Exclusive: West Ham break silence over Brady rumours

Image for Exclusive: West Ham break silence over Brady rumours

West Ham Vice Chairman Karren Brady is scheduled to meet with the Fan Advisory Board next Thursday, 26 February. A senior West Ham club source insists this morning that they know nothing about rumours that Karren Brady will be leaving her role at the club in the coming weeks.

When Claret and Hugh put the recent rumours to the club insider today, the response came back:

“I  know nothing about it”

The day after the meeting, West Ham’s financial accounts are due to be released on Friday, 27 February, one day before the Companies House deadline.

Unless the Baroness has yet to tender her resignation and inform her board, this latest information makes her imminent departure less likely.

Brady joined West Ham in 2010 after the Gold and Sullivan takeover and has spent 16 years as the Hammers’ Vice Chairman and de facto CEO.

She has earned over £16.5m in pay and bonuses over that time.

In recent times, Brady has been the target of a campaign calling for her resignation, including a banner flown from a plane last weekend over the Burton Albion stadium.

    Well done Karren. West Ham have been fortunate to have had the stability provided by Karren Brady over such a long period.

    This reign of wisdom and dedication is not over yet. As you write Sean, her imminent departure is very unlikely.

    Brady has been packaged and marketed as a business woman but she’s really just a reality show participant .

  • Alan Sugar says:

    Never ran her own business. Driving a Porsche when was 21. The queen of marketing spin. Brady is just a brilliant actress in the corporate world.

  • ForReal says:

    I’ve no idea how she’s got this reputation as a brilliant businesswoman without ever having owned a business.

    To be blunt, she doesn’t seem particularly bright to me.

    It’s probably why she’s having all these cosmetic procedures to deflect attention from the fact she’s incompetent and offers nothing.

    A lot of people see through that. I certainly can.
