- Jarrod Bowen, West Ham's captain, has issued an apology to the club's supporters for the "embarrassment and pain" caused by their relegation from the Premier League.
- The Hammers' 14-year stay in the top flight concluded on Sunday, with their 3-0 victory over Leeds proving too late to prevent their drop into the Championship.
- This relegation comes just three years after the club achieved its greatest modern success, when Bowen's goal secured the Conference League title in Prague.
- Bowen admitted that the team "weren't good enough," stating that this was the simple reason for the season ending in relegation, contrasting it with the "best night" of his career winning the trophy.
- He praised the unwavering support of the fans, acknowledging they deserved more, and expressed confidence that the club has the desire and fight to bounce back to the Premier League swiftly.
