Daniel Kretinsky must follow Eintracht Frankfurt to be accepted at West Ham

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has stated he would consider a credible proposal from West Ham United to purchase the London Stadium, provided it protects the public interest and taxpayer value. The venue reportedly costs taxpayers around £19 million annually. This situation presents co-owner Daniel Kretinsky with an opening to pursue outright ownership and address longstanding fan dissatisfaction regarding the former Olympic venue.

The article highlights Eintracht Frankfurt as a model for stadium expansion, noting the German club is evaluating plans to expand its venue toward an 80,000 capacity. Potential options explored for West Ham include major redevelopment of the London Stadium or seeking a purpose-built alternative.
