Karren Brady has told a journalist that she intends to stick it out at West Ham - despite having lost the backing of many supporters.
Brady was in the Directors' Box for the recent home game with Burnley and was, along with her two fellow Board members David Gold and David Sullivan, subject to a barrage of criticism from demonstrators before leaving her seat early.Embed from Getty Images
However the 48-year-old stold the Guardian's Simon Hattenstone that she had no intention of stepping down from her position as vice chair at the club, a role she has held for eight years.
Asked whether the time had come for her to move on, having lost the support of the fans, Brady replied: "I’ve never walked away from anything I’ve done, and I’m not going to start now.
" I’ve taken every opportunity, pushed myself in ways I’m not sure I knew were even possible, I’ve made the best of my life and career. So yes, I do feel proud of myself.
"The toughest thing about being a success is you’ve got to keep on being a success. You have to do the things you’re passionate about, that you love.
"Who the hell wants to get to 48 and think: ‘I wish I would have, I should have, I could have done this, I might have done that.’ You don’t really do much in life unless you take risks, push yourself and find your passion."
