West Ham: Staveley receives Sadiq Khan encouragement to buy London StadiumDoor is open for West Ham United, and Staveley, to buy their London Stadium homeThe door is open for West Ham United to buy their London Stadium home, with the Mayor welcoming any future discussions after Amanda Staveley said property would be part of her next football investment, City AM can reveal. A subsidiary of the Greater London Authority owns the London Stadium – which costs the taxpayer around £19m per year – and rents it to West Ham United under favourable terms negotiated by former co-chair Baroness Karren Brady. A spokesperson for London Mayor Sadiq Khan told City AM he “would welcome any discussions regarding the London Stadium that would deliver greater value for money for Londoners”. Could Staveley lead West Ham to London Stadium purchase? West Ham dropped into the second-tier Championship at the end of last season but have sold over 50,000 season tickets as fans show their support for the east London club.
