Sullivan defiant: West Ham owner plans to attend despite bullying claim

Accused of misconduct, the 77-year-old co-owner feels forced out by 'keyboard warriors' but eyes Saturday's cup tie.

What happened. David Sullivan is considering defying advice to stay away from West Ham's first home game, feeling 'bullied' into missing it after resigning as co-chair following sexual misconduct allegations.

• Sullivan resigned in June after seven women accused him of predatory behaviour, which he denies.
• London Stadium operators and fan advisory board recommended he not attend over unrest fears.
• One staff member plans to stay away due to the 'circus' around the game.

“cannot be serious about wanting to do well if this is what is planned for the season ahead.”

Sullivan worries about the team's state and lack of transfers ahead of their first Championship season in 14 years.
