edit and just to be clear not saying they are in relegation fight at all. But if hammers keep winning and grab their next two there could be only 10-12 points from 5th European spot to relegation for the final run in

One of their best players died tragically and they sold off half the team. Luis Diaz, Alexander-Arnold, Kelleher, Quansah, Darwin Nunez. Tskimikas and Elliott went out on loan. All of those players were major contributors over the last few seasons.
Sure, they spent a ton of money but only Ekitike and Wirtz have been any good. Isak has barely played. Kerkez has not been as good as advertised. Frimpong and Leoni have been mostly injured. You can't swap out half your team and expect things to keep on ticking.
Salah has been absolutely terrible, father time waits for no man. If they're lucky, Liverpool will get a fee for him to go to the Saudi Pro League in the summer, but just getting his salary off the books would be a huge bonus. He's not anywhere close to being worth his place in the team.
