Well I think it's a safe bet we'll never find out the real truth.  Strikes me that this geezer can't lie straight in bed.

Is he suspended as he would prove costly to be utterly dismissed ?!

Indeed, for £6m for constructive dismissal according the Torygraph. Knowing how much trouble the club is in that's a pretty cowardly low blow if true.

What's the bloke supposed to do?  What would you do if you felt you'd been harshly suspended.  At the end of the day, if the club is in as bad a state as desxribed recently, as a director he appears to have done nothing wrong, quite the opposite, he's done what's legally required as a director.  if the club have suspended him for that it's going to be another very costly mistake.

I'll take it on for the Club at mate's rates, if only to get the inside track on what's happening...

If the facts are as reported then he has a good claim ...... lets remember its his job ....... the figure of £6 million sounds odd tho as his salary is reported as being nothing like that

I'm not sure "i was only following orders" is  a get-out for Wyness. End of the day if your a CEO then gambling the club's future on promotion isn't really a well thought out plan. He should have told the owner it was stupid at least.

I think it about the rumour he was looking at insolvency solutions behind Tony’s back.

It is also understood there may be legal action taken against two members of staff, chief commercial offer Luke Organ and executive assistant Rongtian He. The reasons are as yet unknown. Both cases could go to a tribunal, sources claim.

Action by Wyness against those two people or by the club ?

An Employment Tribunal doesn’t have jurisdiction to award damages of anything like £6 million in a constructive dismissal claim and could only hear a claim against individuals other than the employer in a discrimination case. I suspect what’s actually being threatened is some sort of breach of contract claim in the High Court.

 Unless we’ve been misinformed about his salary or there are massive bonus or pension provisions I’m struggling to see where the figure could come from.

Whether it was behind his boss's back or not, he's legally obliged to do this in these circumstances.  Xia, as a director of a UK company, is also supposed to know this.  As I said before, in certain circumstances directors of insolvent companies can be liable for the debts.  What would you do if it was your prosessional career and personal solvency on the line, all caused by the owner not sending over the promised funds?

Was it really 16 days ago that I was enjoying a pre match beer in anticipation of a great day out and our return to the PL.

16 days later, the club has fallen apart.  None payment of tax bills, suspension of a Senior Employee, now being sued by said employee, the owner trying to scrabble loans together just to keep the lights switched on in June, no grass on the playing surface, all major players about to be sold.  To quote the great Charlie Aitken 'I was better treated as an amateur.'
