Letter from FAB signed by 11 supporters’ groups

Hammers United urges Sullivan and Brady to resign

West Ham’s official fan advisory board, which represents more than 25,000 supporters, has issued a vote of no confidence in the club’s board.

A letter from the FAB, signed by 11 supporters’ groups, was sent last week to the shareholders David Sullivan, Vanessa Gold, Daniel Kretinsky and Tripp Smith and made public on Wednesday. It cites “an ageing and uncompetitive squad” as one example of “sustained failure on behalf of the executive management” since the club won the Conference League and sold Declan Rice to Arsenal for £105m two years ago.

One group which is a signatory to the letter, Hammers United, is calling for a boycott of the home game against Brentford next month. The FAB is described by West Ham as the club’s “primary mechanism for formal consultation and engagement”.
