It would be extraordinary for a suspended Chief Executive to ever return to the same company again. He'll resign 'freely' in the coming days or weeks I reckon.

I think he’ll be fed to sharks in Xias secret underground Volcanic island.

Whenever I've heard Wyness on WM, I thought he sounded full of good sense and ideas. This reminds me of when Mervyn King and Bernstein left when Randy went completely cuckoo.

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

Fucking circus. Never trusted Xia

Isn’t it a bit early for all this ?

Well that escalated quickly.

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.

In the meantime they are considering a £35m bid for a right back from Inter Milan.  Oh what could have been!

They resigned. I still have copies of their letters. Wyness has been suspended.

If Dr X doesn't have the money or is unable to get the money out of China then either way we are in the shit. A fire sale is coming by the start of next month.

Where's the money from 17,000 season ticket sales?

If Wyness has been touting the club, maybe he's been touting the players too.

Aye. We are quick to move to seppuku at faintest hint of a crisis. Things might turn out to be terrible, but let it get there first.

there won't be much of a fire sale we've only got about two saleable assets that would bring in big money

I know, but it all feels like when Axl Rose sacked every member of Guns 'n' Roses - ironically, when making "Chinese Democracy".

well there's no doubt, if anyone is interested in any of our players they'll be on the phone first thing tomorrow after this.

It's all rumours tonight, but another thing I read earlier suggested we used future earnings on the sale of Amavi and Sanchez to improve immediate cashflow problems a couple of months back.

In a terrible addition, it's also been explained to me that Fosun, who own Wolves, are not supposed to have the same issues moving money into Europe as they already have European companies to get their assets out of China.

Don’t panic. Our phones were cut off today.
