West Ham revenue for this season is due to drop this season after a low finish, a reduction in Hammers games shown on UK and a lack of domestic cup or European games.
The Hammers are currently placed 15th in the Premier League table with a merit payment worth around £18.6m, a 16th place finish drop down to £15.6m and a 17th place finish earning £12.5m
Should West Ham manage to win their last game and outperform Wolves on their last two results they could earn £21.8m in a merit bonus. Each place is worth £3.1m.
With 17 games broadcast on UK TV West Ham will earn around £15.3m in facility fees bonuses this season.
All 20 clubs automatically receive around £95m through an equal share distributed based on both the domestic (£31.2m in 2023/24) and international (£55.7m in 2023/24) broadcast deals – those TV rights are lucrative for a reason – as well as £8.2m each from central commercial revenue streams
That means West Ham Premier League revenue will be between £122.8m for 17th place finish and £132.1m for a 14th place finish.
Last season West Ham received another £102.6m in revenue as result of a boost of three years in Europe (£44.6m Match Day/Ticketing £41.9m Commercial/Sponsorship and £16.1m in Retail)
That revenue to set to fall before £85m this season as the lack of Europe or a cup run bites hard.
Overall revenue for the 2024/2025 season is expected to range between £208m and £217m which would be West Ham’s lowest revenue in four years since 2020/2021 as a result of the pandemic. (£268m 2024, £237m 2023, £253m 2022)
In between your trips to the Ivy Sean have you thought about asking your sources HOW they got into this financial situation? You keep telling us how large the losses this year are going to be and then – before a ball is even kicked – that next year will be just as bad. Yes, there’s going to be less money from the finishing position and yes there will be less TV money but the amounts of losses far exceed those amounts. So what was the scenarios that the club saw that meant that there were not going to be massive losses. Champions league in both years? Or was the idea that the losses were going to be covered by player trading, that the oyster shells would open up and the pearls would be there, to be sold on at great profit? So, in between your frequent luxury trips abroad maybe you could ask how a Premier League financial paints itself into a corner like this. As other, experts, have pointed out West Ham’s finances were in pretty good shape eighteen months ago. What happened. And don’t give the story ‘well we won a European Trophy’ because the European trophy we won paid zip.
I can understand the tv not wanting to televise west ham games with the dross Moyes dished up and he and Sullivan who kept buying old has been players now its all come home to roost when they was winning game they could of attracted decent players but who wants to go there now ? I think Sullivan is the main trouble at West Ham
Well Sullivan messes up again no surprise there you wood think he would have got the message by now sell up and get out of our great club
As bad as this season was , financially and team performance , next season is already looking like a catastrophe in the making with useless upper management , dismal coach and a hugely inferior squad . If a team scores only one goal a match and picks up one point per match it’s in relegation trouble , end of story .
Only one person responsible for this and unfortunately he’s now in charge of transfers! He should be ashamed of the total shambles he’s overseen with the appointments he’s made and the chaos that he created, yet still he’d refuse to buy a manager out of the contract wouldn’t he. He deserves to see his team relegated for the utter mess he has overseen, the fans deserve so much better than him and his constant awful decision making. Yet I bet he can’t see the correlation between his ownership and the mess we are in, fans don’t want to watch the sterile football in his “world class stadium with world class players” yet nothing will change anytime soon
Stop showing off with your big words Dean….correlation indeed! 😉
Once again our great chairman overseas the demise of any potential growth and excitement at the club.
He does it every few years, continually appointing clueless poor managers, even with moyes he got rid before he realised his next pick was awful, he’s done it twice now since moyes.
Continually buys players through his mate agent who are dross and overpriced.
Then moans when we hate the ground, which they lied about, and the dross football we have to watch.
He kills it in over and over….
That’s the financial cost of the bad decisions, we’ve been paying the other costs as fans all season.
This is additional to much reduced revenue they will rightly suffer after such a shambles of a season. I can’t see the renewal rates for season ticket holders being high at all. And whilst your mugs in the boardroom may think that is fine we will just replace them on a weekly basis with tourists. With this clueless idiot in charge of us we will be relegated for sure and tourists won’t want to come and watch West Ham v Preston North End in an empty stadium
Ultimately Sean the actions of your mate is a considerable cause of where we find ourselves, bad appointments, bad purchases for years, bad vision, bad hearing that causes him to listen to the Countess, all which have led us to where we are with a poor old squad unable to compete, non-entertaining (why would the tv want to show us) and finishing so close to the bottom 3 which results in severly reduced income.
Maybe share that with the top source the next time you have a little chat and he tells you what he wants reporting
