West Ham United have confirmed that Joint-Chair David Sullivan has stepped down from his position with immediate effect.
Mr Sullivan has also resigned as a director of both WH Holding Limited and West Ham United Football Club, having been made aware of the impending publication of serious historic allegations. It is understood none of the allegations relate to West Ham United or any of its operations.
Through his own legal representatives Mr Sullivan denies any illegal conduct and has taken the decision to step down in order to avoid disruption to the Club while he addresses the matter privately.
Interim Chief Executive Officer Karim Virani, reporting into the current Board of Directors, will continue to be responsible for leading the Clubโs day-to-day operations. The Club will provide an update on the future structure of the Board of Directors in due course, but will make no further comment at this time.
@TheRageOwl@itvfootball@gabrielclarke05 Okay, we should go home cause we played against a team who strangled out a draw, by playing a block of 11 in front of goal the entire 90 minutes. That didn't play football at all. Sure.

@GhanaBlackstars@FIFAWorldCup Ghana strategy to win the WC. Just park this in front of your goal next time boys. Save yourselves the trouble. Bunch of pussies. Don't come to the WC if you aren't even going to try & play football.
@not_somebody1@ESUKUNYE@England@FIFAWorldCup Came far closer than Ghana ever whiffed. Yep, Kane skied a sitter. Also hit the woodwork & forced a goal line clearance from a defender.
So again, what did Ghana do? Apart from sit 11 men in front of their area all game? Strangle the game out for a point?
@rickwhufc@England We can't play the same way we did against Croatia, when all the opposition are doing is standing an 11 men brick wall in front of the goal all game to try & strangle out a point.
Had that gone on to extra time, Ghana would've almost certainly been out in a knockout game.
@LukeFlux1@England It's not even England's fault. Ghana were the ones literally overcrowding their net. Ghana are just a bunch of pussies man. Atleast England attempted shots. Ghana only attempted 1. Ghana didn't even try to score. They were just blocking England off.
@bbach234579@lewis70442330@England@FIFAWorldCup Oh we have a FAR better chance than Ghana. If they qualify between 90 mins & 30 extra time, they'll get penetrated inevitably doing that. At least we tried to play football. Not just stand an 11 men wall in front of our goal all game.
@mm_reesy@ESUKUNYE@England@FIFAWorldCup They strangled out a draw. We'd have done them in extra time & came close toward the end of a 90. They ain't gonna win no trophy.
@VkrBrown@ESUKUNYE@England@FIFAWorldCup Because all they did was put 11 men behind the ball all game & strangle out a draw, instead of playing football.
It's clearly obvious in a knockout game we'd have done them in a extra time & almost did 3 times toward the end of the 90.
