Karren Brady Resigns as West Ham Vice-Chair With Five Games Left

The timing deepens scrutiny of West Ham's leadership during a precarious survival fight.

Overview

  • West Ham confirmed Tuesday that Baroness Karren Brady has stepped down with immediate effect after 16 years on the board.
  • Following Monday's 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace, the team sits two points above the relegation zone with five Premier League matches remaining.
  • Brady said she will turn her attention to her business interests, her duties in the House of Lords, mentoring programs, and her role on The Apprentice.
  • Club chairs David Sullivan and Daniel Kretinsky praised her contribution, citing the London Stadium deal, a shareholders transition, and the British-record sale of Declan Rice.
  • The exit follows sustained fan protests over poor results and a reported £104.2m pre-tax loss in the club’s latest published accounts for the year to May 2025.
