Royal Mail owner Daniel Kretinsky is set to acquire a 46% stake in West Ham, making him the club’s largest shareholder, through a deal with remaining shareholders, including David Sullivan. This agreement follows a pre-emption rights situation involving Amanda Staveley, who is now excluded from investing. Sullivan’s stake will increase to 40%, while Tripp Smith’s ownership will rise to 11%. The independent regulator is reviewing Sullivan’s suitability as a director, but the latest deal won’t trigger further scrutiny.
