The pressure is mounting on Julen Lopetegui - so we wanted to know who you think the club should be looking at appointing as the next West Ham United boss if the Spaniard leaves.

Here are some of your suggestions:

Ben: Graham Potter is the best option, especially given the West Ham board's usual criteria of Premier league experience and being unemployed. He will also have something to prove, much like David Moyes did. As for Lopetegui, he can have no complaints about being sacked.

David: Potter is not the right man for the job needed at West Ham. We need a total rebuild from the academy through to the first team. The bigger picture is that a cultural change is needed in the running of the club. Sullivan, Brady and Steidten all need to be replaced.

Glen: The obvious choice is Wayne Rooney.

Ant: It should be Moyes, obviously, but he won't come back after the way he has been treated twice now. Plus a fair-sized chunk of the fanbase still don't see that he was our best manager since John Lyall. He is proven in the Premier League and in European competition.

Tim: I believe Lopetegui should be given the season. There have been glimpses of what he is trying to achieve and binning managers so quickly is unsettling for any club. We are not bad enough to go down so I think we should wait to see how things pan out.

Lee: We should go for Edin Terzic. Potter's win percentage is the same as Lopetegui's whereas Terzic's is over 60%. Originally I wanted Ruben Amorim, but that obviously hasn't really worked out for Manchester United, so I guess we could be in a worse place. But I feel Terzic would work well for us, especially with director Tim Steidten.

Martin: In a nutshell, it has got to be Ange Postecoglou.

Geoff: The club is run like a complete circus and no manager worth his salt would touch the job with the proverbial barge pole. The next appointment will be someone who has fallen off the managerial merry-go-round and is currently, therefore, available.
