West Ham’s contract talks with David Moyes have been delayed amid concern about the ongoing financial impact of the pandemic.
Co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold are eager to tie the manager down and began negotiations at the start of the year, but may wait until they have more clarity on the number of fans they will be able to host at the London Stadium next season before finalising a new long-term contract.
West Ham recorded losses of £65million for the year ending May 2020 due to diminished broadcast income and will take an even bigger hit when their accounts for this season are finalised, as they have brought in barely any ticket revenue for 15 months.
