West Ham have initiated a comprehensive review of footballing operations as they prepare for the financial realities of Championship football.
The Hammers' fourteen year stay in the top flight officially concluded on the final day of the season despite a 3-0 victory over Leeds United, with results elsewhere rendering their final performance entirely meaningless.
The sporting blow has been severely compounded by recent financial declarations detailing a 104 million pound loss.
The loss of lucrative Premier League broadcasting revenue means the hierarchy must execute an immediate squad clearance to ensure compliance with domestic financial sustainability laws.
High profile stars such as winger Jarrod Bowen and full back Aaron Wan Bissaka are expected to be put up for sale early in the summer window to raise necessary capital.
The board is also working swiftly to implement a new managerial structure capable of leading a physical and disciplined promotion challenge next term.
