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.

Yes what we need now is another meaningless and/or embarrassing statement from clown Xia

So with zero facts, other than the CEO being suspended, you've decided Xia is a "clown"?

On what basis?

To be fair, our inability to pay our PAYE bill is pretty embarrassing.

Something which is more likely to be the responsibility of the CEO rather than the owner.

The owner who is incapacitated in his desire to sort the club out?

The one who used a factoring company on the Amavi transfer money?

What a mess.

It's all smelling a bit Carson Yeung. Or a bit Leeds, even worse.

In the back of my mind I have a vivid recollection of Dr Tony saying he'd got a 2 year plan to get back in the Premiership when he took over.  No panic when Di Matteo was sacked, & no panic when we didn't go up last summer.

He didn't say what might happen if we didn't go up this year, however...

SVC on Twatter will have some credence on saying Wyness was talking to new investors / owners without Dr Tony's knowledge.

Palace in the mire for their tax affairs too - https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jun/05/crystal-palace-threatened-with-being-dissolved-over-late-accounts - perhaps, like some of my bills they've both missed the month end payment date...looking for positives...

We did pretty much gamble everything on going up this year.

Nothing new there, plenty of other teams similar to us have done that down the years. Wolves would've been in major trouble if they hadn't gone up this season themselves.

Difference is they remembered to turn up and actually win their important matches during the season. We didn't and will have to face the consequences.

I can't help but think that in his shoes, I wouldn't have suspended Wyness if I had any intentions of continuing.  Given the crisis we are already in, it would be the last thing we'd want.  It HAS to be that he was touting the club.  Perhaps it's wishful thinking on my part but I'm hoping the suspension is the beginning of the end as it all ends in tears for the Xia era.

I think Xia tweeted around the beginning of the season that they had envisaged a three year effort at most to get promoted.

I've always believed for Tony it was a calculated gamble, spend the money get promotion then sell at a tidy profit. The gamble failed now he will do his level best to extricate himself without losing too much money. Whatever, I believe we will have a new owner or owners by the start of the new season.

I really don't think it was his plan to get out

He might be forced to

Dr Tony is a good man the play off final is a major set back.
I feel he has the assets and finances it just difficult at this moment. I think ceo going is good all round. Outdated and now out the door.

2 yrs ago he was pledging to be in the champions league, promised ground improvements and redevelopment of Aston. Now he can't pay our tax. He ain't got a clue

There is a distinction between cannot pay and has not paid.

I put it to you that he has not paid it because he could not pay it.

Crikey. You set pretty high expectations if you thought we'd be in the Champions League in a redeveloped ground by now.

Had we beat Fulham, none of this would be happening and I'm pretty confident there would already be renders of a new North Stand in the public domain.

I refer the honourable gentleman to various circumstantial evidence statements that allude to the notion that the bill remains unpaid and that furthermore, statements to the effect that the club are working with the HMRC on the matter point to (at least a short term) inability to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due.
