"Phil Anderton" is a Scotland/Scottish business and marketing executive.

He was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Scottish Rugby Union in February 2004, after several years of successful marketing within the SRU. He was nicknamed "Firework Phil", because he provided lavish firework displays and entertainment before rugby games at Murrayfield Stadium. These were criticised by Sir Clive Woodward as "more like a pop concert than a rugby match" after the Calcutta Cup game in Edinburgh in 2004, but Anderton was unrepentant on both counts. Anderton resigned as CEO in January 2005 after David Mackay (Chairman of the SRU) was forced to resign by the SRU General Committee.

We have changed the objective now to sell out every league game of the season. The response from the fans has been great.

Any suggestion Mr Romanov personally intervened and phoned Dundee United to call off the deal is complete nonsense. If we sell or buy a player it's a financial matter as well as a football issue and the board has a say. The package for Neil MacFarlane wasn't appropriate and so we said 'no'.

We offered all supporters, via our website, the opportunity to submit their views against four options and overwhelmingly they wanted smoking to be banned in the outdoor sections of the stadium.

George and his chief scout Simon Hunt have contacts throughout the world and Vladmir Romanov also has a lot of contacts through his involvement with clubs. We are still looking for players and the search goes on.

It would be completely different if they came from Stuttgart, but some of these players are here from Kaunas and there's a measure of influence we can have there.

We will not be pursuing our interest in this particular player. The club didn't feel that the overall value was right and will therefore now look at other options.
