West Ham United joint-chair David Sullivan has resigned after revealing “factually incorrect and entirely false, decades-old allegations concerning my personal life are due to be broadcast and published”.
With a 38.8% stake in the club, Sullivan is West Ham’s largest shareholder but has come under fire from supporters disgruntled at the club’s move from Upton Park to the London Stadium.
West Ham were relegated at the end of last season and will play in the Championship in 2026/27.
Sullivan, who also resigned as a director of both WH Holding Limited and West Ham United Football Club, issued a statement denying any wrongdoing.
It read: “I have recently become aware that factually incorrect and entirely false, decades-old allegations concerning my personal life are due to be broadcast and published.
“The false allegations levelled against me have been sensationalised by the media. After a lifetime spent building businesses in the adult industry in which I have met thousands of women, it is sadly inevitable that a small number of improper conduct claims are being made against me. I categorically deny these claims.
“I have not been provided with any proper explanation as to how these individuals or their claims were independently verified or assessed for credibility prior to publication. I believe that the entire process has been fundamentally unfair and completely lacking in any due impartiality. I will be suing the BBC for libel, along with any other media outlet that repeats any libelous allegations.”
