West ham vice chairman brady defends null and void premier league comments after backlash
Here's a summary of the article:
West Ham United Vice-Chairman Karren Brady has defended her comments suggesting that the Premier League season should be declared null and void due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Brady made the comments in an article for The Times, stating that the season should be abandoned and the points reset for the next season.
However, her comments sparked a backlash from fans, players, and other stakeholders, with many criticizing her suggestion as unfair and unrealistic. Brady has now defended her comments, stating that she was simply trying to highlight the difficulties faced by clubs and the need for a solution to the crisis.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Brady said: "I was trying to highlight the fact that we're in a very difficult situation and we need to find a solution. I wasn't trying to be controversial or provocative, I was just trying to have a sensible conversation about the situation we're in."
Brady also emphasized that her suggestion was not meant to be taken literally, and that she understands the importance of completing the season. She said: "I know that the Premier League and the clubs are working hard to find a solution, and I'm confident that we'll get there. I just think we need to have a sensible conversation about the situation and find a way forward that works for everyone."
The Premier League has yet to make a formal decision on the fate of the season, but it is expected to hold a meeting with clubs next week to discuss the situation.
