Karren Brady’s comments about the club have been the only show in town over the last 24 hours. She’s been knocked from pillar to post – along with the owners – by the media but here’s what the fans at ClaretandHugh’s Facebook forum have to say at https://www.facebook.com/groups/363174467150521/

O There will always be those that will use any, and every, opportunity to have a go at the owners (and those associated with them). Constantly looking for the smallest sign of a negative act must be really hard work. The club is not a charityO Not sure anybody has been saying it is a charity. The owners have done a great job, overall apart from a few huge mistakes like Abram Grant. But it does just smack of a similar feeling to Birmingham before they left.
O Surely they could be pushing the value of the club up for their own benefit, I mean….how much was pumped in to furnish the debts?? They have always said they have no intention of selling yet and it benefits them to have an asset which is growing in value if they choose to keep it too….I think they’ve done a great job the odd mistake aside
O Astronomical mistakes in the last 6 months umm I haven’t seen that many. As far as I can see they are doing the best for the club. If things were going right on the pitch we wouldn’t be hearing hardly anything that’s in the press or on social media.
O So who would you suggest are the people to take us forward – a mega rich Arab/Russian/Indian/Chinese etc. who has plenty of money but no idea about football? We are fortunate to have owners that (I believe) genuinely love this club.
OYes the reactions to this are wrong but it does show a lot of of anger boiling out there towards Brady, the move and the drive to turn us into Arsenal II.
O Personally, I think that most of the anger is being directed at the wrong targets and it only exists because the team are not performing as well as many expected.
O If you think we are soulless now, wait until the mega rich owner comes along. But then we’ll be in the Champions League with the latest Messi or Ronaldo, so I guess you’ll be happy then?
O. Some people seem to be mistaking ‘culture’ for ‘history’. She is talking about something quite different. Not been helped by some journalists turning up and tweeting some of the quotes most likely to incite the reactions they duly got, without setting the context of the event.
O “Brady is simply doing her job” – I agree, and overall it seems she’s delivered what she was tasked to do.
The business in the transfer window is nothing to do with her in my view.

O Brady is only doing her job, gets paid well and shows no loyalty to us. To me that is just like any average person out there only doing his job and get paid the best they can for it. She’s done the best for the club ever since the two davids took over.
O You’ll have to go a long way back in our history to find better owners of our club than the current ones.
As for them turning us into Arsenal II, is that a bad thing? Football and money wise they are a great club to model ourselves on, as for turning our fans into ones like theirs, you need to remember their fans were soulless long before they moved into the Emirates.

O Don’t think you can compare Gold and Sullivan’s association with Birmingham with their involvement with West Ham. They weren’t City fans. Never had been and probably never pretended to be. That WAS a business venture. This isn’t solely about money but love of the club.
O I’d settle for a few seasons of Arsenal football and being disappointed at finishing 4th in the league
O Brady is her worst enemy. Her disregard and contempt to everything to do with the WHU fans is well known. All this image malarkey is to fill in their pockets at the supporters, or should I say clients, expense. COYI
These fans with a bee in their pretty bonnets about being called CUSTOMERS or CLIENTS real are a limp bunch of phallic symbols..Google Spuds..their helpline for fans is called surprise,surprise …CUSTOMER CARE LINE.
What a load of primadonnas we have amongst us.
‘Oh dont call me a customer im a fan’
Get over yourselves you Berkeleys….
Dont hold back there Alfie,i think you were diplomatic buddy 😉
I thought Karen looked great on the apprentice. Can’t wait to see series 12 episode 2. 🙂 would be great if she could get Tottenham supporter sugar binned from the show and replaced by Sullivan and gold The episode where the apprentices get sent in to sort out the problems at Olympic stadium would be well worth watching.
