My reading is that he sensed the Doctors number was up and tried to organise a sale behind Xia's back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted June 6, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 6, 2018 We don't really know the truth yet but a club like Villa = massive opportunity for someone if gotten on the cheap. I can't imagine for one moment Wyness has any feeling for the club he walked into 2 years ago, more that he saw an opportunity to gain power and eventually make a lot of money, along with his British consortium pals AKA Simon Jordan - I never felt quite comfortable with the way Jordan was cosying up to the fans on Twitter, out of nowhere....

If Xia is the bad guy here and won't put any money in and we're going under as a result, then is what Wyness doing a good thing? Trying to get investment to save the club? It's an open question. I'm not an expert on what's happening. Guess it depends what version of events we're hearing is true and which isn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I can't believe people think Wyness was trying to help the club. The guy is as crooked as it comes and was trying to get the club sold on the cheap to pocket a windfall. I said earlier in the year no matter what happens to Villa Wyness will make a lot of money out of the club. I got slaughtered for it. Might even dig up some posts. I hope those that ridiculed me see my point now. Luckily it seems like he got rumbled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now whether fans think him securing new owners would have been in the best interest of Villa even if that wasn't his intention then thats a different matter. But personally I think if true, it stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leighavfc Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I am starting to think this way also. He must know that tone aint got the money either way. Whether that be for his own bemefit or generally concerned for the club, cant make my mind up. He doesnt cone across the type who gives two hoots especially with the Everton and Aberdeen stories!

Davkaus Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Stan isn't known for airing well-informed and nuanced views. We don't know Wyness's motivation. Is he a greedy bastard trying to line his own pockets, or did he see a club in such a state that we couldn't even sort out paying the tax bill, and decide it's time to put the club above the owner? Possibly both. Who knows. Certainly not Bollocksmore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
