Not if the stadium isn’t maintained and starts to fall into disrepair, which is already happening.I don’t see this being bad for West Ham. They have a legally binding contract for the stadium and it will only change if THEY agree to a change in contract, eg buying the stadium at a knockdown price. Even if the stadium sale went public and let’s say Levy bought it to knock down for flats, it wouldn’t happen without WHam getting a sizeable amount of compensation that offsets the contract already in place.
as much as we don’t like it, Wham have a good deal.
Much of it is a temporary structure. It won’t last or be improved by the owner or managers. They could find themselves playing in a stadium a fraction of the capacity they want, and what’s left being a worse toilet than it already is.
There are multiple possible outcomes but being on one side of a laughably uncommercial long-term contract rarely ends well.
