David Sullivan, West Ham United
6 June 2026
David Sullivan resigned as West Ham joint-chair after being made aware of impending serious historic allegations. The 77-year-old denied the claims and said they relate to his personal life, not the club or his football work.
Sullivan said he was stepping down to focus fully on legal action against the allegations. West Ham confirmed the move after a difficult period that also included relegation and supporter anger toward the board.
