West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady has suggested in The Sun that Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is jealous of the Hammers.

Tottenham and West Ham are big London rivals, and both clubs are currently competing in the Premier League.

West Ham vice-chairman Brady has suggested that Tottenham chairman Levy is jealous of her club.

Brady wrote in The Sun while referring to the problems that Manchester United vice-chairman Ed Woodward is facing at the moment: “I know I’ve had plenty.

“I mean, engineering a move to a 60,000-seater stadium, slap in the middle of London, our prime area, helping our community in any number of ways, having the cheapest tickets in the Premier League and doing so at a cost that must turn Spurs chairman Daniel Levy green with envy makes me a target for some social media smarties who don’t know a good thing from a kick in the breaches.”
