Carroll responds to Brady with contempt

|

Andy Carroll has treated some pretty unnecessary remarks from Karren Brady with the total contempt they clearly deserved.

Nobody can be happy with the amount of time Andy spent on the treatment table whilst at the Hammers but for the club chairman to describe him as a “behemoth from ages past” is way, way, out of order.

It’s precisely the sort of remark one would expect to find on social media from a loudmouth fan rather than the vice chairman who moonlights in many other areas of her life.

It’s allowed from the paying customers who were disappointed to see the striker out of action so regularly but it seems to us that Brady truly overstepped the line given her position at the club

Thankfully Carroll was having none of it after what was probably a dream return to Tyneside following his trouble torn and injury-ravaged spell at the London Stadium

    As a West Ham fan, I’m with Carroll. Lady Brady is Boris with a wig on. I don’t believe a word of her populist garbage.

  • Vince says:

    …and in another of her publicity hungry ventures, she lauds it over others telling them how to conduct themselves! She needs to take a long look at herself in the mirror, then close the door on her way out of the club. Who the hell does she think she is?

  • raymond gritz says:

    Baroness ? Brady has Delusions Of Grandeur…(DOG )

    In one her many previous jobs she used to sell space !!

    How the hell did she manage to elevate herself?

    Behemoth /bə- or bi-hēˈmoth/
    noun
    An animal described in the Bible (Job 40.15–18), usually taken to be the hippopotamus
    A great beast
    Something huge or gigantic

    For those, like me, who didn’t know exactly what a Behemoth is/was!

    Reading those definitions I don’t think I’d mind being called ‘a great beast’, I’m not sure about the ‘Hippopotamus’ or being ‘something huge or gigantic’ bits though! 🤔

    Laugh it of one and all..we supporters obviously would have liked a hell.of a lot more from the guy..it was a wrong move to sign him on a contract after the loan..did she ***** then no no.no it was a big risk that we took and got egg on our faces..but she was a part of thatBOARD that signed him …jog on Karen jog on!

  • Whammer1 says:

    Don’t know why the word ***** is being **ed

  • Ajay says:

    Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but crass comments from a woman who has a track record of crass comments should surprise nobody!
    The embarrassment she brings upon the club is the issue which should be addressed, although that is unlikely to happen any time soon.

    • Togstr says:

      She is right, but she is a total idiot to go public with such a remark.

      Carroll is suddenly fit again for Newcastle, after being on the sicknote a whu for years and years.

      I think she is bitter that wasted so much money on that donkey, but that’s not the donkeys fault…

  • Bucks Hammer says:

    Correct that AC is now fully fit as we are using biblical terminology the biggest comeback since Lazarus
    Brady AKA Miss Piggy again shows her total lack of class

  • Rob Morris says:

    I agree with the comments on Brady. But I can’t believe nothing’s been said about Carroll’s record over the seven seasons. Overall cost to the club around £50m and returned around 1 goal per 4 games. There should be an inquiry on his transfer to West Ham. Let’s see if he stays fit for Newcastle.
