Keith Wyness

[luke95]

Aston Villa have suspended CEO Keith Wyness. The move comes at the same time as it`s emerged that Aston Villa are working with HMRC to resolve an unpaid tax bill. However, BBCWM understands that the suspension of Wyness and the unpaid tax bill are in no way connected. #avfc https://t.co/c7atKhy7W2

Not that WM is a great station but the beeb do have pretty high standards in reporting substantiated  facts (which is why sky often break news first)

Sky reported 'On Tuesday, Villa suspended Keith Wyness, its chief executive since 2016, amid what sources described as efforts by him to find new funding to see the club through its current funding crisis.'

So who has he been speaking to?

Probably the Provident .

Hearing from several sources now that Aston Villa's financial difficulties are serious. This could very well lead to administration unless a buyer steps in to rescue it. Whether Xia would talk sensible numbers, though, is quite another matter. #AVFC

Wow, didnt expect a picture of our two new forwards quite so soon - well done, Legion.

Ah, so this is what it feels like to be a Small Heath fan.  Financial uncertainty, humiliation and the feeling that your club’s had it’s pants pulled down by another bunch of charlatans.

The tax bill is nothing to do with the suspension, so I have just read elsewhere. Maybe Wyness has been suspended for pilfering.  Those pies can be quite expensive.

Big up all the people who refused to listen to those of us who questioned Xia's wealth.

Billionaires don't watch tax bills go unpaid.

If HMRC have only threatened to petition for winding up so far, then the only way that could be public knowledge is if they told the press (which they wouldn't do). I suppose someone at the club could have leaked it, but its quite possibly being exaggerated.

Far too much specualtion and not enough facts to get worried yet in my opinion. It could easily be just a cock-up.

This doesn’t sound like slashing wrists time. Apologies if posted previously:

Championship side Aston Villa have suspended chief executive Keith Wyness.

The announcement came as it emerged Villa are working with HM Revenue & Customs to resolve an unpaid tax bill, although that is in no way connected to Wyness' suspension.

It is understood that the club will pay the outstanding amount within the next 48 hours.

HMRC would not act like this if one set of PAYE payments were missed. This must have happened on a number of occasions.

Yes something is wrong

HMRC demand what's due or they issue. What's not common place?

You can believe me or not, and I dont want to go into my business dealings with HMRC, but if one set of PAYE  payments are not meet, you do not get a winding up notice. More payments have not been made or a cumulative debt has built up. Well thats my personal experience.

Presumably if we have been withholding PAYE payments for a lengthy period of time, a number of people in the club would have known - finance director, company secretary.  What on earth has been going on?

Just what we need at a time for remoulding for next season , a suspended Chief executive and a Chairman in China. Who is the next most senior person at our club in this country ?

Bella.

Talk is we are looking at ramping up the professionalism in the place after this latest fiasco. 

Gerry Cottle come on down.

The radios will at least mean that they were not so isolated as Grabban and Hogan
