Profile: Wyness

Wyness joined in September ’04 with a grandiose plan to turn round the clubs failing fortunes off the pitch. During his tenure debt has increased and he has outsourced various functions at the club – the catering has gone to a business who specialise in school dinners and the merchandise to JJB. He has also sold various fixed assets at the club including Finch Farm before the works were actually completed

Keith was also considered by some to be the driving force behind Kirkby. Kirkby as we all probably know is a project which has made him very unpopular amongst a segment of the fan base.

Wyness resigned as Everton CEO on 29th July 2008.

Just before Wyness resigned, he made comments that suggested that the Kirkby project may be a dead duck if called in – could this be a precursor to any news with regards to Destination Kirkby.
