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.
