Well he was the voice, the frontman, the one who said it was 'Deal of the Century', and the one who basically said that Goodison was not a viable option at all.
I would have said the same thing if kenwrong paid me the amount of money he's getting.

So the CEO makes all the decisions? Surely thats the job of the board? Surely if they had a problem with his soundbites they would have made him correct them?
The fact is everything that Wyness said and done was on the boards say so. To even try and shift any blame towards him is a joke.
The CEO surely just manages the business on a day to day level. Deals with most aspects within the Club, but wont have any real say with regards to REALLY big things, such as moving the Club 4 miles down the road.
Or rather he said things he shouldnt, for example,
"We have put all our eggs in this Kirkby basket, when it goes tits up, we are screwed cos we aint got nothing else and cant even plan anything else cos we signed a contract binding us to this complete farce for the next 2-3 years"
Wyness is just coming out as a scapegoat, at the end of the day no matter what he advised it would have to have the Boards approval before going public.
The final decision was the major shareholders sure, but they pay people to advise them, like Wyness. They are not going to pay someone a fortune to just ignore them.
Why did he leave so soon after the real Kirkby stadium started to filter through?
