The owners of London Stadium, the home ground of West Ham United, have expressed concerns over not being informed about safeguarding restrictions imposed on David Sullivan, a co-owner of the club. These restrictions emerged after the Football Association launched an investigation into Sullivan following allegations of misconduct. As a result, a safeguarding group, including the club, the FA, and the local authority, restricted Sullivan's access to West Ham's youth and women's teams. The news surfaced through an investigation by BBC Panorama and the Times, which revealed allegations against Sullivan of inappropriate conduct. Sullivan, who denies these claims, stated the restrictions were a temporary agreement with the FA, which he accepted to avoid disruption. London Stadium has sought further information from the club and authorities, emphasizing the need for transparency in matters affecting risk and safety.
