A spokesman for West Ham has insisted that the club have done nothing wrong and have no concerns regarding a potential legal challenge over the club's move to Stratford.
It was claimed earlier that West Ham's move to the Olympic Stadium may once again be in jeopardy after revelations regarding the club's failure to correctly follow protocol with regards to state aid applications were published by the Guardian.However a spokesman for the club has told the (local) Guardian that they remain fully confident of completing the move without any hitches.
"West Ham United is confident that its agreement with the LLDC complies with all relevant UK and European legislation and categorically does not constitute state aid," they said.
"Indeed, the European Commission looked into a complaint in relation to our move to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in 2013 but 'decided not to further pursue' the matter.
"The club was selected as anchor concessionaire following a fair, transparent and robust process that was open to any group or organisation in the country. Without West Ham United, the Stadium would continue to cost the taxpayer millions of pounds a year.
"With us, the public purse will see a return on the hundreds of millions of pounds that were committed to build the Stadium, long before West Ham's association had begun."
