Last week, West Ham United Football Limited filed four separate documents with Companies House showing they had settled four separate loans with Barclays Bank.
Three of these financial agreements relate to August 2023, and the remaining loan is dated July 2024.
In August 2023, West Ham borrowed money against future broadcast revenue from the Premier League, called a basic award. They then went on to borrow more money in further loan agreements secured against property and land, namely Rush Green in one agreement and Chadwell Heath in the other.
In July 2024, they borrowed again from the High Street bank against future broadcast revenue from the Premier League.
The documents filed on 6 October 2025 with Companies House, titled ‘Satisfaction of a Charge’, show that a registered company has fully paid off a debt previously registered as a charge.
Financial accounts show that West Ham disclosed they borrowed £30m from Barclays Bank in August 2024 and renewed a £40m overdraft facility in July 2024
The money borrowed against these four transactions in 2023 and 2024 is now settled.
West Ham went on to borrow more money over the last summer from Barclays and Media Rights Funding Limited.
Although the amounts actually borrowed have not been declared yet, in theory, they could borrow up to £165m, being the valuation of the assets they were secured against.
In reality, the sums borrowed are most likely a lot less and were used in part to pay off the loans from 2023 and 2024.
Legal money laundering.
So if they have indeed settled they can buy some players in January!! Of course not, not until they’ve sold Paqetar. (excuse the spelling) COYI!!
Smoke and mirrors
Interesting do we know if Sullivan , kritensky paid them off . More importantly does this mean we have cleared the 20 million debt we allegedly had .
All we’ve done is taken out new loans to pay off outstanding debt, robbing Peter to pay Paul
I’m surprised we’re not sponsored by Klarna
Surely this means we’ve just paid off the loans from Barclays Bank by getting a bigger loan from an offshore company?
