He was caretaker manager of Crystal Palace for six matches following the departure of Terry Venables in 1980.[2] He was later assistant manager to John Hollins at Chelsea during the mid-1980s, and reserve manager under Steve Harrison at Watford. His brother Tom played for Watford and Wales, and was a coach at Watford at the same time as Ernie.[3]
