Vice-chair Karren Brady is one of the senior West Ham figures meeting with the club’s Fan Advisory Board on Thursday night where answers are expected to a host of major questions, including one on her own future.

It is fair to say Karren Brady has never been the most popular figure among West Ham fans.

Despite that, it was undeniable Baroness Brady did a brilliant job turning around West Ham’s finances from the brink of reported administration to the 16th most lucrative club in world football just a couple of seasons ago.

Brady and the Hammers board no longer have finances to fall back on as a feather in the cap, though.

That’s despite several years of success on the pitch, increased revenue from European football and the £105m club record sale of Declan Rice.

This is shocking! 😰 Relegation is going to be dire for West Ham…

What would YOU do to avoid this mess?

As a result of the club’s rapid regression over the last two years, West Ham’s Fan Advisory Board issued a public vote of no confidence in the board back in September, prompting the club to send Brady to meet with them.

That meeting takes place on Thursday night where Brady will be the most senior West Ham figure in attendance.

Last weekend West Ham responded to claims Brady is leaving ahead of the fan summit meeting.

Now we go inside West Ham’s key fan meeting as the Brady exit claims gather pace.

One of the key demands put to the Hammers board by the FAB in September was that Brady and majority owner David Sullivan stand down from the day-to-day running of the club.

Despite the Hammers’ hierarchy insisting they ‘know nothing’ about Brady planning to leave the London Stadium, rumours have persisted that the vice-chair could use the meeting to announce her intentions to quit at the end of the season.

The hugely significant meeting takes place at 6pm and was delayed by West Ham from the end of January.

West Ham asked to outline five-year vision ahead of £100m losses announcement

The FAB are expecting all the outstanding answers to questions asked in the original meeting back in September, which you can view in full below.

Hammers News was told the feeling among the FAB is that ‘Brady and co are running out of cans and running out of road’.

Would you take relegation if it meant that David Sullivan would leave?! 🤔

Not a nice position to be in – but what would YOU choose if you had to?

The West Ham Fan Advisory Board (FAB) will be meeting with Brady, ticketing director Nicola Keye and head of supporter services Kerry O’Shea.

Amongst other agenda items listed below, the FAB will be briefed on last season’s financial accounts which will be published on Friday, showing record losses.

In the original meeting with West Ham back in September, direct questions were put to the club’s hierarchy along seven key themes.

Those themes are: Leadership and Governance, Financial Strategy and PSR concerns, Commercial and Stadium strategy, Heritage and Culture, Strategic Vision, Fan Relations and Trust and Squad matters.

Supporter Representatives then shared the following key questions on each of the subjects respectively and this meeting is where West Ham are expected to address and respond to each.

In what is a potentially huge moment for West Ham from 6pm on Thursday night – here’s every question Brady and co are expected to answer:

• When will the Club move to a professional governance model (which they believe is a CEO + Director of Football with autonomy)?
• What credible financial strategy will enable consistent squad investment, and prevent PSR concerns?
• How will the Club balance revenue generation with fan experience, inclusion and equality?
• Where is our heritage and why has it not been displayed seven years since the written commitment by the board was made?
• What is the five-year vision for West Ham United on and off the pitch?
• What structural changes will ensure genuine, timely and meaningful supporter engagement in future decision-making?
• What is the long-term footballing vision for recruitment, youth development, and European competitiveness?
