You do realise this is exactly what was expected and predicted by many people? In fact, RM was ridiculed and slated in several other places for allowing people to hold those opinions.
From the outset, C1872 was always going to go down this route - it was inevitable. Hopefully it can recover, make the right decisions now and move on. I really, really have my doubts. 
Ill ask you - do you believe CH will still be on the board in one month's time? If so, do you think C1872 will still be a credible organisation? 

If they were trying to put people off, they couldn't do a better job than they already are. 

You're absolutely right, he has every right to apply for the job. Not as a director, particularly one who stood on independence. He definitely should have withdrawn from any contact with the club as a C1872 rep, almost definitely resigned.
He's damaged C1872, probably fatally. Well done to the three directors who resigned, principled People. Shame on those who didn't. 

You were conned mate, there's no shame in that. 
The thing for me is, everyone who sees what has gone on here and continues to pay is supporting the organisation. The organisation currently consists of people who have full knowledge of the facts surrounding this and haven't resigned, which 3 principled people did. 
I'm on record with the reasons I didn't join RF or C1872 (although I was fully involved in RM donating a large sum to RF). I could see what was coming, as could many others. That's not bragging, though, I was as conned by anyone by Craig Whyte among others.
All we can do is examine our conscience with the info we have. If you look at the situation and decide what you want to do is continue donating, that's your choice. Nobody else puts bread on your table, nobody can tell you what to do with your money. Make your own mind up, and do what you think is right  

That's true, eskbankloyal has said from the start he didn't think Houston should be involved.

It wasn't specifically a go at you mate, I've read that so many times. I just don't get it, I've got a daughter and I'd clean toilets if I had to to keep her safe and warm. Slagging people's jobs doesn't sit well with me.

As predictable as it is sickening.

I'll tell you what - I'm not Houston's biggest fan by any means, but I can't say I'm comfortable with him being slagged for being an 'oven cleaner.' Every one of us does something different for a living, denigrating someone because you feel their occupation is beneath you says more about you than it does about them, in my opinion. 
I've got family, friends, etc who do jobs others may see as menial, but fuck slagging them for it. I would do anything I needed to to earn a living, I've done some 'lowly' jobs in my time.
Rant over, but ffs there's plenty to slag him for other than having his own business (I think) and trying to make an honest crust.

I'll take that mate, thanks, totally undeserved though. I just babysit a forum that lets people speak their mind with no party line to follow. 

By the way, I half expect defamation of the three who resigned to start tomorrow. If it does, anyone supporting it knowingly should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

Don't know much about the two ladies, have a positive impression from the little I've heard. D'Art resigning tells me everything I need to know.
Edit: actually, I hope we get some clarity. It doesn't look good for C1872 though.

It's Craig Houston.

Statement from the three directors. Shocked that the behaviour of Craig Houston was behind this...
