It's been refuted by the OPLC but I don't doubt it's true I've been saying West Ham would win it as it's the easy decision and nobody will have to face difficult questions.
It's not the best option for athletics, the country or London but it most certainly is best for West Ham in fact it's an absolute heaven sent opportunity for them and in ten years time when there has been little or no meaningful athletics events at the stadium the case for removing the track will have been made, ten years after and the Olympics will be ancient history so athletics uk will have no argument for keeping it.
Trust me that is going to happen it was always Gold & Sullivan's plan which is why they're happy to promise anything now and so all those that think they are going to laugh at West Hams ground with no atmosphere think again, as I said months ago, with this they will become the third big London club challenging Chelsea & Arsenal and if anyone thinks differently they must have their head up their arse.
I think you've got the 100% the wrong way around. The proposal as it stands virtually seals West Ham's fate, it could be the end of them.
The other side of that coin however is that perhaps Sullivan and Gold will sell out to a billionaire playboy, in which case game on. If they find someone with serious dough to purchase the club then that same someone can probably foot the bill for putting in retractable seats or whatever...
Without him though, they are finished.
