Brady earnings well in excess of Foxes CEO

West Ham’s highest paid director – with Karren Brady, although unnamed but believed to be that person – receives a mind boggling £1.136 million a year from the club putting her among the very top earners in the game.

She also received additional bonuses for overseeing the stadium move and is of course involved in other projects including her controversial column in the Sun newspaper.

It’s an extraordinary figure in any terms and appears more than extravagant when compared to figures published in the Guardian in May of last year which shows the earnings of those in a similar position. At the time she was reported to be on £836k a year.

It puts her way ahead of many in the same position including highly successful Leicester City Chief Executive Officer Susan Whelan who – at the time of publication – was on £308,000.
