BBC sports editor Mihir Bose believes Wyness's exit was prompted by retail tycoon Philip Green's involvement behind the scenes at Goodison Park.
"Although Green, one of the richest men in the country, is not formally connected to Everton, he has been involved in much of the Toffees' recent activity," said Bose.
"I understand the manager David Moyes has had to go to Green on his plans to buy and sell players, and also finalise his contract."
Green is a long-standing friend of Everton chairman Bill Kenwright and Robert Earl, who owns nearly 24% of Everton through a British Virgin Islands company.
Green confirmed his relationship with Kenwright, and speaking to Bose, he said: "Everybody knows I'm a friend of Bill Kenwright, and I helped him get Everton.
