West Ham fans will be furious at an astonishing new leak about vice-chair Karren Brady which has emerged ahead of the clash with Aston Villa.
Karren Brady is fiercely unpopular among Hammers fans – but her standing and reputation may now plumb new depths.
Supporters have been protesting in a bid to force Brady and majority owner David Sullivan to leave or stand down from the day-to-day running of West Ham United.
It looked like there might be success on that front when the fan group behind protests were forced to respond to claims Sullivan and Brady are now set to leave West Ham at the end of the season.
Fresh rumours Brady is set to leave West Ham
Indeed fresh rumours have even suggested Brady could stand down as soon as January.
The slogan of what Hammers United have vowed will be a season-long campaign of activism against the owners and board is ‘No More BS’, using the initials of the unpopular duo.
Imagine YOU have just taken over West Ham?
What is the very first thing you do?
West Ham supporters have put protests on hold in the wake of the death of the club’s most legendary player Billy Bonds.
But Brady and the Hammers board face a sea of red at the London Stadium for the rest of the season when protests restart at the Fulham game.
After a public vote of no confidence in the owners back in September, West Ham’s FAB has met with Brady to outline changes they are demanding.
One of those is for Brady and Sullivan to stand down and proper professionals to be hired to take over the day-to-day running of the Hammers.
Now astonishing new details surrounding Brady and West Ham’s future have emerged following a leak that will leave supporters stunned.
The revelation includes the staggering wage total Brady has amassed during her time at the club.
As scrutiny on the board and key decision-makers continues, the leaked information from a prominent Hammers insider who counts Brady and Sullivan among his close confidants at the club, has added fresh pressure at a pivotal moment for West Ham both on and off the pitch.
Astonishing new Brady leak on West Ham future
West Ham’s Premier League lives are at stake on the pitch with Nuno Espirito Santo facing his most winnable run of fixtures over the next six weeks.
Off it, the Hammers are set to announce record losses surpassing the £100m mark.
Set against the backdrop of fan protests, it is not unreasonable to suggest Brady’s position might become somewhat untenable.
But West Ham fans should not get their hopes up it seems.
Because insider Sean Whetstone has delivered news on Brady’s future after a leak from the corridors of power at the London Stadium.
Not only is Brady refusing to bow to fan pressure, she will continue to add to the staggering fortune she has earned in wages since arriving at West Ham nearly 16 years ago.
According to Whetstone, ‘Brady has no current plans to leave West Ham next year’ despite rumours – and fan pressure – to the contrary.
The insider then revealed on Claret and Hugh that Brady is estimated to have received over £16.5 million in wages and bonuses from West Ham by the end of this season.
Stay, leave or improve…
What should West Ham do with the London Stadium?
It is reported that Brady’s total pay reached nearly £15m (£15,226,000) up to the end of 2023/24, with another estimated £1.5m landing in her bank account this season.
After West Ham lost their opening game of the season 3-0 at Sunderland, Brady appeared on talkSPORT to address takeover talk.
Brady insisted West Ham’s owners are going nowhere anytime soon, but supporters hoped the fan uprising since may have changed that.
It seems, on the evidence of this update, that may be false hope.
