Karren Brady criticises departing Keys

West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady has fired a parting shot at Richard Keys after he left his role as Sky's main football presenter, claiming he has "added insult to injury."

After defending sexist comments he made about female assistant referee Sian Massey as "lads mag banter," Keys said that Brady would not return his phonecalls after he made comments about her as well.

Brady said: "Perhaps Richard thought I was too busy making the tea and washing up to take his call but a cursory glance at the weekend's newspapers or television would have made him well aware that I was heavily occupied with the West Ham and Newham Council Olympic Stadium bid."

She added: ""West Ham's future in the Olympic Stadium is of far more significance to me than his future."

After Keys suggested that the scandal had replaced negative press coverage surrounding West Ham, the former Birmingham managing director said: "It is most unfortunate that he has chosen to add insult to injury by suggesting that this incident has done me a favour by getting West Ham out of the press, as after all I did not ask to be part of his sexist tirade."
