Karren Brady not leaving West Ham United to join Birmingham City
Sunday People journalist Neil Moxley says that Karren Brady is not set to leave West Ham United to join Birmingham City as their takeover nears.
Laurence Bassini sparked speculation on talkSPORT on Wednesday (15 June) that the Irons chief was set to become the vice-chairman at St Andrew’s.
Moxley admitted that he put two-and-two together and predicted that it could be Brady, but it appears as though she will be going nowhere this summer.
Writing on his personal Twitter account on Thursday morning (16 June), Moxley addressed that and cleared the air regarding the future of Brady.
“I didn’t mention Karren Brady,” he wrote. “But, like everyone, did put two and two together.
“On this occasion, it makes five. She won’t be re-joining Blues. The female referred to yesterday by Bassini isn’t her.”
Changes coming?
Brady may not be leaving for Birmingham as things stand, but a big reshuffle could be due soon.
David Sullivan told Moxley that he has another club in him after the Irons, and is loaning the money to Bassini as a frontman to take over the Championship club.
This is the first step potentially into a new adventure.
It was reported by the Guardian back in November that Daniel Kretinsky has the option to complete a full takeover at the Hammers, and you would like to think that is getting closer now.
That could start a whole new era for the Irons, who could have David Moyes and Rob Newman working together on transfers without the constraints they have faced for years from GSB.
Whether Brady would follow once that takeover is complete is yet to be known, with Kretinsky potentially having his own team that he could bring in and integrate into the boardroom.
Change is coming at the London Stadium, but it looks as though not immediately.
In other West Ham United news, the Irons have been offered the chance to sign this £12.8million goal machine after his club was relegated.
