A clearly frustrated Graham Potter took exception to the level of questioning by journalists when he faced the media following West Ham's humiliating defeat against Chelsea on Friday night.
The Head Coach, whose team were thrashed 5-1 by Chelsea at the London Olympic Stadium in their opening home game of the season on Friday night appeared to briefly lose his temper when asked about being under pressure as a result of West Ham's dreadful start to the campaign.
"You can say whatever you want Jacob, whenever you want it," he said, when responding to The Guardian's Jacob Steinberg - before responding to a further enquiry by another reporter by stating curtly: "I though that was your last question. There's a lot of other people here who might want to ask a question."
Meanwhile Potter also denied that there were any issues regarding player recruitment, despite the squad being woefully short of quality in several areas with just one week of the summer transfer window remaining.
"I've been working well with the Chairman and the board, they've been really supportive," he said. "We need to try to find some solutions together - which I'm sure we will."
