West Ham United's departure from the Premier League was confirmed on Sunday by Tottenham Hotspur's final day victory, with the Hammers facing a massive financial shortfall which makes an immediate return look difficult, Reuters reported.
West Ham beat Leeds United 3-0 but, having conceded the initiative with three defeats in a row, needed a defeat for Spurs, who squeaked past Everton 1-0 to stay up with a second consecutive 17th-placed finish.
