Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky is set to become West Ham United's largest shareholder, increasing his stake in the club from 27% to 43%.

The change in power occurs after Sullivan stepped down as a director and co-chair amidst recent allegations.
Daniel Kretinsky, the owner of Royal Mail, is poised to become the largest shareholder of West Ham United. The Czech billionaire has agreed to purchase an additional stake in the club from the Gold family, which will elevate his ownership from 27% to 43%.
This increase in Kretinsky's power at West Ham follows recent developments involving David Sullivan. Sullivan stepped down from his roles as a director and co-chair of the club last weekend.
His resignation preceded a joint investigation by The Times and Panorama. This investigation reported on seven women who accuse Sullivan of abusing his power and preying on them for sex, with claims reportedly dating back to the 1980s and 1990s.
According to Guardian Football, both Kretinsky and the Gold family have expressed deep concern regarding these revelations.
