Keith Wyness

He's not been here two years, so unless his contract says otherwise, he doesn't qualify for the remedy of constructive dismissal.

Unless I'm not remember the LPC right. Richard?

[Richard E]

He’d need 2 years’ service to bring an Unfair Dismissal Claim subject to certain limited exceptions, none of which appear on the face of it to apply here.

Wasn't it 1 year for unfair dismissal and 2 for redundancy and constructive dismissal? I'm trying to channel an Acquisition workshop from 2010 but the Peroni and the sun has addled my brain.

[Richard E]

No it’s always been the same for both. The qualifying period has gone up and down over the years.

Oh well that's a shame for Keith. Oh well, never mind.

[Risso]

As Richard said, it's far more likely to be for breach of contract I would think.

The takeover was first announced in May 2016.

That said I remember when we announced Di Matteo he said at the press conference he was still under football league checks so wasn't officially CEO at that point.

It takes a special kind of arrogance for this man to believe that having been the individual who gambled on putting moderate players on ludicrous salaries and subsequently crashing and burning he could then sue the club for money he knows it doesn’t have.

The Club notes the media speculation relating to Keith’s departure and prospective legal proceedings.

The Club will be happy to defend legal proceedings if called on to do so and does not propose to comment further at this time.

[Monty]

Hoh boy, it's a fiasco.

[Toronto Villa]

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out custard pants

[andyh]

A ‘bring it on’ statement is all very ‘trumpesque’ .

[mr underhill]

fat useless turd

[AV82EC]

A ‘bring it on’ statement is all very ‘trumpesque’ .

It may well be but it doesn’t mean the club shouldn’t defend itself from a **** like Wyness.

[olaftab]

Wyness has a cheek to even think about legal proceedings. He has failed miserably in his main objective and left the business in utter chaos. Surely a most sackable status if he wasn’t prepared to do the honourable thing and resign.
