Brady exiles ‘The Insider’
The official website has been featuring news and gossip from the thinly disguised source who yesterday made some interesting revelations in what was turned out to be his last appearance.
Among the information he shared with fans was that a £20 million bid had been made to a Scottish club for a striker and that there was no truth in the suggestion that Michail Antonio was being hunted by by Chelsea.
It was a mould-breaking feature from the club who have bowed to the view of some fans that it was all too much information and that transfer dealings should be kept secret.
And thus West ham is to adopt the same policy as every other club in the land who give out as little ‘real’ information as possible and have closed down the column.
Karren Brady responding to a follower who claimed the column made us look unprofessional said: “I have asked for ‘the insider’ be removed from the website and it will never be repeated again.”
What a shame! It was silly, it was fun and there was the odd little gem of information in there showing that West ham was not prepared to play by the usual rules which appears to believe a football club should behave in the same way as a secret society or intelligence agency.
Daft and a bit petty.
