"Baroness Brady has insisted she has a "sense of duty" to Sir Philip Green’s employees to remain as chairman of his business empire".

Could just as easily have said.............Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

Anyone would think she's the only one who could do this (another) part time job.

The soppy skank is now blagging that she's refusing to resign as Green's personal brass because it's her 'duty' to stay on.

Her daughter has a "job" as a brand ambassador for Top Shop.....so basically does nothing but posts on Insta wearing Top Shop clothes, of course she wont say anything untoward about Green

Compare TV revenue from 2010 to 2017 then give me the turnover as a consequence of her 'business work' - whatever the fuck that means.

West ham are great example of her business work.

Like her or hate her, here are some cold hard facts about the club under her control taken from annual accounts

2010: Turnover £71.7m and operating profit £1.4m

2017: Turnover £183.3m and operating profit of £56.8m

(the above figures are prior to player purchases)
you can have all the hatred in the world for brady but fact is she's good at running the club business wise.

Re: The People vs Karren Brady
Can someone name me one business she has created and made a financial success of? and i am not talking about managing the shop floor for Gold and Sullivan. To me all shes done is made herself a useful female ambassador in a day and age when a certain type of bloke needs one

Re: The People vs Karren Brady
I wonder how ALL the LOYAL West Ham Utd staff who got sacked after the Boleyn Ground was sold off rather cheaply, must think about the latest outburst by Baroness Karren Brady of Knightsbridge CBE, after she has stated that she has a 'sense of duty' to the staff of Taveta Investments…


Karren Brady refuses to take 'easy' option and resign as chairman of Philip Green's scandal-hit fashion empire as she feels 'sense of duty' to its staff including her daughter, 20.

To summarise what she means: ¿I know I have argued and campaigned on many issues in the past when they didn¿t involve me, but now it does involve me and I realise the money I risk losing, I¿ve decided I don¿t care as much as I said I did¿

doesn't bother me either

like her or hate her, she's changing west ham's revenues and making moves to make the stadium ownership west ham's eventually - both of which will lead to a more successful team

or as others have said would you prefer a useless chairperson who sat in silence and not achieve anything.

Re: The People vs Karren Brady
Alfs,

Goldfinger, Sully and the Baroness have a five year Master plan was for Champions League Football…

TBH, I don’t whether they have started their stop watches on that Five Year Champions League Football Master Plan! Do you know if they have? Seems pie in sky, pig may fly, from Goldfinger, Sully and the Baroness…

NOW, instead of the Five Year Champions League Football Master Plan, the talk is world-class brand…

Baroness Karren Brady of Knightsbridge CBE development of West Ham United as a world Class brand, has been a ‘revelation’…

At the moment, here is more reaction to the Baroness, as she develops West Ham World Class branding processes, from a recent newspaper comments column…

She is her own biggest fan. She won't be swayed by public opinion as long as there's profit to be made from their joint investments.A Baroness and a Knight...there's no honour here.

Mr G Myers, London, 17 hours ago
What a hypocrite! Brady will I suggest have a hard time getting even the most dense reader to believe a word she spouts in future on the subject or equality and rights. Bet her columns get cancelled!

King-Pontificate, London, United Kingdom, 17 hours ago
She's weak and fake. Typical of the MeToo brigade. They don't like it when the gun is turned on their interests.

Alfs, you are quite right, NO pussyfooting ditherer is the Baroness…

There is no doubt that Baroness Karren Brady of Knightsbridge CBE, has developed the West Ham brand, in her own unique way… Even you mentioned, “She may be a 'poisonous cunt', as some on here affectionately call her…”

As Takashi Miike 11:36 Sun Feb 10 wrote;

“her speaking at The Grocer Conference will be golden 😂 “

Alfs 2:39 Mon Feb 11
Re: The People vs Karren Brady
CaptainBlueAndClaret - are you Sheldon Cooper?

You're all moaning about her being a ruthless and ambitious businesswoman but isn't just what West Ham need? Or do you want some pussyfooting ditherer like Peter Storey to return?

She may be a 'poisonous cunt', as some on here affectionately call her, but like it or not, as a businesswoman she has an excellent record.

I can understand that a lot of fans hate WH being turned into a brand - but if they didn't, we'd be left behind. Liverpool and Man U have been doing it for decades - hence their trophy cabinets.

The choice is, become a world-class brand or languish in the lower leagues?

Re: The People vs Karren Brady
I've said it before and I'll say it again. This baggage has been lauded by those who should know better as a successful entrepeneurial business woman, who should be held up as some role model for other women. But she's never been anything more than a ruthless manager of David Sullivan businesses ie., football clubs he owns.

She's never started a business of her own and has only run well established businesses that have been handed to her on a plate.

She claims to be a feminist, but started working for Sullivan at his revolting Daily Sport rag, which could not be further away from the feminist cause and probably despised by most moral women
And then she teams up with Green, a man who everyone in the rag trade knew as a sleazy misogynist, but that didn't stop her from taking his money.

Her hypocrisy over the Green scandal is just breath-taking, but not in the least surprising seeing as she gets paid a shed load of money from him for doing pretty much fuck all, apart from chairing a few meetings a few times a year. She no doubt thought that apart from the wedge it would be a good way of burnishing her image. Well she couldn't have got that more wrong.

I've said since the minute she walked into the Boleyn ground that she was a complete wrong 'un, and the sooner she's out of our club the better for WHU.

Boycie 10:39 Sun Feb 10
Re: The People vs Karren Brady
A small point of order. None of this is her money so I don't see what makes her a great "businesswoman". Sure she works for other people so basically she is "employee of the month" month in month out. She makes herself fireproof but what "talent" does she utilise other than using other people's money on what they tell her to?

Nurse Ratched,

RE: "For the life of me, I don't see what different or additional skills women business owners require, compared to male ones

Am I just being a thicko or a fascist or something?"

Nurse, thank you for asking… I’ll do my best to reply!

With the Baroness Karren Brady of Knightsbridge CBE, being publicly ‘fanfared’ as, one of the UK’s most well regarded businesswomen. PERHAPS using the Baroness of Knightsbridge as a 'special case study', might be helpful…


FIRSTLY, please take time to read the full Telegraph article, which has been published on the forum board of KUMB;

http://www.kumb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=165549&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=2520#p5406154

Just to add, there are 128 pages of reading for you, to evaluate the Baroness of Knightsbridge there… Some light bed side reading to start off with!


SECONDLY, reading the comments section of the Daily Mail may also be helpful, in the understanding of public opinion (possible Customer feedback)of the Baroness of Knightsbridge;

Apprentice star Karren Brady refuses to condemn Sir Philip Green despite backing sexism fight by criticising other rich men facing similar allegations
• Apprentice star said she would not be resigning as chair of Taveta Investments
• Owns Sir Philip's Arcadia Group - which includes his stores such as Topshop
• Baroness Brady has often railed against other wealthy men accused of sexism

HERE are a a few comments from the Readers Section.

I've always respected her but now I see she's just like all the other money makers and can't be trusted. C'mon Karen, where's your integrity?

Scotty, Cambridge, 1 hour ago
I can only guess that the weight of cash could have a serious effect on decision making when using the wrong words might prove expensive. During my working years I encountered several who chose that path, but their employers recognised their weakness and used it to their advantage.

juliejule, Paris, France, 1 hour ago
Her whole career has been around ruthless, sexist dinosaurs, and she has done very well in this camp, why would she criticise, the hypocracy of her narrative of being a successful independent strong woman in a mans world, is laid bare for all to see

in a town near u, gotham city, United Kingdom, 1 hour ago
Bloody jumped up woman has an over inflated view of herself, much preferred her when she used to appear in the Sunday sport,

nMan, Sherwood Forest , United Kingdom, 45 minutes ago
As usual money talks, morals walk. Another band-Waggoner hoist by their own petard!


THIRDLY if you can, perhaps attend in person to the three events, where the Baroness of Knightsbridge WILL be attending and speaking;

[1] Women in business EXPO 2019.

[2] The Grocer Conference.

[3] The Institute of Engineering and Tecghnology (IET) Annual Dinner with guest speaker, Baroness Karren Brady CBE.

THAT may be insightful as well…

I hope that helps.
