West Ham women’s team not told of David Sullivan’s restricted access to them
The Story So Far
West Ham United's women's team and the Women's Super League were reportedly not informed about limitations placed on David Sullivan's contact with the squad. The club’s largest shareholder has faced restricted access to the women’s and youth setups since 2023 following a safeguarding probe. This investigation was initiated by the Football Association after a complaint was filed regarding alleged sexual misconduct unrelated to football. Reports suggest that confidentiality regulations prevented the league and the players from being formally notified about the situation. These restrictions were implemented as part of a standard safeguarding process while the governing body looked into the matter.
