David Sullivan is unlikely to sell West Ham United despite a potential “exit strategy”.

West Ham’s board is controversial amongst fans despite the club’s recent success. Despite investing huge amounts over the past few years, they don’t really do themselves any favours. While the decision to partly remove concessions has been the most outrage-inducing as of late, the appointment of Julen Lopetegui has also been placed largely on the shoulders of David Sullivan.

Recently though, the club’s largest shareholder sold his London mansion at a £10 million loss, leading to rumours that he could be about to sell up. However, finance expert Dan Plumley has written this off.

I think supporters will always look at things connected to their club and that’s natural,” Plumley noted when speaking to West Ham Zone.

“If you see something connected to a person in the ownership group and there’s a financial element running through it, you’re bound to have a look.”

“I don’t think it has any direct bearing on the situation at the London Stadium and we know of course with the new investment that’s come into West Ham over the last few years that we were kind of thinking there might be an exit strategy for Sullivan in due course.”

“It doesn’t seem to have any direct bearing on the club and actually, what may happen at that club in the future is more probably linked to the new investment coming in than the current group that has had it for a long time.”
