David Sullivan open to selling his West Ham United stake | OneFootball

Former West Ham United vice-chair David Sullivan is open to selling his stake in the club, according to The Athletic.

The 77-year-old called time on his involvement at West Ham over the weekend, citing claims of false allegations.

Sullivan owns 38.8 percent of the Hammers and is now considering selling it, having called the shots since 2016. He could bag £300 million for his stake.

Co-owner Daniel Kretinsky bought his 27% stake for £182.5m in 2021, and he may try to buy Sullivan’s shares.

However, there another buyer could emerge after PAI Capital made a £400m bid to buy the club in October 2021.

However, would-be buyers may be reluctant to offer less than £300m, as relegation has affected the club’s value.

West Ham fans have called for Sullivan’s departure for years and are getting close to getting their wish following his resignation.

Nothing is guaranteed yet, but his exit could be on the cards after he signalled his interest in selling his stake after stepping down.

The Hammers will not be short of suitors, and supporters will hope a consortium capable of helping them secure an immediate return to the Premier League buys Sullivan’s shares.

Clarity over his decision concerning his West Ham future will emerge in the coming weeks, and fans cannot wait to see the back of him.
