Blues hit back at Brady

3:29pm Friday 3rd February 2012 in News

EMBITTERED bosses at Southend United have accused former chief executive Tara Brady of failing to do his job properly while at the club.

In a statement issued today, the Blues said Mr Brady had only been interested in the footballing side of the business and commercial goals were “considerably off-target” as a result.

Bosses also refuted the suggestion that Mr Brady had invested a much larger sum in the club than the £150,000 claimed by chairman Ron Martin.

The statement said: “The lack of committment to the whole task of being the chief executive of the club naturally led to some conflict with the chairman, resulting in Tara’s decision to leave.”

However, the statement also claimed Mr Brady and Mr Martin were still in regular contact, despite reports to the contrary.

It included two emails, allegedly exchanged between the two men on Wednesday, to prove there were no hard feelings.
