Collymore saying that Wyness went behind Tony's back and pitched the club to a few potential buyers on the cheap.
Sounds like he was at least trying to do something to save the situation.
Or he was trying to save his own neck and fuck his boss over at the same time.
That's the angle I am assuming ...at the very least Wyness picked Bruce so is culpable for his failures .The question is who had final say on transfers and wages
There'd be no point of a CEO if it wasn't the CEO.
A CEO reports to the Chairman and operates the business for the benefit of the shareholders and in this case the Chairman and Shreholders is Xia.
There would be a Financial limit under which the CEO would operate and major expenditure would require the Authority of the Chairman.
So it is unlikely that Transfers would be conducted without Xia approval.
Also Xia had Rongtian He as his daily eyes and ears at the club and knowing how the Chinese work he would have been sending regular updates back to Xia.
So the idea that Wyness was running the club off his own bat is far fetched to say the least.
