Brady Gone
In a statement, issued on April 21st, West Ham informed that Baroness Karren Brady, Vice-Chair of West Ham United, would step down from her role at the Club. On the same day West Ham United confirmed that Executive Director Nathan Thompson had stepped down from his role with immediate effect after over nine and a half years at the Club.
Jacob Steinberg in The Guardian reminded the chairman David Sullivan (who remains in his role) argued in 2017 that playing in the London Stadium meant West Ham no longer felt like a tinpot club. But the vibes were superficial, Steinberg says: “Feeling like a big club only goes so far. There are plenty of deft clubs in the top flight and West Ham are lagging behind. After 10 years in Stratford all the evidence shows that the stadium cannot cover up the structural flaws. Brady leaves with West Ham fighting for survival. It is a questionable legacy. In a season of few wins the overwhelming majority of supporters regard Brady going as a victory, but the work is far from done.“
