West Ham have suffered a massive financial setback, which might have a major impact on the forthcoming transfer windows.
West Ham has dramatically boosted its investment in recent years. They spent more over £100 million during the last window alone.
Despite this, there is still plenty of potential for improvement in their roster, particularly among the attackers, leaving fans hopeful for additional investment in the squad during the upcoming January transfer window.
Unfortunately, the Hammers have been confronted with an unanticipated spike in expenses. The UK government’s budget has been controversial, but it has a clear negative impact on football clubs.
According to Claret and Hugh, West Ham’s pay expense is close to £150 million annually. This wage bill will increase by £1.8 million when the employer’s national insurance payment rises from 13.8% to 15%.
This most certainly means that the wage budget cannot be increased any further, forcing them to offload before signing any new employees. Obviously, PSR is a major worry for clubs right now, and our Irons will do everything possible to prevent a regulatory violation.
