End of the story for Rice and West Ham
When asked whether the historic victory over Fiorentina was Rice's last match in a West Ham shirt, Sullivan told talkSPORT: "I think it has to be.
"We promised him he could go. He set his heart on going.
"You can't ask for a man who has committed more to us this season.
"In due course, he has to get on and we have to get a replacement - or several replacements.
"You can't keep a player who doesn't want to be there."
