Brady leaves West Ham but Sullivan going nowhere
The Guardian
|April 22, 2026
Karren Brady has stepped down as West Ham’s vice-chair after 16 years but David Sullivan has no intention of following his longtime ally out of the door despite the Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky moving to match his fellow owner’s control of the club.
After Brady’s shock announcement of her departure sparked a day of major change at the London Stadium, it emerged that Sullivan and Kretinsky have lined up deals to buy a portion of the Gold family’s 25.1% stake and are poised to share power in the boardroom.
The battle for influence at West Ham after David Gold’s death in January 2023 led his daughter Vanessa Gold to appoint Rothschild & Co to sound out interest from potential investors in her family’s shareholding. It is understood there was interest from buyers who looked at purchasing the Gold stake and possibly more. A source said that would have raised the prospect of Sullivan, who partnered with Gold to buy West Ham in January 2010, heading for the exit.
