**West Ham capped off a long and difficult season with a resounding 3-1 win over relegated Ipswich.**
Despite our Hammers being one of the clubs who significantly underperformed during the 2024/25 campaign, the victory over the Tractor Boys was another reminder of the gulf between the Premier League and Championship.
Had it not been the case this season, West Ham could well have paid the price heavily for a season which has ben engulfed by issues which many hope are set to be fixed as we look ahead to a new era under Graham Potter.
The final day result saw West Ham claim 14th spot in the league, with Potters side managing to finish above Spurs, Wolves and Manchester United, as well as the three relegated sides. However, now the season is done, the focus now shifts towards the monumental rebuild needed in east London this summer.
Speaking after the match, club insider ExWHUEmployee expressed his delight in West Ham wrapping up the season with a comfortable victory, however was quick to stress that now the hard work starts on rebuilding a team that fits the vision of Potter.
“It was a good performance against a very poor side,” said the insider. “We deserved the win and it’s good to end the season on that result as well as getting to say goodbye to Coufal, Fabianski and Cresswell – and probably some others too.
“It’s now time to focus on what is arguably one of our most important summer transfer windows we have ever had, where we need to bring in a whole range of players.”
