West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady insists the Hammers are the best option to honour the legacy pledge made on the Olympic Stadium. Speaking in the London Evening Standard, Brady explained: "Shaping legacy success has been the key factor in continuing to pursue our interest despite the many twists and turns," she said.
"Nobody is better placed to deliver the legacy for London than West Ham United. Our proposal would ensure a vibrant, busy stadium immediately upon the opening of the venue in 2014.
"Our vision is not solely held by us. We have had plenty of support along the way as we look to stand up for the promises made for London back in 2005.
"Indeed, Lord Coe said when we first began our journey in 2010 that our bid 'lives with the commitment we made back in Singapore'.
"If we were to be fortunate enough to be granted the chance to do so, West Ham United would provide a world-class stadium that would be their home.
"Put simply, we believe it is the best move for our fans and the best chance for us to grow as a club."
A decision on the identity of the tenants is expected to be made in October.
