This one quote by Hearn did rather stand out! :)

"West Ham, with the Olympic Stadium, in my view will become one of the major clubs in Europe within four or five years."

WEll we are already about number 20 in terms of revenues and the Stadium will bring us up to about number 12, so technically he is correct.

To be honest, as a taxpayer I can understand why people would want to see aspects of the deal, taking the West Ham specs off.

See the one of the labour shadows is backing him up and asking why it cost more than the City of Manchester stadium - maybe he should ask his colleague Tessa Jowell who was so adamant that there would be no football the design did not allow it.
