Interest Payments

West Ham have to pay out interest on loans taken out for various purposes.

The graph shows that the club has had large interest payments every year, and that they are getting larger. They are getting larger because the business is losing money every year and is having to borrow more to survive. A vicious circle.

The figures are not good but they are not that different from many other sides. What they show is that over the last 8 years roughly 4% of the money that comes in goes straight out again in interest.
