Vautin resigns from Manly Football
Club board

Former Test player Paul Vautin has resigned from the Manly Football Club board, effective immediately.

Vautin, one of the club's most prominent former players and a rugby league commentator, announced two weeks ago he would stand down as chairman and board member at the annual general meeting in December.

The Daily Telegraph says he decided to resign now to prevent the embattled Sea Eagles from further hemorrhaging.
