Income
This graph shows the money West Ham have taken in since 2000.
The total income since 2000 is just under £404m.
The amount of money coming into the club is key to its ability to compete. The graph shows perfectly the effect of not being in the Premiership. The two last years in the top flight had an income drop of roughly £20m compared to the Premiership years.
The split of the income is shown below. A more detailed look at how each area of income has changed is shown here. The dependency on Sky is clear, that only 22% comes from match receipts shows little the club depends on its supporters. Bolton in comparison have only 10% of their income from gate receipts.
