West Ham are reportedly exploring the option of turning their rental of the London Staidum into a permanent purchase after it was revealed that the current ownership was losing money 'year on year' at the expense of the taxpayer.
The Hammers are apparently open to seeking a full takeover of the former Olympic venue as Lyn Garner, chief executive of the publicly funded London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), explained that the landmark would be running at a loss even if a naming-rights deal was secured.
Unaudited accounts that have been reportedly viewed by The Times apparently show the true extent of a £31.
