	Edinburgh Evening News - Sport - Rugby - Firework Phil's final rocket? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		PHIL ANDERTON today revealed his resignation as chief executive of the Scottish Rugby Union in a shock telephone call to the Evening News as the crisis within the governing body hit hitherto unexplored depths.
		Anderton said: "By going to the back benches, as it were, there is less chance of clubs continuing down the route they are being taken and instead acting decisively to take action to correct the mis-information.
		Anderton was due to outline his plans further later today at a hastily arranged media conference in an Edinburgh hotel but from the moment he reported to Murrayfield today that his position was becoming untenable.

		"Phil has more than measured up against a number of talented candidates identified in a search that was international in its reach," he said.

	Sport \| Chief executive quits as Scottish crisis deepens
		Phil Anderton, the Scottish Rugby Union's chief executive who had been in his post for less than a year, quit in support of his former chairman David Mackay after his resignation on Monday when the union's general committee passed a vote of no confidence in him.
		Anderton said that he was resigning in the hope of bouncing back after the January 30 special general meeting called weeks ago to discuss the structure of the game north of the border.
		Anderton is not guaranteed the support of the clubs who, while largely critical of the vote of no confidence in Mackay, have been concerned at the executive board plans to restructure the game and invest more in the professional arm at their expense.

	Phil Anderton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His nickname is "Firework Phil" because he has provided lavish firework displays and entertainment before rugby games at Murrayfield, the home of the Scottish Rugby Union.
		These were criticised by Sir Clive Woodward as a distraction from international games with England, and by Matt Dawson as a waste of the SRU's money after the Calcutta Cup game in Edinburgh in 2004, but Anderton is unrepentant on both counts.
		A business background was helping him to bring the SRU back to financial solvency, until he resigned as CEO in January 2005 after David Mackay (Chairman of the SRU) was forced to resign by the SRU General Committee.

	Anderton’s grand plan might look good on paper but why such a hard sell? - [Sunday Herald]
		Anderton’s background is in marketing, but at a rather more sophisticated level than that imagined by the cartoonist whose portrayal of the discipline showed rabbit droppings being fed into bags marked “raisins”.
		Anderton knows better than anyone that he is selling restor ation projects rather than finished articles, and he is not ashamed to admit it.
		Anderton does not only have to sell the idea to outside investors, but has to effect a shift in thinking within his own organisation, which has long had a culture of interference in the relationship between the Scotland management and those in charge of the professional teams.

	Anderton: SRU need one body to run rugby - [Sunday Herald]
		Phil Anderton, the former SRU chief executive whose resignation this month sent Scottish rugby’s governing body into administrative tailspin, has warned Scotland’s clubs to be on their guard when they gather to debate the future of their sport at today’s special general meeting of the union at Murrayfield.
		Anderton, whose resig-nation was provoked by the committee’s vote of no confidence in SRU chairman David Mackay, who also resigned, reiterates the case for a single executive board to run Scottish rugby, alongside a hands-off system of governance that would allow clubs to retain their historic influence over the governing body through an elected council.
		Anderton’s concerns for the future governance of rugby have been given support, albeit unintended, by a document released by the SRU general committee on Friday.

		Anderton has already denied the allegations and appointed a lawyer and a leading PR firm, which insisted his pay-off was £250,000 before tax.

		And as Phil Anderton sat down to speak, it was clear from his angry expression that their closure could be rich in symbolic value.
		Anderton spoke with a withering conviction that signalled the visceral contempt in which he held those members of the SRU general committee who had effectively dismissed both David Mackay and himself.
		Anderton himself believes he should have done more to allay fears among clubs, although calming discontent was made more difficult after the committee told him that he was not to contact clubs directly, but had to go through channels they controlled.
