It may not have been his idea to gamble everything on promotion but he sat there taking the money until it was obvious to anyone with a brain it was going down the pan. Bleating now that he's getting blamed for following orders - well a few people have used that defence before without much successThey weren't Xia's plans. They were his. I would happily agree that Xia was naive and reckless. But it was that fat prick that was the architect of the plan to overspend our way up. At least he wasn't telling fibs at the Trust AGM in March. There was a Plan B if we didn't go up. I just didn't expect it to be deliberately grind us into Administration so you can force a cheap sale to your mates and take a nice financial kick back when it happens.In case he is feeling litigious, said Stan Collymore....well if that's true and i have no reason to doubt your sources, then Wyness' bleating is even more self-serving. I am staggered that he was given that much rope to run the show though.

Aye, if he had such a problem with xia's plans you'd think he'd have resigned before the shit hit the fan or refused to go along with it in the first place. It may not have been his idea to gamble everything on promotion but he sat there taking the money until it was obvious to anyone with a brain it was going down the pan.

I suppose it depends on how much he did off his own back and how much, if at all he stood up for himself if he disagreed with the owners orders.If you're a statutory director, in the eyes of UK law it absolutely is your fault/responsibility to fix.

It's why Wyness has brought a tortious interference claim rather than constructive dismissal apparently

Quote from: Ads on July 23, 2018, 11:04:49 PMIt's why Wyness has brought a tortious interference claim rather than constructive dismissal apparently So I looked up tortious interference and came across this... If you’re still asking yourself, “what does tortious interference mean,” look no further, below is a simple and concise tortious interference definition and example by author of the Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage Bryan A. Garner. Garner, speaking to legendary New York Times wordsmith William Safire defined tortious interference as the following, “Say you had a contract with Joe Blow, and I for some reason tried to get you to break that contract…Or say that Pepsi has an exclusive contract with a hotel chain to carry Pepsi products, and Coke tries to get the hotel to carry Coke despite that contract. That’s tortious interference.” Is Wyness saying he was sacked for trying to carry out details listed in his contract/job description?
Sorry if this is old news but, I've just seen a tweet from Wyness saying how it was privilege to have worked with Bruce and how he's a brilliant man-manager etc. The comments are a joy to behold. I'm sorry I can't link it but I see Jon Crofts was a responder, perhaps he can oblige.
