West Ham’s co-owners and vice-chairwoman are not the most popular people around Upton Park the London Stadium at the moment.
The move to the Olympic Stadium has been far less smooth than hoped, with underwhelming results and tension between fans, stewards and owners over the enforcement of sitting in areas of the ground.
There’s also the small matter of changing the club’s badge to a simpler design – gone is the Boleyn castle and in comes the word ‘London’.
And Karren Brady’s latest comments – made at the Sport Business Summit in London – have done nothing to fan the flames.

Now, it has been pointed out that the conference in question suggests Lady Brady’s comments were made in relation to the corporate culture of the club.
Others have suggested she meant the club lacked a culture of success, which is no way to talk about the winners of the 1966 World Cup 1999 Inter-Toto Cup.
But this is the internet, so of course the damage has been done.

Brady: "When I arrived, West Ham had no culture."
Fair fucks. They'd only been going since 1895. Probably in some sort of societal vacuum.

It seems that she is suggesting the people who brought Arsenal youngster George Dobson to the club are those responsible for the sea change.
That’s right, the folks who brought the boy George to East London made West Ham a culture club.
Thank you and goodnight. *Bows*
