West Ham once again show that they pulled off a masterclass when it comes to their stadium.

Although it’s not great for atmosphere, nor fan experience in general, the deal for the London Stadium was an absolute financial masterclass from West Ham.

Not only is it rented for a ridiculously cheap £4.7 million-a-year, and they’ve also got some great clauses in there.

When Kretinsky invested in the club, it led to the club being ordered to pay £6.5 million the the stadium’s owners LLDC, but the High court has demanded that LLDC pay back £3.6 million of this.

Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness has explained that this is just another example of how much of a “disaster” the deal was on LLDC’s side. “It’s good news,” he told Football Insider.

“This just shows what a terrible deal the London Legacy Corporation did. It’s been called the deal of the century, and I think it is.”

“They’re paying £2.5million a year as a tenant in that stadium, it’s incredible.”

“The Legacy Corporation thought they had a contract which entitled them to big profit on the sales of any shares, but they’ve got it wrong. West Ham have won the appeal.”

“It just goes to show what a disaster it was, but we are where we are.”

“If Kretinsky wanted to sell up soon, then they’d now be left without any share of that deal. West Ham have run rings around them. It’s good news for David Sullivan and Karren Brady. It’s such a good deal for the club.”
