He was also signing off on some stupid deals too. Oh I'm not suggesting he's blameless for a second. But the impression I had was the reason he and Xia fell out was because he'd gone behind Xia's back in trying to find investment for the club because he knew it was going under. I'm happy to be proved wrong on that. I can't point to any specific evidence that has given me that opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other argument is that he was trying to sell the club from under his boss’s feet to line his own pockets. Nobody has employed him since the sacking from what I can tell.

Open question, I genuinely don't know the answer. That prick wanted to put us in administration which would have absolutely destroyed us.

mikeyjavfc Posted November 1, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2019 So can we take this as proof that Wyness did nothing wrong? Or is a Out of court settlement just better for everyone as it will keep the embarrassing truth of how our club was run under Xia out of there courts?

Court cases like these drag on forever, does indeed make things public when it just isn’t necessary to do so, becomes a distraction, Chinese walls and all sorts of nonsense get set up on the clubs systems, correspondence starts being restricted and in the hands of solicitors, lawyers going through all the files and having to disclose confidential stuff blah blah. We have owners for whom money is no object. Why bother when you can pay a comparatively low amount of money, make a statement that has been requested by Wyness’s solicitor and thereby avoid protracted and resource-consuming litigation and move on? I wouldn’t get too hung up on the reasons for such a settlement. 9/10 it means “oh **** it let’s just move on I can’t be arsed”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I love the way the club are dealing with things these days. No messing around. It still feels weird having top people in charge after so many of years of mismanagement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) We just wanted the fat word removed to go away and go away quietly, mission accomplished. He's an absolute fat **** scumbag.

TheStagMan Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Hopefully after this Wyness will never get another job in football again, we have now gotten his stench out of the club and drawn a line under everything so can now move forward. Hope he enjoys his ill-gotten gains the fat shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Wish people would just leave him alone for a while now. He’s got a very busy few weeks ahead and my children are certainly looking forward to seeing him at the Merry Hill grotto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 There's an interview with him in the athletic, apparently offered Moyes a ten year contract as our manager before giving the job to Bruce. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put it past him. With the ludicrous fees and wages paid during his tenure he very clearly has ZERO business acumen, so yeah, why not? Let's offer Moyes a 10 year contract.
