Summary
David Sullivan stepped down immediately as West Ham co-chairman and director after being told serious historic allegations against him were about to be published.
West Ham said Sullivan denied any illegal conduct and chose to leave to avoid disrupting the club while he deals with the matter privately.
The club said none of the allegations are understood to relate to West Ham United or any of its operations.
Sullivan has been West Ham's largest single shareholder since David Gold's death in January 2023, holding a 38.8% stake after the pair took over the club in 2010.
