Wonder if Keith Wyness will be there on Wednesday?

I'd pity the fans having to sit by him, having him wobbling all over half of their seats as well as his own.

Yeah, when I saw a comment that he was at the game I expected as a guest in the director's lounge given he'd worked at both clubs, didn't expect him to be in the away end. Guess he still has his share in the club as well, whatever you think of him personally the club is in an remarkably better position that it was when he came, he was pretty much the public face of us no longer being an absolute joke and he did a good job of it, carpethead aside.

No-one sees him as a hero but he's no dastardly villain either. I never like owners and directors sitting with the fans, it makes me sceptical that they're trying to buy goodwill for when it inevitably goes belly up. See Heath. S.

As he is no longer employed by the club it didn't bother me really. He can still stick Terrace View up his arse though.

I'm not sure why there are negative connotations around this.
I'm sure he didn't HAVE to be there. He chose to be.
Fair play to him.

I'd imagine it was his kids that wanted to go. If it was just him he'd be in the Director's seats or there abouts. My guess is his kids are Villa fans, have watched from the Trinity seats, seem how much fun the Villa fans were having and wanted to join them. Fair play.

He’s the last person I would have expected to see
I had him nailed on for a money grabbing job in Saudi not belting out everywhere we follow from the shed end

He's nearly 60, I doubt any offspring he has are little kids any more.

Fair shout - not as cringeworthy as you expect.

Maybe he did really care about the villa.

Obviously not as much as about himself but you know
