Both of which would satisfy the "why should West Ham get a free stadium ?" mantra. Wow, bulldoze the whole thing within 3 years and build housing, like that wouldn't cost any more.
The fact is, they've been able to negotiate a cracking deal, because the alternative is for an enormous empty shell of a stadium to sit there rotting.
Actually, if they pulled the whole f***ing thing down and built much needed affordable rented housing for people who need it, there wouldn't be 'an enormous empty shell of a stadium to sit there rotting' at all.
Your argument appears to have shot itself in the foot there, somewhat.
