West Ham United faces relegation from the Premier League, which could cause London taxpayers to lose up to £2.5 million annually. This is due to the club paying less rent under its lease agreement for London Stadium if they move down to the Championship league.
Key Facts
West Ham is currently 18th in the Premier League with one game left and is likely to be relegated.
Tottenham, two points ahead with a game in hand, can confirm West Ham's relegation with a draw against Chelsea.
West Ham has a 99-year lease agreement for London Stadium, paying £4.4 million per year in rent.
If relegated, West Ham would pay about half of their current rent to the Greater London Authority.
This rent reduction would create a funding gap of up to £2.5 million that London taxpayers would cover.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan criticized the lease deal made in 2012, saying it is unfavorable for taxpayers.
Stadium operating costs, like stewarding, might increase because Championship teams play more home games (23) than in the Premier League (19).
Commercial revenues from the stadium are expected to decrease if West Ham plays in the lower league.
