David Sullivan, the co-chair of English club West Ham United, has stepped down from his role as joint-chair of West Ham with immediate effect following allegations.
After 16 years at the London outfit, the 77-year-old has decided to call it quits in order to fight “false allegations” about his private life.
The administrator, who built a business empire said, as per the BBC:
“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.”
Sullivan, alongside his friend and business partner David Gold completed their takeover of West Ham after selling Birmingham, and brought Karren Brady with them as vice-chairman.

Their tenure oversaw the unpopular move from Upton Park to the former Olympic Stadium in 2016, making the three of them the focus of numerous anti-board protests among the club’s supporters even before the club were relegated from the Premier League this season.
