I liked Rioch

I think he was maligned in these parts because he walked out on Delia and co after saying there was no way he could acheive what they wanted withthe budget he was offered. The press subsequently marked him down as Delia was revered at the time.

Hamilton went and signed players Rioch turned down, and it turns out they were rubbish...

In the same way Hamilton almost immediatly lost the dressing room and key players such as Iwan, I think Grant has managed the same.

The first player critisised by Grant was Hucks... looks like Grants subbing twice on a hat trick and comments RE Cureton havent done much good either...
