One name potentially in line to replace Karren Brady could be former Hammers managing director Angus Kinnear.
The former Arsenal marketing director joined West Ham in 2o13 to oversee the move to the London Stadium after his experience with Arsenal moving from Highbury to the Emirates.
While at Arsenal, he reportedly tried and failed to put the word London on the badge, a feat he managed at West Ham, where he is credited with the crest change.
Kinnear left West Ham in 2017 to join Leeds United as Chief Executive, where his base salary was £522,000 but rose to £1.4m with bonuses.
Angus moved again to join Everton last May as their Chief Executive.
Brady salary would tempt former Hammer
Everton’s accounts for last season show the highest-paid director, assumed to be Angus Kinnear, earned a salary of £562,000 per year, which is modest by Premier League standards, but he is likely to have some bonuses similar to the ones he enjoyed at Leeds.
Karren Brady was paid £1.47m last season, and that is thought to have reached £1.5m this season, so West Ham could have the budget to financially incentivise Kinnear to come back to West Ham should they and he wish to do so.
Highly unlikely. He was headhunted for his role & he’s been the CEO of a massive club & started in his role last summer.
He isn’t going to West Ham.
Rubbish! If West Ham are prepared to pay him a huge salary plus bonuses he’ll move. He quickly went to Leeds and then Everton. People like him will go anywhere someone is going to pay them more for the same amount of work.
