his possible replacement. But who knows, Graham Potter, instead of the either of these two men, might actually be the next boss sacked, and if so, Chelsea would change the manager market entirely.
