The Independent Football Regulator (IFR) is seeking urgent information from West Ham co-owner David Sullivan following “extremely serious allegations” of abusing his power and preying on women for sex. Sullivan has “categorically” denied the claims, uncovered by BBC Panorama and The Times. The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport emphasized the seriousness of the allegations. Sullivan recently stepped down as joint chairman of the club to address the matter privately.
