Karen Brady’s fears over Premier League regulator labelled as nothing more than “self-interest”.

West Ham’s current owners may have overseen the most successful West Ham side in the last 45 years, but that doesn’t mean they’re popular.

The way they’ve run the club at times has been disgraceful. From the way they do business, to selling Upton Park, they’re always going be disliked by the large majority of fans.

Unfortunately, this hasn’t been helped by financial expert Kieran Maguire’s claims that Karen Brady’s protests against an independent regulator in English football is only to benefit herself.

“I think there is a huge amount of self-interest in Karren Brady’s comments,” said Maguire to TBR. “There is no evidence that it will discourage investment in the Premier League.

“The reason I say that is because, since the announcement of the regulator, we have seen Ratcliffe come into United, Bill Foley come into Bournemouth. There has been huge amounts of investment in other clubs as well, including Kretinsky’s in West Ham, so this appears to be scaremongering from Karren Brady.”

“When I talk to some investors, they say they aren’t keen on the things the Premier League has done itself. Under Premier League rules, for example, the owners of Newcastle can’t invest as much s they want, nor can the owners of Aston Villa or the new owners of Everton.”
