As the Premier League season begins to close, a handful of questions start to arise. West Ham’s primary focus is, of course, the league seeing as where the club will be next season remains unknown, but another factor is dependent on which league the Hammers are in, which will decide the sponsorships that come along.
As part of the attempted wage structure reformation or Graham Potter’s player execution, whichever you prefer, the club attempted to solve the financial situation one way or another, a task which meant the Hammers had to make a profit during the January transfer window.
As part of the transformation, the Hammers loaned out Nicholas Füllkrug to AC Milan in the January transfer window, for a total of 100% wage coverage, as well as a buy option of £13,500,000… around half of what the Hammers paid a season ago!
On Saturday evening, the Hammers accumulated bright fortune as a miraculous point against Manchester City was achieved, a fantastic point to round off Saturday football, but all Hammers fans had a keen eye on Sunday as all of Spurs, Leeds, and Nottingham Forest all played, and conveniently they all achieved the same result…
West Ham United secured an emphatic draw against Manchester City to secure a promise land point! A game in which everyone wrote off, a game that many believed would negate the confidence, but the critics were proved wrong.

West Ham United have been tipped for relegation by numerous fanbases, as well as statistical sites, such as Opta - Whilst Nuno’s side are still in the relegation zone, we’re level on points with Nottingham Forest and three points away from Leeds, but many have suggested that if relegation occurred, players will be able to leave on the cheap…
West Ham United accumulated two injuries across their emphatic win on penalties, Nuno Espírito Santo’s side managed to triumph over flying high Brentford to secure themselves a place in the Quarterfinals
Whilst in a tough relegation scrap, a cup run wasn’t ever supposed to be on the cards, but through twisted fate and fortune, the Hammers have made it to the final eight teams remaining in the competition.
How much heart-strain would you like, sir? Happy Hammers might’ve slept well, but that would’ve come at the expense of a few years knocked off the heart.
Against all odds and despite West Ham having such a woeful season, Nuno has managed to kickstart this club’s engine, and in 2026, we’re pushing to see where the limits are.
Nuno’s side initially perfectly started the game, a lovely looped in ball by Mateus Fernandes, headed down by the returned Pablo and placed in by Jarrod Bowen gave us an early lead - though it would last minutes.

West Ham United are set to take on Brentford on Monday night in the FA Cup fifth round, but given the circumstances, could Nuno decide his line-up based on the next round?
West Ham will be the last game to commence in the fifth round of the FA Cup, meaning that all other teams would’ve been decided by the end of Sunday, with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City already confirmed to be through at this moment in time.
Due to the fixture taking place on Monday night, the draw for the Quarter Finals will take place BEFORE West Ham take on Brentford.
