Keith Wyness has been suspended by Aston Villa Football Club (AVFC)
Aston Villa Football Club has confirmed that Chief Executive Keith Wyness has been suspended.
The announcement was made as it emerged Villa are working with HM Revenue & Customs to resolve an unpaid tax bill.
While the club is believed to be sorting out the outstanding tax bill within the next 48 hours, this issue is not connected to Wyness’ suspension.
In an official statement on their website, the club stated:
“Aston Villa Football Club can confirm that Chief Executive, Keith Wyness, has been suspended by the club with immediate effect.
“Owner and Chairman, Dr Tony Xia will assume the role until further notice.
There will be no further comment from the club at this time.”
Keith Wyness joined Aston Villa FC in June 2016, not long after new Chinese owners took over at the club.
Last month, Villa lost 1-0 to Fulham in the play-off final at Wembley, resulting in them spending a third consecutive season in the second tier.
