West Ham need to show Olympic Stadium is essential

The owners of West Ham United have clearly got the club's long-term interests at heart as they look at moving the club away from Upton Park and into what would be a 60,000 all-seater stadium, but they should perhaps have spent more time looking into how they can strengthen their squad so that it is strong enough to stay in the Premier League, something the football betting tips suggest could be problematic.

Spurs are a side looking to take their income up to the next level in order to compete for the Premier League title and they could fill a 60,000 seater stadium, but West Ham seem to be looking to move in the vague hope that they one day are able to fill the stadium.

Despite the fact that they may be playing Championship football next season, the club’s owners still seem far more interested in stadium plans rather than looking at the significant problems of the here and now that the team and manager Avram Grant currently face. The football predictions suggest they are in real trouble.

The Hammers know that the effect of being relegated is primarily financial, but they will also surely realise that another effect would be far lower crowd levels, an occurrence that would be embarrassing as well as expensive if they were playing at a near empty stadium. Should they be relegated because they spent more time wondering about future troubles, then the fans that are currently disgruntled with the club may start venting their anger at the direction the club is going in, in a far more forcible way.
