West Ham set to become £1 BILLION super club

Published on: 27 March 2016

West Ham expect to be swimming in money thanks to their move to Stratford.

The Sunday Express says the Hammers are on course for a gold rush that is set to be worth at least £1bn.

They expect to make £200m a season after moving into the Olympic Stadium next season.

And barring unforeseen disasters - and bumper transfer payouts - they are likely to have the billion to play with by 2021.

Full details of the deal with the London Legacy Development Corporation have yet to be revealed but the benefits to the Hammers are certain to dwarf the basic £15m a season rent they have agreed to pay to play at the new stadium for the next 99 years.

That includes almost £100m they are guaranteed from the season's TV payout to each Premier League club.

As every home match now looks like being sold out there will also be at least another £54m to be banked over the season.

All that comes on top of the £20m Galliard and Barratt Homes have paid for the right to build 700 apartments on the site of the old Boleyn Ground.
