I’m sure it was always their plan to move in, stay there a few years till the Olympics was forgotten about then bulldoze it down and build a new stadium. Levy obviously thought so too hence pushing so strongly for the 99 year athletics track lease. Although something has changed around that lease but I can’t remember what it is.

West Ham will end up buying the ground for a quid when the government call time on that deal. Unless someone else offers to buy it off them for more
Random Spurs fan places £2 bid.
Its losing money,so obviosuly the origianl deal wasn't good enough.Scrap it,make a new one where West ham have to pay 20 mill a season.
it's the only fair option...

Is West Ham's residency at the London Stadium in peril?
Explore the brewing concerns around taxpayer subsidies and the financial strain caused by onerous contracts.
In this eye-opening update, we delve into the financial intricacies of West Ham's stadium deal and the potential ramifications for both the club and the taxpayers. Discover the shocking revelation that the stadium's owner, E20 Stadium LLP, took legal action against the law firm Allen & Overy over alleged negligence in brokering the deal that granted West Ham a 99-year lease in 2013.
The fallout from this legal dispute resulted in a reported seven-figure settlement, shedding light on the questionable aspects of the initial agreement. The London Stadium's financial woes are further highlighted by the revealed revenue of £6.3m for the last year (to March 2023), with £4m coming from West Ham in rent.
However, the operating loss of £11.5m raises serious concerns about the sustainability of the current arrangement.
E20 Stadium LLP's accounts disclose an exceptional one-off revenue of £8.5m due to legal disputes with West Ham and Allen & Overy. Despite this, the fair book value of the London Stadium is listed as nil, rendering it essentially worthless as an asset.
Unravel the complexities as E20 Stadium LLP grapples with a £90m loan and accrued interest owed to LLDC.
Furthermore, ominous provisions in the accounts hint at future losses amounting to £232m, stemming from onerous contracts with both West Ham and UK Athletics. As the financial storm brews, the crucial question arises: Could London Mayor Sadiq Kahn seek to have West Ham removed from their cherished ground?“

Any brain dead idiot knew that they were being charged much too low a rent.
I think they also have an agreement that the rent halves if they get relegated.
Scandalous yes, but thst down to the stadium owners and those that brokered the deal.Not West ham.
EDIT
As much as i would like to blame them for everything that is wrong in the world...

Khan wins back all the Ulez LTN refusniks in one stroke but evicting West Ham. HILLAROUS
And then they come begging to ground share with us whilst looking for a plot of stadium sized land in Essex, and Levy, just laughs!Khan wins back all the Ulez LTN refusniks in one stroke but evicting West Ham. HILLAROUS
Interesting as well that they have a picture of Karen Brady next to the words “Massive trouble looming”
Oh the outrage on X about the tackle on Ings in the first half (the one where the Bristol player got thr ball). Spammers seemingly forget that the game is called football, where players use their foot(or feet) to kick the ball....the Bristol player got the fucking ball, all this talk of reckless in the follow through is jus BS, how the fuck can a player stop immediately after hitting the ball?
I think this one is a bit of an unlucky tackle as the Bristol players foot goes onto the ball with studs down and just above the ground and then bounces off it upwards towards Ings' leg. If it doesn't bounce of the ball he's going to broadside it and then plant his foot into the ground. The intention and execution isn't a red for me, only the outcome.
It's a grey area of the game for me, where the speed of the game makes small small differences have a very big impact on the outcome.
And some of the time it's so dependent on what the opposing player decides to do. If a defender clears the ball and the opposing player is late to it but instead of going for the ball just decides to rush into the path of the clearence. yeah he's going to get the defenders studs on his legs a lot of the time.
But you can't argue the defenders should just stop following through on a clearence, that's just the fucking technique of how to shoot a ball.
I’m glad they are out but moyes is absolutely correct about the VAR disparity. It’s fucking ridiculous that some games have it and others don’t. It beggars belief really how unfair that is.
Smoke and Mirrors. Moaning about squad depth before the game, moaning about VAR after.
Where does the finger point next? To the relegation zone hopefully.
Moyes is bloody awful really
The sacrifice that the West Ham fans have had to take, is that winning the Conference League last year saved his job. If they’d have lost that final, he’d have got the chop and they’d have another manager now, possibly playing a better style of football.
Funny to watch as an outsider
