“The primary mitigating action within the control of the Group is cash receipts from further player trading,” the report adds.<\/p>\n

“Should this not be preferred or sufficient, additional funding from the shareholders would be required.<\/p>\n

“In the event the severe but plausible scenario occurs, the Group is also forecasting a liquidity shortfall in summer 2026 to a greater severity.<\/p>\n

“Accordingly, more significant mitigating actions would be required such as further player disposals to generate transfer fee income and wage savings, or additional funding from the shareholders, or a combination thereof.”<\/p>\n

West Ham<\/a> have won just six league games this season but are unbeaten in their past three. They face Liverpool<\/a> at Anfield on Saturday (15:00 GMT kick-off).<\/p>\n

The Hammers signed five players in January<\/a> in an attempt to avoid relegation, including forwards Pablo, Valentin Castellanos, Adama Traore and defender Axel Disasi.<\/p>\n
