Good luck to him, hope he got a big fat cheque outa Hughes.

I thought Tony "resigned" I think he has done okay out of David Hughes over the years! of he got a pay off for a few months service, if I was him I would take the money and just GO!

I wish Tony all the best, never like to see anyone have to leave, but he should Never have been retained after he came back to rescue us, a few wins got many carried away, his best days had gone.

Cost cutting exercise, nothing more he has done his job.

Good luck Tony, Thanks for everything and loyalty to the cause.

Feel this is the right decision by Tony.
He's kept us alive as a club & taken the flack off Joe Grima while he settles in & finds out what an uphill struggle he's let himself in for.
Wish Tony & his family all the best for the future in whatever course he chooses to take.

Grima said on Sky Sports News that there will be "changes" in the next 2 to 3 weeks

I have been a critic of TR from way back. However I can't doubt his loyalty over the years and I wish him every success. Hope you get to be kangaroos coach Tony!

The right decision but, in the round, TR has been one of the finest employees the club has had. It will be a shame if he leaves the club completely. Let's hope this Hall of Fame thing comes off and TR is one of the first to be recognised.

He was so pro-London it was ridiculous.

Now he has gone, just so people know and not tar him with a gus brush, he was asking about recruitment from as early as August last year. His hands were tied re money and our existence, and we missed out on some players as a result. We then were in the awkward position of having to sweep up players where we could. Don't ever think he did nothing about this when he was all along.

I also recall him in 2000 coming over here and letting me interview him which was put on the old site. He came round my flat and spent about 90 mins talking about London with a passion that was so clear.

Of all the good and bad things said about him and what he has done and did. He was always doing things with the intention to benefit us. That's what I'll thank hm for.

As an outsider looking in I can't see anything but looking into the future in the Championship. Switching coaches at this time in the season especially when your lads have been improving (a win will come soon!) is a bad idea. He was just starting to get them to play how he wanted. Also reports said Rae would have rather stayed on. Good luck rest of the season guys.
