A reputation for good attractive (if occasionally ineffective and frustratingly inconsistent) football played by a bunch of young players who went on to prove themselves.

And a mountain of promises made to players about them getting improved contracts sowing the seeds of discontent for the future...

I'm particularly astonished at him doing this when he probably had an inkling he might not be at ER too long, and that he had set a precedent for not honouring a previous managers promise to a player in not giving Riordan a new deal...

Up till now; Brown, Thomson, Jones, and Killen have all came out with this.

I think Saint Tony knew exactly what he was doing. Get players in with promises of jam tomorrow and get the best out of them while he was here and not giving a feck about the position of the next manager or the club when he fecked off.

My respect for him since he left has went downhill in a fairly rapid way...
