David Sullivan, West Ham United, Independent Football Regulator
8 June 2026
David Sullivan has been accused by seven women of sexually predatory and exploitative behaviour in historic claims published after his West Ham resignation. Sullivan categorically denies the allegations and says they are false.
The Independent Football Regulator is seeking urgent information about Sullivan’s suitability under its owners and directors regime. West Ham said the allegations do not relate to club operations, but the case adds pressure after relegation.
