Aston Villa in turmoil after failure to pay tax bill of £5mBy Laurie Whitwell for MailOnline 21:14, 05 Jun 2018, updated 21:31, 05 Jun 2018Aston Villa have been plunged into further uncertainty after the club suspended chief executive Keith Wyness amid a failure to pay a late tax bill just shy of £5million to HMRC.It is understood Villa had been given until last Friday to settle the overdue sum but missed the date and were threatened with a winding up order.The club insist the matter will be resolved inside 48 hours - with an initial payment of £2m - but Sportsmail understands there are allegations owner Dr Tony Xia has failed to put cash into the club for three months, raising huge concerns. Xia is said to have been struggling to get money out of China following a government clampdown. Owner Dr Tony Xia has failed to put any money into Aston Villa in the past three monthsIt is said Wyness, in his duty to find financial alternatives, was trying to raise funds through minor investors but Xia reacted badly to advice and temporarily dismissed his top executive.In an alternative version of events it has been claimed Wyness was attempting to bring together a consortium to buy the club without Xia's prior knowledge. The Chinese businessman then found out and acted.

Or a wealthy American, there's always a wealthy American

The Chinese businessman then found out and acted.Either way, Villa are left rudderless well into a vital transfer window where £40m of savings must be found to adhere to Financial Fair Play regulations. Jack Grealish could be sold for £30m, while clubs are interested in £10m-rated James Chester.A Villa statement read: 'Aston Villa Football Club can confirm that chief executive, Keith Wyness, has been suspended by the club with immediate effect. Owner and chairman, Dr Tony Xia will assume the role until further notice. There will be no further comment from the club at this time.Director of football Steve Round also faces an uncertain future given he was a Wyness appointment. That in turn leads to significant scrutiny on Steve Bruce's position with the manager not yet told of summer plans.Bruce, currently on holiday, still has not received detailed communication about the impending cost-cutting or been given assurances he will lead the team into next season. In a statement last week Xia failed to clarify whether the 57-year-old would continue following play-off final defeat.

All very worrying. Just how in the name of God has this been allowed to happen. The owner needs to make a statement ASAP, he just can't allow the situation to drift.
