Keith Wyness

Collymore on Twitter suggesting that Wyness was touting the club to buyers behind Xia's back.

See  i don't believe that. Why would any responsible CE do that?

The key word is "Responsible".
If Wyness believed that the Doc was unable or unwilling to ship cash to the Club, maybe he thought it was the only way out of a short-term cash crisis.

Doesn't matter. It's not in his remit. The CE doesn't just go off on his own touting behind a company's owner or shareholders. It if goes tits-up then its not down to him. Smell like typical SVC bullshit

Well, it may or may not be SVC BS but Wyness is well connected in football circles (apparently) and might well have been 'fishing' for support - if only to save being embarrassed by a financial crisis on his watch.

maybe but if you were an owner of a company, would you employ a CE who had done that? Great way to make yourself unemployable,

Would a new buyer solve the FFP problem?

if so, arguably Wyness was doing his best for the club rather than the custodian/owner.

Would a new buyer solve the FFP problem?

No.

Wow. Looling like points deduction.  With a fire sale and no funds we could be looking at league 1.

Fucking circus. Never trusted Xia

Wolves could still have the same issue, just delayed by a season or two.

What I'm seeing on Twitter is Villa fans saying, 'See, it's just unpaid because Xia can't move money out of China, so he's going to cover the tax bill with a loan,' like that's all fine and dandy. I would say an owner on which this football club depends not to go bust being unable to use any wealth he is meant to have is very far from being fine and dandy.

Flatpack administration anyone? A CVA?

Does a ‘Flatpack Administration’ mean Villa will be bought by IKEA?

Wyness will quickly be forgotten. He's had a ride on the good ship Aston Villa and is gone.

What happens now is worrying, if it's just a tax bill of £5million - what's stopping Xia flogging the first team, training ground and fucking off?

Unreal, you couldn't make this up, it would be slanderous, my concern is, could any of this be deemed as breaking financial rules within the FA, inappropriate behavior or conduct, as such could that mean a points penalty deduction going into next season, we could be fighting not just for financial survival, if we get as far as next season, point deduction could mean Championship survival, somebody buy us out....please.

Also hasn't Wyness been suspended rather than sacked?

Does he earn enough playing for Feyenoord to buy us?

[kippaxvilla2]

At least the fit and proper owners test by the football league has saved us from the abyss this time.

Isn’t it a bit early for all this ?

yeah you think if he was hosting meetings with potential buyers behind Tony's back he'd have gone. My guess is he's pointed out a few financial home truths and it hasn't gone down well. Still you'd think if he was that unhappy he'd resign to protect himself.

Probably, Based upon the last two weeks this news is at least a fortnight away
