Tony Livesey leaves 5 Live following allegations against former Daily Star boss David Sullivan

The Story So Far

Tony Livesey has stepped away from his broadcasting position at BBC Radio 5 Live amid ongoing developments involving West Ham United co-chairman David Sullivan. The presenter's departure follows recent claims surfacing from Sullivan’s previous tenure as the head of the Daily Star newspaper. While Sullivan is now primarily recognized for his leadership at the London Stadium, these allegations relate to his historical involvement in the media industry rather than his current activities within football. This connection between a prominent media figure and the Hammers' hierarchy has brought Sullivan’s past business ventures back into the spotlight. The situation remains a point of interest for those following the off-field associations of the club's ownership.
