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 Club’s 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.
Should have been taken out in cuffs.
His reign is nothing short of criminal.
Sold our home, soul, anything not nailed down. Time is up, and has been for years.
Step down. Sell up. F*ck off.
And if rumoured stories are true, go rot in prison.
Vermin.
West Ham supporters are victims of this man but trust me, there are far morel important victims than us
The truth will always come out.
And it will very soon.
Jarrod Bowen on his future:
"Like I said already, I want this club to be in the Premier League."
"It's a club that means so much to me and has given me so much. So you know my vision is to get this club back into the Premier League."
