West Ham face new uncertainty over London Stadium future

West Ham United are facing new uncertainty over their London Stadium home.

The Sun says the company which owns West Ham's London Stadium could go bust next month if mayor Sadiq Khan pulls the plug.

E20 Stadium LLP's latest accounts show it was loaned £14million of public money to stay afloat last season.

And documents filed at Companies House state the London Legacy Development Corporation — an off-shoot of the Greater

London Authority — is only committed to propping up the London Stadium until September.

It is unlikely West Ham will suddenly be made homeless because the political fallout of winding up the stadium company would be huge.

But E20 may not be financially viable in the long term unless it can re-negotiate current deals with the Hammers and UK Athletics.
