West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce insists his relationship with the club's owners is rock solid.
Allardyce accepts there's been negative fallout from their FA Cup defeat to West Bromwich Albion.
Allardyce wrote in the London Evening Standard: "On Tuesday, our co-owner David Gold came to the training ground for a planned technical board meeting regarding the academy - simple as that. That was interpreted by some as a crisis meeting about my future. One media outlet even suggested I had been sacked.
"As for the way a few fans treated David's fellow co-owner, David Sullivan, outside West Brom, I'm lost for words - and that doesn't often happen. From what they were saying and the way they were saying it, they appeared not to be in control of themselves. The really sad thing is the actions of a few, as we saw in Paris with Chelsea fans, tarnishes the majority and spoils the goodwill clubs work hard to create."
