West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan has stepped down as joint chairman amid a joint BBC Panorama and The Times investigation into his behaviour. The club stated they were aware of "impending publication of serious historic allegations" against Sullivan, who denies all claims as "factually incorrect and entirely false". Sullivan, 77, resigned to focus on clearing his name and plans to sue the BBC and any other outlet repeating the allegations. This comes after West Ham's relegation from the Premier League. Interim CEO Karim Virani will lead day-to-day operations. The club says the allegations do not relate to West Ham's operations.
