Aston villa chief excutive, Keith Wyness banned for three weeks.

Keith Wyness, Aston villa chief executive has been suspended from all football-related activity for three weeks by the Football Association for misconduct relating to a social media post.




The 59-year-old shared a video Twitter of Villa being denied a penalty during the final game of the Championship season against Brighton last month which had a caption questioning whether under-performing referees had ''disabilities".

"He admitted an FA charge that a comment he re-tweeted accompanied with a video was abusive and/or insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute contrary to FA Rule E3(1)," an FA statement read.

"Furthermore, the breach was "aggravated" as defined in FA Rule E3(2), as it included a reference to disability.
"Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing, Wyness was also fined £10,000 and ordered to complete an education course.
"His suspension will run from date of the expiry of the period that he has to appeal the decision."
