Kretinsky to become West Ham's largest shareholder as co-chairs respond to Sullivan allegations

Daniel Kretinsky and Vanessa Gold have publicly backed the women who spoke out in a BBC investigation into David Sullivan, and have agreed a deal that will make Kretinsky the club's largest shareholder. The ownership shift consolidates Kretinsky's long-running push for control of the club and effectively marginalises Sullivan's position at West Ham. Sullivan's diminished stake ends a decades-long era of his influence over West Ham, with Kretinsky now positioned to reshape the club's governance and strategic direction.
