London Stadium has recommended that West Ham co-owner and largest shareholder David Sullivan stay away from home matches because of concerns about demonstrations and antisocial behaviour following allegations of sexual misconduct. West Ham reportedly expects Sullivan to ignore the request and plans to facilitate his attendance. A joint BBC Panorama and Times investigation reported accusations from seven women, all of which Sullivan denies, and revealed that he had been barred from contact with West Ham's women's and youth teams for three years over safeguarding concerns. The report also covers Tony Livesey's departure from BBC Radio 5 Live after allegations connected to his former work for Sullivan's publications.
