The reason she isn't liked seems to be because she isn't Margaret.. I think she does a good job, she didn't really need to point out Susan's comments but they were undeniably stupid.. Im sure Nick or even Margaret would have brought up someone saying "Are the French very fond of their children"..”
She did a fantastic job at Birmingham City.
When she came to the club we had been left a mess by the Kumar's and BCCI. We had not had so much as a sniff of top flight football in several years.
The off the field side was appalling and the ground was run down.
Karren Brady and the Golds/David Sullivan resurrected the so-called sleeping giant (we were never that, we have always been a yo-yo club living in Villa's shado) and made the club on and off the field a far better proposition than it was before.
I love the 4 of them for what they achieved at our club. When they left they wanted to sell the club to someone who could continue their work. It is not their fault we are the next Portsmouth.
