West Ham chief David Sullivan is proud of their deal for the Olympic stadium.

It was revealed this week that the Hammers will pay just £2.5m a year in rent to make the 60,000-seater stadium their new home.

“We've done a great job for West Ham but believe you me, we've done a great job for the nation, too," said Sullivan.

“We've done great job for the country, we've done great for jobs in Newham, for tourism, for business for Westfield – this is a win, win for everybody.

“It's jealousy and envy, which is a British trait. They love to pull people down. They love to moan.

“We're a high profile London club, we've got a fantastic stadium and we now may threaten some of the big clubs because we've got a big capacity.

“This is a good deal for everybody. From the bottom of my heart I really believe that."
