St Mirren urge director to consider resignation after boardroom row at Scottish Premier club Withey quit Collyer Bristow two weeks ago and the company has said he acted as Rangers" secretary in a purely private capacity, but when he approached St Mirren again on behalf of McGeoch and his business partner, Paul Davies, in January, it was in his role as a partner with the legal firm. During the meeting, Mr Withey had sight of and inspected commercially sensitive documents of St Mirren Football Club. At one point during the meeting, the club's general manager was brought into the meeting and asked various questions, including whether or not the club used Employee Benefit Trusts. As a director of the company, Mr McGeoch had every right to inspect such documents. The board, however, consider that his decision to show these documents to an office holder of another SPL club is a serious breach of trust and an error of judgment. In light of the information available to the board, they have asked Mr McGeoch to resign his position as a director of the company with immediate effect. Should he fail to do so within the next 48 hours, we regret the company shall be forced to call, at the club's expense, an extraordinary general meeting of the company to consider this matter further. Neither the Scottish Premier nor the Scottish Football Association have rules that prevent the secretary of one club acting in regard of another, but a senior SPL source said: "It would be highly unusual, to say the least, and we certainly cannot think of an example of such an action taking place."
