West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan has shrugged off abuse from fans after their FA Cup thrashing at West Bromwich Albion.
Sullivan was targeted by angry fans after being spotted leaving the game early.
A source told the Daily Mail: "He never leaves and considers it his duty to stay, but he was crestfallen by the performance and had seen enough. At 4-0 down and down to ten men, he couldn't face all the glad-handing in the boardroom after the game.
"He was happy to talk to the supporters, as he always is, and he understand emotions were running high, but they became aggressive and abusive.
"David remains as committed to West Ham as ever and wants the club to continue to make progress. He was bitterly disappointed with what he called "the worst performance of the season", but the club are eighth in the Premier League and he is demanding a big finish to what has been a good season."
