cyrusr Posted July 8, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2016 Still not seen anything official but he is a formal director of Aston Villa FC Limited and Aston Villa Football Club Limited on Companies House; suggesting that all is done on the Fit and Proper Test.

NeilS Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I imagine that he and the others have all passed the test, and it won't be announced as as an article on a website or newspaper as it is not really a news story that they pass this test, if they failed the test then it would be a story. The only one the papers were interested in passing the test was Dr Xia, and he has passed with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure - it was a story that they were having f+p test - a story when it was postponed - surley a few lines if they pass ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) You can bet there are lots of journalists who have this in their b/f. We will hear if he passed it, I am sure Edited July 8, 2016 by briny_ear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Was at a stadium tour at the club on Monday. Speaking to the tour guide, asked her about Tom Fox . She said and I'm paraphrasing, very cold man, wouldn't greet or speak to staff. Wyness she said is pretty much at the stadium Mon-Fri between there and bodymor which is 8 miles away. Very chatty, likeable guy was her words. Ps: She said WBA are in for Clark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) I've unearthed some interesting news there. That Di Matteo along with Wyness is going all the way to China at this stage, shows how serious the club are about making an impact in that country. Maybe the prelude to something interesting. Edited July 29, 2016 by useless 'I've unearthed some i nteresting news' was meant in a light-hearted jokey way. I wasn't trying to make out that I'd found out something that no one else had spotted. Unlike some, and good luck to them, I have no desire to be first with news, or seem itk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted July 17, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 17, 2016 Whenever I see this thread pop up I keep trying to work out a pun on Wyness' name in a similar spirit to this Sideshow Bob joke, but just can't make it work. Which is probably just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good spot. You know, I keep seeing Wyness linked with Villa I suspect he might be involved with a takeover at Villa.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrentVilla Posted August 22, 2016 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2016 Had to dig down a few pages to find this thread which says a lot about Wyness. Since his arrival he has kept a fairly low profile, exceptional low profile compared to our enigmatic owner, yet I get the feeling he is playing a huge role at the club. There appears to be a quiet efficiency at VP in all aspects of the club at the moment and some real progress in a lot of aspects and I think his persona and experience have had a big part to play in that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more If you'd said to me at the end of last season that no-one would comment on a member of the boards topic in over a month, and when they did it would be a positive comment, I'd have been completely shocked. No news is good news from the men behind the scenes as far as I'm concerned. It's nice getting info from Xia but other than that its nice to have an anonymous backroom team seemingly keeping things running smoothly. I'd rather forget Wyness is here than constantly remember Tom Fox, Paul Faulkner and the like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
