Keith Wyness

Get Steve Stride in.

[PaulWinch again]

You can get who you want in, if there’s no money we’re stuffed.

[PeterWithesShin]

As i'm not Xia or Wyness I don't know do I. I could speculate like you are, which is exactly my point that for some reason you are disagreeing with, despite the fact you are speculating as you don't know for sure.

BBC Midlands Today just quoted a figure of "several million pounds". Fuck.

[Monty]

Well, boy do I wish Fredericks had been sent off early now.

[Legion]

I get the feeling this is not the greatest of news.

[PaulWinch again]

BBC Midlands Today just quoted a figure of "several million pounds". Fuck.

Which clearly would be a payment that has been building up.

[PeterWithesShin]

The Beeb are also saying that it's been said that Wyness being suspended has nowt to do with the HMRC issue. So who knows.

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 not thought to be connected to Wyness' suspension.

[sickbeggar]

well at least if we go into administration we should be easier to sell. Always look on the bright side.........

[Rudy Can't Fail]

BBC Midlands Today just quoted a figure of "several million pounds". Fuck.

Sky reported it as "The multimillion pound tax bill".

[aj2k77]

If we can't make the tax payment in full then it's pretty clear that The Doctor is a charlatan and hasn't got a pot to piss in.

[KevinGage]

I don't know what to make of all this.

In reality none of us do as we only have part of the story. It could be something that's ultimately minor and beyond being embarrassing is nothing to worry about, or we could be in massive massive shit.

So everything currently is going to be speculation.

Not really.
1, Today we found out that they are using unusual practices to generate cash ( discounting future transfer payments). Company’s with cash or access to credit don’t do that.
2.The CEO has been suspended.
3. The statement from the club says “ a substantial payment” not that all HMRC liabilities will be bought up to date.

And that they are 'confident' of paying it.  Not that they will.

I was confident on my first and second driving test. Fat lot of good it did me.

[Madferret62]

“we understand that the payment will be made in the next 48 hours” (source BBC).

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)

Don't panic everyone a chauffeur in Little Aston is revving up AV1 as I type, to deliver a cheque to Villa Park, made payable to HMRC
His employer will rock up in  morning astride a white charger and take up residence at B6 - all hail Sir Doug !
