Keith Wyness, boozey. An absolutely useless twat.



He needs locking up with Shit Shoed Tony.

His pitch was basically "Hi criminals, arms traders etc. Would you like me to clean your money for you via English football?"

If you haven't seen the documentary about him and the Xia deal on Al Jazeera, it's fairly jaw-dropping!

The Villa Engine is right up there with embarrassing announcements and there have been a few in my time.

I did think at the time "at least they're trying". It did feel like an attempt to be modern rather than the slapdash approach we'd had before, the problem was that much like with the Austin Metro we chose an engine that was already about 30 years out of date.

Of course WM revelled in it - I remember a jingle they had with a car starting up then backfiring all the time.  Twonks.

Tom Fox was a weird one, after having a board with Faulkner and Krulak, it finally felt like they were trying to appoint a bloke with proper football knowledge. He was an absolute unmitigated disaster though, the Robin Olsen of executives.

Did this predate the African Car Reverser?

He always reminded me of the "Hi, I'm Ed Winchester" character off of the Fast Show.
