He took the team into the First Division (now the Championship) from an automatic promotion place in 1997. He also took the club to the semi finals of what was then the Coca Cola Cup where they were narrowly defeated by Middlesbrough, 2-1 on aggregate despite an impressive win at the Riverside Stadium.

Southampton

This promotion brought him to the attention of Southampton, who offered him a contract to manage their Premiership team.

The case put tremendous strain on the manager, who was forced to defend his case on Merseyside whilst managing a team based over two hundred miles away on the south coast.

When the case eventually came to court, it was thrown out in its first week - the judge recording a not guilty verdict and commenting that the case should have never reached the trial stage.
