West Ham chief Brady unhappy with players over Cup exit

West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady was unimpressed with their FA Cup exit at Stoke City last week.

And Brady said she will be less inclined to allow them to go for warm weather training again during a mid-season break. Avram Grant and his players spent three days in Portugal in the buildup to the tie.

Writing in her column in the Sun, Brady said of the defeat: "I make a quick calculation that today's FA Cup defeat at Stoke is costing us about £1.2m.

"Neither did we get much of an immediate return on the players' warm-weather break in Portugal so there will be another hard think before I agree to it again."
