“Kieran Maguire EXPOSES Karren Brady’s SHOCKING West Ham Finance LIES in Explosive talkSPORT Rant!”

West Ham United’s vice-chair took to the airwaves on the Sunday Edition with Shaun Custis and Henry Winter, where she made several revealing statements.

Karren Brady confirmed that Lucas Paquetá will not be leaving the club, despite widespread speculation following the outcome of his spot-fixing investigation.

For the Hammers, who have endured a frustrating summer so far, this is at least a rare positive update. The Brazilian remains a crucial figure, and keeping hold of him could prove vital.

Maguire clashes with Brady over her remarks

Brady did not shy away from addressing Mohammed Kudus either, highlighting his disappointing campaign last season as justification for West Ham’s eventual decision to cash in on him. Beyond the squad, she also spoke more broadly about issues within the game.

However, her remarks have already attracted criticism from football finance analyst Kieran Maguire, who took to X to express his disagreement.

Maguire strongly disputed her comments about a proposed new financial arrangement concerning the Premier League’s redistribution of funds to the EFL. More pointedly for West Ham, he accused Brady of misrepresenting the club’s ownership situation.

While she claimed that the Irons’ owners have never withdrawn money from the club, Maguire countered by noting that both David Sullivan and the late David Gold had charged the club high levels of interest on loans, effectively profiting in a different way.

Potter left undermined by ownership

For manager Graham Potter, the situation is increasingly concerning. After a humbling 3-0 defeat to Sunderland on the opening day, pressure is already beginning to mount.

The former Chelsea and Brighton boss could rightly feel exasperated by the lack of meaningful investment from Sullivan and the West Ham hierarchy.

Having inherited a squad left in disarray by Julen Lopetegui’s troubled tenure, Potter has been given little in the way of fresh resources to engineer a turnaround.

Most of the players who underperformed last season remain central to his plans, with only limited reinforcements arriving so far.

Unless the board acts decisively in the final weeks of the transfer window, the odds are stacked against Potter being able to meet expectations.

The level of improvement demanded from him may simply be unrealistic without stronger backing, leaving him in danger of being set up to fail.
