The Irons could turn a profit using many areas of operation should, and hopefully once, they take over the London Stadium.
Claret and Hugh spoke about the failure to finally find a naming partner for the London Stadium in a piece on the site yesterday.
Being associated with the successful football club we are becoming put figures up to £50 million firmly in the frame.
After finding a sponsor for the naming rights it would be time to fix other loss-making activities.
The top priority should be to relocate athletics from the London Stadium, it was always a vanity project far better suited in Birmingham or Crystal Palace.
The others are clear:
The truth is private companies know how to eliminate waste and negotiate sound business contracts in a way the public sector never can where taxpayers money is available.
Put that all together and you have a good chance to turn a loss-making stadium into break even or turn a small profit.
That has to be a win-win for West Ham, the taxpayer and the government. You know it makes sense!
