Speculation has arisen that the Blues could be asking the operators for permission to use the stadium for three seasons whilst they redevelop Stamford Bridge.
The ‘story’ first appeared in the Sun but the chances of such a move happening look as remote as the Hammers winning the Premer League title next season.
We were told this morning: ” West Ham could cause a lot of problems as anchor tenants and it would also mean the club would receive £7.5 million and see their the rent halved.
“That means Chelsea will also have to pay silly money to the operator whilst having to cope with any problems that West Ham want to raise.”
A Hammers insider meanwhile declared: “Such talk is the least of our problems AT THE MOMENT. Getting clear of relegation is the only thing on our minds.”
