Birmingham City have announced that the club’s Managing Director Karren Brady is out of intensive care and continuing to make excellent progress. Ms Brady had undergone surgery on Friday on a brain aneurysm and doctors are reportedly very pleased with the results.

Having spent Friday night in the high dependency unit she was transferred back to her ward on Saturday and Birmingham City have said that she is doing very well.

Brady is well known as the most high profile woman in English football having taken on the role of managing director at Birmingham City in 1993 and revived the club’s fortunes, taking them from a lower league club in administration to their current position amongst English football’s elite in the Premiership.

36 year old Karren, who was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm in late January 2006, is married to Derby County footballer Paul Peschisolido and the couple have two children.
