Cliftonville FC has confirmed that chairman Keiran Harding has resigned from his position at the north Belfast club. This decision comes in the wake of the Toronto Investment Group (TIG) withdrawing their investment proposal aimed at taking over the Irish League club. Alongside Harding, directors David Begley and Adrian Keenan have also stepped down from their roles. The club issued a brief statement acknowledging their contributions and expressing gratitude for their dedication over the years. Harding, who took on the chairman role two years ago, highlighted the challenges faced during his tenure, particularly regarding the controversial investment proposal from TIG. He stated that the board had been subjected to a campaign of abuse and threats, which ultimately influenced their decision to resign. Harding emphasized that he always acted in the best interests of Cliftonville FC, ensuring due diligence was followed concerning the investment. The club is now tasked with finding interim replacements for the vacated positions as they navigate this significant transition.
