LONDON (AP) — Tottenham director Keith Mills thinks Premier League rival West Ham is the favorite to take control of London’s Olympic Stadium after the 2012 Games.
The soccer clubs were selected this month as the final bidders to take over the stadium. Tottenham’s application with American sports and entertainment giant AEG involves removing the track from the stadium.
The Olympic Park Legacy Company plans to announce its preferred bidder by the end of the year.
Mills, who is also deputy chairman of London 2012, says that “West Ham’s proposals are to leave the running track in place, and if it stacks up economically, I am sure the OPLC will award it to them.”
Mills sees Tottenham’s bid as the “alternative” option.
