Groundhog Day - BHA style



For those more (ahem) mature fans out there.

This season is rapdly turning into the replica of the 1986-87 season

An ex Brighton player who is the fans favourite manager (Cattlin) is ousted in mysterious circumstances having nearly (but not quite) achived promotion with an unlikely combination of youngsters and old second hand used players............

and replaced with a two time promotion winning all time legend manager (Alan Mullery) returning for the second spell they always say peaople should never go back for.

who promptly takes a side that just missed out on promotion to the other end of the table playing the worst football some had seen in ten years........

and then, when relegation is a nailed on certainty, the manager with legendary status is sacked, and replaced with the chief scout, whose job is to get all the over earning players out and replace them with a team that is more "cost effective".

The name of the chief scout in 86-87 ?



Barry Lloyd!!!!


and who is the Chief scout in 2008-09 ?

Work it out dear readers..........

Bloody hell if it does work out like that then we'd better enjoy what we've got now because there are very dark days ahead.

Which thread is the original and which is the groundhog?

After 4 years on NSC I am personally starting to see the same old, same old regurgitating itself.

Have we come to a crossroads in original topic threads?

Can I just point out (again, sorry) that if Barry Lloyd were to be appointed manager it would officially be the funniest thing ever.
