Khan gives Brady 45 minutes on massive issues

|

West Ham Vice-Chairman Karren Brady finally achieved her meeting with London Mayor, Sadiq Khan 15 months after first asking.

Disappointingly the meeting lasted just 45 minutes indicating the complex issues surrounding the London Stadium could not be resolved between the pair in that time frame.

Last week the London Mayor insisted he had not met the Baroness because he wanted to have a purpose and a meeting of substance saying it can’t just be about tea and biscuits.

The club has since issued a statement saying:

“Karren Brady, Vice-Chairman of West Ham United, met with Mayor of London Sadiq Khan on Monday.

At the meeting which lasted around 45 minutes, they discussed a range of issues, including improving operator standards and making London Stadium have the look and feel of West Ham United. 

The Club remain hopeful that, now dialogue has commenced, it will pave the way to reaching a more constructive communication between the parties in the future.  Both parties shared a joint commitment to ensuring that London Stadium is safe and secure for all West Ham supporters for the remaining five home games of the season and thereafter.”

    So from one politician to another, waste some time, talk nonsense for half an hour, smile shake hands and achieve nothing.
    Have another 10 meetings, build a committee, appoint 20 advisors, waste a few million, and achieve nothing.
    Couple of clowns smiling for the cameras.

      Yeah, Dave, I’m sure that’s exactly what it was like…. Get a grip and grow up! Just because you’re bitter that you’re not at the ‘top table’, making things happen, it doesn’t mean you have to waste bytes on the internet, and our time, with pointless, negative drivel like that.

        Dave’s obviously new to this site, and as such wasn’t aware that all posts should be approved by you first!
        Jesus wept, you really ARE as big a Berkshire as I suspected.

        • Mr Buddy Lurve says:

          Ha ha! Sorry to have upset you MMG. Unlike most of you, I want to see some positivity on this site, rather than the constant negative blame culture that has taken over. It’s very simple to sit behind your keyboard and bash out pointless criticisms. You must all feel so proud of yourselves.

          Incidentally, you have absolutely no idea who I am, what I’m like or what I stand for. Still, you’re entitled to your opinion. I’m sure you’ll have no issue in providing it.

            Upset? No, not me fella.
            Just getting a bit sick and tired of some of the posters on here slagging off anyone with a differing (not pro-board) opinion.
            If you can’t take the negativity and associated posts, I’d suggest you read the Beano. Or maybe the Sun, I hear Brady writes a fantastic column, should be right up your street.

    Totally agree Dave total waste of time

    With you 100%, Dave. I think they’ve taken their cue from the NHS; very similar business (or lack of it), model………..
