West Ham relegated despite final-day win over Leeds

West Ham United’s 14-year stay in the Premier League is over. The club was relegated to the Championship on the final day of the season, despite a victory over Leeds United at the London Stadium. The win proved meaningless as results elsewhere condemned the Hammers to the drop. On the Football Weekly podcast, Jacob Steinberg joined the panel to discuss the failures behind the club’s decline, the future of the London Stadium and what comes next in the Championship. Tottenham survived narrowly after beating Everton on the same day, while West Ham’s win over Leeds was not enough to keep them up. The relegation ends a top-flight run that began in 2012 and included a memorable Europa Conference League triumph in 2023. Now the club faces an uncertain future in the second tier.
