NEW: Ernst Tanner has built a powerhouse at the Philadelphia Union.

But my @us.theguardian.com investigation has shown wide-ranging allegations of misbehavior throughout his 7-year tenure.

Tanner denies the allegations, and was investigated by MLS this year.

    Wow, I hate this, great reporting though. Taking my kid to the playoff game on Sunday and suddenly feel a bit sick about it.

    The more I read, the worse it got. Holy shit the front office is rotten. The fish rots from the head. Sugarman, Tanner, and, anyone else involved in the cover up needs to go.

    Hired an underqualified coach who was allegedly abusive toward players on the Philadelphia Union II, the club’s reserve team that is used as a proving ground for young players from its thriving academy.

    I was wondering what Piotr Nowak was up to these days
