The Football Association opened a safeguarding investigation in 2023 after receiving allegations about the conduct of Sullivan, the co-owner and then the co-chair, of West Ham United. In response, a safeguarding group made up of the club, the FA and the local authority decided to prevent Sullivan from having access to his own club's youth and women's teams, the BBC has learned. He has also been prevented from attending their matches, with the ban remaining in place to the present day. Sullivan has not responded to a request for comment, but has previously said he denies allegations of wrongdoing. West Ham co-owner accused of preying on women for sex Published1 day ago
