So they'll have no problem releasing the correspondence (anonymized of course) to back this up ? Thought not.

Suggested by who ? The members ? Really ?

Looking back at recent resignations: Chairman - Malcolm McNiven Vice Chairman - Scott McMillan Webmaster - Stewart Franklin Marketing/Shop - Andy McGowan Secretary/Gersave - Derek Howie Treasurer - Callum Renton Founder - David Tweed Crisis ? What crisis ? That just leaves Dingwall's Dozen. Crikey.

Yes. The Follow Follow Trust is born.

Indeed. The choice was himself or seven. He chose himself.

Its a shambles Something that looked so promising has been fucked up good and proper. And all down to one man.

I understand that Mark Dingwall, despite what he said to the Daily Record, has been asked to stand down. He won't do so - and without his resignation, the Trust is dead. I also understand that the present situation of 7 resignations can be directly attributable to him.

I wasn't criticising any of those players, just saying that Walter has previous for playing centrehalfs at full back. And I'm sure before Hutton was even a centre half, he started off as a striker!

It's not like Walter doesn't have previous. Let's name all the centrehalfs he's played at full back. I'll start: Kirk Broadfoot Sasa Papac Davie McPherson Craig Moore .. .. ..

I think if anyone believes that Mark Dingwall, with his decades of political experience, won't have the SGM well and trully stitched up then they button up the back. The SGM might not be the barometer of success - its what happens after that.

I see over on FF the new vice-chairman has stated that he wants the reasons for the resignations made public and that this isn't happening out of respect for those that resigned. Oh really ? My understanding is that the new vice-chairman's master is the one with most to lose.

It's a fair question - and the answer is a resounding yes. And I might just attend and voice my opinions. I just very well might.

Keep your dignity, Blue, keep your dignity. And its Ernest. Try in earnest to get it right next time. :harhar:

Which version of the minutes will be available ? Before or after they have been 'suitably revised' ?

His politics per se don't have anything to do with it (might be different if he was a complete extremist, like a Conservative ). But he has hardly had a glitteringly successful political career. Jumping (being pushed?) from one party to another does not demonstrate consistency and commitment, nor does it result in electability. I don't recall him being able to bring the Scottish Unionist Party into the mainstream and make it electable. 225 votes for him the last time he stood (9th out of 10 - 10th place got 224 votes!) hardly demonstrates that he can bring success to the RST. In a recent speech to the SUP, Mark stated "we have to modernise the language of Unionism so that we are seen as relevant now and in the future and not yesterdays men seeking to turn back the clock". Indeed Mark, indeed.

Is it not strange that they publish some reasons for the resignations and not others ? Either publish none, or publish all.
