West Ham are in an excellent position financially and are at little risk of being punished by the Premier League’s PSR regulations.

It seems like the Premier League have finally had enough of clubs undermining the integrity of the competition. Both Nottingham Forest and Everton have been handed point deductions, and it would not be a surprise to see more clubs sanctioned in the near future.

Understandably, fans of all clubs have grown concerned about the idea of their club being punished, and West Ham’s big spending in recent years has sparked conversations about whether they are flirting with it or not.

Thankfully, financial expert Kieran Maguire has provided some positive insight into the situation. “As far as the new rules are concerned for West Ham, I don’t think it will make a significant amount of difference,” he told Hammers News. “And the reason why I say that is that the owners weren’t particularly keen on taking the club close to the limit because they wanted to try to run it in a more sustainable manner. And clearly looking at my projections, they would not be in a fantastic position with regards to PSR.”

“But my calculations are very crude because I’m looking at historic data and I’ve had to make a few assumptions. Remember West Ham this season are in the Europa League so have got the benefit of extra money coming in from that and they’ve got the sale of Declan Rice – that would go into the calculations as well.”

It’s relieving to hear that the money the club has received is being spent wisely, especially considering that a big Summer is needed. As much as we would like our Irons to spend all the money in the world, it is much more important the club remains financially stable – something our owners have always been good at.
