Kilmarnock FC director Russel Smith resigns from position on the board

"Russel Smith has resigned as a director of Kilmarnock FC .

The latest twist in the Killie saga comes in another week of off-field drama at Rugby Park.

Lifelong Kilmarnock fan Smith was one of the original board members following the debt re-contruction deal in March 2014.

Along with Billy Bowie, Michael Johnston, David Moran and Jim Mann, he was part of the five-man board formed after the club’s debt was cleared.

But now, over two–and–a–half years later, only Bowie and Johnston remain on the board with John Kiltie, who joined in early 2015."

had some faint hope after the EGM had stalled and the pay out not worked --- that the other Directors might had another plan on the go that could have ousted MJ but going on this news -- it seems not -- from the outside anyhow

Some may say its hindsight but both Moran and Smith espicially ----knew about MJ''s history and must have taken advice beforehand ---so it still is baffling why with their experience they first invested to support MJ and then did not get some legal changes made to the Club's procedures as a condition of them investing 

 

Still sad to hear that another investor has failed to change things from the inside and now leaves our club

This is the guy who came onto the old forum and asked what the issues were regarding MJ ..... doesnt sound like much of a lifelong Killie fan if he had to ask that!

 

He then said he used the kids inheritance money to buy his place on the board .... that didn't make him sound like a great businessman either.

 

Will he missed? ... doubtful.

i think you should see this positively, looks like something is happening!

Really? If anything I would suggest he has resigned as nothing is happening!! 

We are making zero progress in removing the parasite and will soon be back to a 2 man board IMO. 

You can guess who will be putting himself forward for the Chairman again....

We are not too far away from a two man board again. The new directors were all announced as great appointments who would use their business skills to drive the club forward. 

Instead nothing has happened, MJ is still on the board, the club continues with its rapid decline and the fans are unable to do anything about it. 

A very sad state of affairs, the utter selfishness and naked self interest of MJ is going to ruin the club for ever.
