West Ham fan through and through, only time I've been out of Europe, they won a European trophy.
'Better than Paracetamol', occasionally a soft southern bastard
So the Sullivan Panorama airs tonight
Whilst I utterly hate him, it's worth remembering that there are victims in all of this
It IS great to see justice being served and the MSM finally reporting this, but we must show respect to those deeply affected by his deplorable actions
For anyone who may be interested, a couple of years ago I became involved in a legal dispute with the law firm Brabners (who at that time represented them on some matters). As a result of that dispute, I was introduced to journalist @TomLatchem, who explained that there appeared to be attempts to silence victims in relation to Sullivan’s interests. Somehow, I found myself drawn into it.
A lot has happened between then and now: court appearances, extensive correspondence, and a number of people putting their necks on the line to make sure this programme happened.
Do I believe the victims I have spoken to? Yes, absolutely. I also independently verified many of the details they shared with me.
One thing I did not manage to do, which still frustrates me, was track down his former driver. A number of survivors described the same pattern: the driver would stop the car in a layby, offer the victim a cigarette, and give them a moment to compose themselves. From what they described, he appeared to know what was going on and, in those moments, showed them some compassion.
A spokesperson for the BBC:
"BBC Panorama and The Times newspaper have been working together on a joint investigation into the behaviour of David Sullivan."
"The investigation is due to be broadcast and published on Monday."

As part of Sport Direct’s new “When football was football” campaign…
We have 2x retro inspired shirts to give away.
Just follow Terrace Edition and repost this to enter.
First day back in the office since relegation. Expecting 'banter' and trolling, so wearing a claret and blue suit in defiance.
I assume this won't help, but I'm still better dressed than Sullivan and I won't be leaving early.

@MartinAllen1965 The problems start right at the top sadly.
Hopefully, recruitment and investment in the summer goes well, and we can keep some leaders and professionals.
Sad day for a great club, but hopefully we fight back.
