Anderton is currently the Chief Executive Offiver of Al Jazira Club in Abu Dhabi. 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.
His nickname is "Firework Phil", because he provided lavish firework displays and entertainment before rugby games at Murrayfield, the home of the Scottish Rugby Union. These were criticised by Sir Clive Woodward as a distraction, and by Matt Dawson as a waste of the SRU's money, 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.
[edit] Heart of Midlothian
From March 2005 to October 2005, he served as the Chief Executive of the SPL football club Hearts, based at Tynecastle in Edinburgh. Anderton's dismissal as chief executive by majority owner Vladimir Romanov prompted Hearts chairman, George Foulkes, to resign in protest.
[edit] ATP
Since leaving Hearts, Anderton has taken up a position with the Men's professional tennis tour, the ATP.

Possibly a media oriented choice to extract as much wealth as we can through this avenue now we are a worldwide name? Obviously the revenue is set for the European and domestic competitions, but could we somehow expand revenue streams through to other continents?
Finding someone who tells the truth would be a good start..............

I haven't seen any media saying Anderton resigned.
