Summary
The club's co-owner and largest shareholder, 77, resigned as co-chair in June ahead of the airing of a BBC Panorama and Times investigation in which seven women accused Sullivan of predatory behaviour, which he strongly denies. The match against Portsmouth is the first the club have played since the allegations against Sullivan were reported. A joint investigation by BBC Panorama and The Times revealed Sullivan has been banned from contact with West Ham's women's and youth teams for the past three years because of safeguarding concerns.
Furthermore, Sullivan resigned from his position as co-chair of West Ham in June after seven women accused him of sexually exploitative and predatory behaviour, allegations he categorically denies. The businessman remains West Ham’s largest shareholder and has categorically denied the allegations, describing them as “factually incorrect and entirely false, decades-old allegations concerning my personal life”. The move that would have seen the Czech billionaire overtake Sullivan as leading shareholder.
In addition, Staveley, though, has reportedly also made an offer to Sullivan, who is believed to be open to selling his stake in the club but values it at much more.
